Save The Program; Binary Information - Raspberry Pi RP2040 Getting Started

Getting started with Raspberry Pi Pico

Save the program

Save allows you to save a range of memory or a program or the whole of flash from the device to a BIN file or a UF2 file.
$ picotool help save
SAVE:
Save the program / memory stored in flash on the device to a file.
SYNOPSYS:
picotool save [-p] [--bus <bus>] [--address <addr>] <filename> [-t <type>]
picotool save -a [--bus <bus>] [--address <addr>] <filename> [-t <type>]
picotool save -r <from> <to> [--bus <bus>] [--address <addr>] <filename> [-t <type>]
OPTIONS:
Selection of data to save
Source device selection
File to save to
For example,
$ sudo picotool info

Binary Information

Binary information is machine-locatable and generally machine-consumable. I say generally because anyone can
include any information, and we can tell it from ours, but it is up to them whether they make their data self-describing.
Binary Information
-p, --program
Save the installed program only. This is the default
-a, --all
Save all of flash memory
-r, --range
Save a range of memory; note that the range is expanded to 256 byte boundaries
<from>
The lower address bound in hex
<to>
The upper address bound in hex
--bus <bus>
Filter devices by USB bus number
--address <addr>
Filter devices by USB device address
<filename>
The file name
-t <type>
Specify file type (uf2 | elf | bin) explicitly, ignoring file extension
