Klipper firmware compilation

The unit comes with firmware pre-installed. If you want to upgrade the firmware, these are the steps to reproduce. This can be done directly from Recore, or from a regular computer. If the device ID doesn't match, the board is not in DFU mode, and needs to be manually started that way. Use a paperclip or some wire, unplug the USB of the device, short the two round pads on the back of the PCB and plug in the USB. At that point the RP2040 will be in DFU mode, allowing it to be flashed.

cd /home/debian/klipper
cp test/configs/rp2040.config .config
make olddefconfig
make -j
make flash FLASH_DEVICE="2e8a:0003"

After that, the board should be visible as OpenMoko, Inc. rp2040

Enter boot mode from the command line

cd /home/debian/klipper/scripts
python3 -c 'import flash_usb as u; u.enter_bootloader("<DEVICE>")'
Entering bootloader on <DEVICE>

<DEVICE> is typically "/dev/ttyACM0" or similar.
