Any
print() command ends up on the USB, and is shown on the computer via programs such as ampy get back.However, you can also send data over actual UART.
We managed to get it working based on: timhanewich.medium.com/using-uart-between-a-raspberry-pi-pico-and-raspberry-pi-3b-raspbian-71095d1b259f with the help of a DSD TECH USB to TTL Serial Converter CP2102 just as shown at: stackoverflow.com/questions/16040128/hook-up-raspberry-pi-via-ethernet-to-laptop-without-router/39086537#39086537 for the RPI.

Same as the more generic micropython/blink_gpio.py but with the onboard LED added.
rpi-pico-w/upython/blink.py 2025-07-26
Blink on-board LED. Note that they broke the LED hello world compatibility from non-W to W for God's sake!!!

The Zephir LED blinker example does not work on the Raspberry Pi Pico W because the on-board LED is wired differently. But the hello world works and with:host shows:Nice!

Hello World! rpi_pico/rp2040 Raspberry Pi Pico 1 2025-07-26
This section is about the original Raspberry Pi Pico board. The "1" was added retroactively to the name as more boards were released and "Raspberry Pi Pico" became a generic name for the brand.

This is a major design flaw, that the only easy default way is that you have to unplug, press bootsel, replug:

Blinks the on-board LED if the board has one.
Does not work on:
- Micro Bit: build fails
- Raspberry Pi Pico W: build works but does nothing because the LED is connected differently

Note that the LED blinker example does not work on the Raspberry Pi Pico W, see also: Run Zephyr on Raspberry Pi Pico W.
You can speed up the debug loop a little bit by plugging the Pi with BOOTSEL selected, and then running:This flashes the image, and immediately turns off BOOTSEL mode and runs the program.
west flash --runner uf2However to run again you need to unplug the USB and re-plug with BOOTSEL again so it is still painful.
Raspberry Pi Pico getting started 2025-07-26
Getting started on Ubuntu 25.04: see: Program Raspberry Pi Pico W with X.
Then ignore the other steps from the tutorial, as theese use the picozero package, which is broken with this error: github.com/raspberrypilearning/getting-started-with-the-pico/issues/57and uses picozero specific code. Rather, just use our examples from rpi-pico-w.

Exascale hypothesis 2025-07-26
The "exascale hypothesis" is a name made up by Ciro Santilli to refer to the hypothesis that the real-time human brain simulation becomes possible at exascale computing.
It is a simple extrapolation from the number of synapses in the human brain () times the number of times each neuron fires per second.
