This contains code that + initializes the chip to load the main firmware from the + external flash chip, provides a failsafe USB-programmable + mode, and provides a few functions that the main firmware can + call to. + +BUGS + This ROM is programmed into the chip at the factory; revising + it means issuing a new revison of the RP2040 CPU. So while + the source code to the ROM is freely available to be used, + studied, and shared; one cannot install modified versions onto + the CPU. + +HISTORY + - RP2040 B0 : chips manufactured before September 2020 or so + - RP2040 B1 : chips manufactured after September 2020 or so + - Released to the public January 2021; chance whether you get + a B0 or a B1 chip. + - RP2040 B2 : released September 2021 + + Printed on the physical CPU is a label that indicates which + revision it is. For example: + + RP2-B2 21/24 + + indicates that it is the "B2" revision (and was manufactured + the 21st week (late May) of 2024). + +SEE ALSO + - /harness/cpuinfo.txt can report which CPU version you have. + + - The source code to each ROM revision is published at + https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-bootrom-rp2040 + +AUTHOR + Copyright (C) 2025 Luke T.
