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.
