I've been out of the game a long time, but I am coming back and just getting started with the PicoMite.  Great job on this and thank you!  I'm coming from strictly using the Micromite Plus and loading saved programs as a Hex file and then loading that on multiple chips using the Pickit3.  Is there any option to do a similar thing with the picomite? Something similar to how you load the firmware on the Picomite so you don't have to run tera term or mmedit to program multiple PicoMites with the same program.  Thanks!

Yes, it can be done. Geoff has done it with the Pico Gamer. I believe you need a second Pico programmed as a Raspberry Pi Debug Probe or you can buy a ready to use module e.g.
I haven't done it myself

Is the OP not simply asking how to create a .uf2 file from the contents of one Pico so that it can then be copied onto others ?

That doesn't require any additional hardware, it just requires https://github.com/raspberrypi/picotool. This is how I created the firmware for the Game*Mite and presumably what Geoff did too.

Best wishes,

Tom

Yeah several of us have been doing this.

I had a problem until I upgraded to Picotool 2.

I have it uploaded here in a post somewhere.
