OPTION LCDPANEL CONSOLE 1' I use mmcc from mmedit as a console which gets no mention but is good... for me anyway! with lcdpanel what I type in mmcc shows on hdmi and what I type on usb keyboard appears on hdmi and in mmcc if running same time.
I'll wait til sorted. cheers, stan

OPTION LCDPANEL
CONSOLE [font [, fc [,bc]]]
 Configures the VGA display for use as the console output.
The arguments are optional but if supplied must be numbers, 'font' is the
default font, 'fc' is the default foreground colour, 'bc' is the default
background colour.
The default (after first flashing the firmware) is:
OPTION LCDPANEL CONSOLE 1, RGB(white), RGB(black)

Hi Peter,
Is overclocking above 378000 no longer supported?
I have just upgraded my portable LCD unit, which used to reliably run at 416000, but that is now rejected, as is a slight extra overclock of 380000, which this unit would have been easily capable.
Regards, Kevin.

well in earlier versions lcdconsole was on by default but now it's not. and if turned on it stays on when prog ends but on power off/power on lcdconsole is off.
not saying anything wrong just different and can't remember which version it happened.
great support for pico2, I can't find your ain 2.5 times faster post .stan

without lcdconsole on by default it's not a boot to basic as no display ,well black, usb keyboard works but not on screen
so type run don't show but prog runs

delete this as lcdconsole does continue after power down. cntrl + c and edit mode usb kb, sorry

I've just tested HDMIUSB version. Load clear_flash.uf2 to get a clean start then load RC7 and the HDMI display comes up immediately AND after any power-cycle.  
It won't come up on an Olimex board until you do OPTION RESET OLIMEX as that board uses different pins for the HDMI.
The only way for it not to come up is to run OPTION LCDPANEL NOCONSOLE

Max CPU speed is 420MHz for RP2040 PicoMite and 378Mhz for RP2350 PicoMite. Of course VGA, WEB and HDMI versions are different.

Sorry should have said, this is a RP2040 unit that I built about a year ago, has always been good to overclock to at least 416MHz, but apparently won't now do even 380MHz?

my bad. you said please test existing code for pico2 and someones code,rocks13 uses Option LCDPANEL NOCONSOLE. doh.
Max CPU speed is 420MHz for RP2040 PicoMite and 378Mhz for RP2350 PicoMite. Of course VGA, WEB and HDMI versions are different.
got a 2040 and ili 9xxx 5" display and 420MHz for RP2040 works
2350 vga works 378Mhz
hdmi 31500khz 2350
but pico 2 runs 50% faster than 2040. just thinking for ili9xxx then pico2040 at 420000khz or 2350 at 378000khz.

  Quote  why previous options persist?
Peter has mentioned several times, an automatic clear-flash only happens if the new firmware is sufficiently different to cause the existing program or options to be interpreted incorrectly.

Another cause for automatic clear-flash is when the size of program memory, flash slots or A: changes, such as changing from LCD to VGA etc.

so when a new flash and previous options persist it,s ok? if not what happens?

Hi Peter,
Is it possible to make it so that information about the device MM.INFO(DEVICE) is displayed immediately upon system startup?
Somehow like this:

You can autorun, with this:

SUB MM.STARTUP
PRINT MM.INFO(DEVICE)
END SUB

:)


Or pop it into your Library.

These firmwares for different chips Pico1 (RP2040) and Pico2 (RP2350A) can be glued into one common firmware
PicoMite_RP2040_RP2350A_V6.00.00RC8.uf2
PicoMiteVGA_RP2040_HG2350A_V6.00.00RC8.uf2
using the Linux command
CAT file2.uf2 >> file1.uf2

or Windows
COPY /b file1.uf2 + file2.uf2 result.uf2

Warning: When writing the first firmware from the combined file to Pico, the OS may see a write error, since the chip has been flashed, but the file copying has not been completed completely.

And BTW Peter,
is it possible to make it so that when the system starts, the greeting displays the name of the chip on which the system is running.

It is even possible to make a command that informs about the CPU name.
MM.INFO(CPU)

Best regards, javavi

Been meaning to do it for some time so you prompted me to get round to it. No version change - still RC8

I apologize if I missed anything.
I'm just compiling firmware from the latest available sources for my non-standard hardware.
