The highlighted firmware above isn't the same as the one Mick said (it's missing USB in the name).

LOL - it needs something....  :)

Did you solder the TP pads under the Pico? I can't remember if there are holes there so that you can get flux in later.

Without the USB working you can only access the Pico using Tera Term and your PC's keyboard. To do that you need to load the ordinary HDMI non-USB firmware and keep the PC plugged into the Pico's USP port, not USB2.

You can probably get the SD card working with
OPTION SDCARD GP22, GP26, GP28, GP27

The USB connections from the Pico go to CN4 then the other side of CN4 goes to the USB hub chip. That's why you have to take the links off CN4 while installing MMBasic - the hub chip collides with the pico. Afterwards you need toreplace the CN4 links to get the hub to work.

Are there holes through the TP pads?

As Mick has already said.
Follow these instructions EXACTLY.
Remove all jumpers off the board and insert a micro-USB into the PROG connector, connected to a PC.
• Load up the 'HDMIUSB' firmware (V6.00.00b10 or greater) then remove the microUSB connector.
• Install jumpers to enable the USB hub circuit (1 to 2 and 3 to 4)
• Install jumpers to enable the SDcard (default is GP26, GP27, and GP28)
• Install a CR2032 battery
• Connect a USB-C cable to a PC, and an HDMI cable and press the on/off switch.
• You should then get the Copyright logo on the screen
• From the PC, using a terminal program, Type "OPTION RESET HDMIUSB" to fully configure the board and you are good to go.
The onboard USB hub allows you to connect up to 4 USB devices, keyboards mice, gamepads. A green
LED adjacent to the USB connector will light up to indicate they are operational. See the PicoMite User
Manual for more details

  tenij000 said  OPTION RESET HDMIUSB then get error


If you get this you have correct firmware.
> option reset list
HDMIUSB
OLIMEX USB
PICO COMPUTER
HDMIUSBI2S

If when you try  
OPTION RESET HDMIUSB
it does not wait for your response and you don't get a chance to enter Y/N
THEN adjust your TeraTerm setting.


> option reset hdmiusb

This erases everything in flash including the A: drive - are you sure (Y/N) ?

In TeraTerm:
Setup-->Terminal-->Transmit  Change to LF  NOT CR+LF
AFTER TeraTerm is set for LF on transmit  it should show this.

Using that firmware you have no USB- You need the HDMIUSB version to put the Pico's USB port into Host mode.
You also need the CN4 links in place to connect the hub to the Pico.

While USB is running, if you want the console you have to use Tera Term at 115200 baud connected to USB2.

Did you get this via
OPTION RESET HDMIUSB
or did you manually enter the options.

What about
OPTION SERIAL CONSOLE COM2,GP8,GP9

Normally the USB2 socket is only active when you are running the USB firmware and it has been set up. If you are running the non-USB firmware then you should be connecting to the Prog USB socket, which is (or at least should be) connected to the Pico's USB.

A PS2 keyboard would normally be connected to GP8 and GP9 by default but you can't use those as they are connected to USB2. You can specify different pins though. You'd have to set it up from the console.

Are you *sure* that you have bad soldering? Can you check it from the schematic?
