### mta1-usb-v1-programmer: RPi 2040 toolchain
## MTA1-USB-V1 and TP-1 programming board firmware
These tools are needed to build the programmer firmware for the

The programmer boards are running a custom firmware developed by
Blinkinlabs. The source code for this firnware is available on

To update the firmware on the programmer board, either build the file "main.uf2", or download
the pre built file to your host computer. Then do the following:
To update the firmware on the programmer board, either build the file

Then do the following:
1. Disconnect the programming board from the host computer
2. Press and hold the "BOOTSEL" button on the RPi2040 sub board on the programming board
2. Press and hold the "BOOTSEL" button on the RPi2040 sub board on
the programming board
3. Reconnect the programming board to the host computer
4. Release the "BOOTSEL" button after connecting the programming board to the host. The board should now appear to the host as a USB connected storage device
5. Open the storage device and drop the firmware file ("main.uf2") into the storage device

The programmer will update its firmware with the file and restart itself. After reboot the storage device will automatically be disconnected.

## CH552 USB to Serial firmware
The USB to Serial firmware runs on the CH552 microcontroller, and
provides a USB CDC profile which should work with the default drivers
on all major operating systems.
