Raw
99-pico.rules
# /etc/udev/rules.d/99-pico.rules
# Make an RP2040 in BOOTSEL mode writable by all users, so you can `picotool`
# without `sudo`.
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2e8a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0003", MODE="0666"
# Symlink an RP2040 running MicroPython from /dev/pico.
#
# Then you can `mpr connect $(realpath /dev/pico)`.
