CircuitPython Support for Pimoroni Tiny 2350

Support

Yes, that title is correct. CircuitPython support for the Pimoroni Tiny 2350!

Now I did have to clone the the latest development version of the Adafruit CircuitPython github repository locally, ensure that my python3 and pip3 installs were up to date, and basically follow the online instructions from Adafruit:

cd ./ports/raspberrypi
make BOARD=pimoroni_tiny2350
cp ./build-pimoroni_tiny2350/firmware.uf2 /media/ggeoffre/RP2350/

But in the end, I had CircuitPython up and running on my Pimoroni Tiny 2350. I have been running it through its paces, I was able to cycle the onboard RGB LED via PWM, and I have even been using a few of my I2C modules that I have acquired.

What you can also do: run the build in the cloud. Follow the instructions in .devcontainer/Readme.md. It takes only a few minutes and you don’t have to set up and maintain a development environment. And it works across all architectures.
