As if @gadgetoid Phil Howard doesn’t already have enough too do.
You can get stock, non Pimoroni images here,
MicroPython - Python for microcontrollers
I have downloaded the new images for the Pico and Pico W, I haven’t actually flashed a Pico with one just yet.
Possibly working Pimoroni builds of v1.22.1 (the bugfix release of v1.22.0) are available here: CI: Bump MicroPython to v1.22.1. by Gadgetoid · Pull Request #892 · pimoroni/pimoroni-pico · GitHub
I haven’t tried any of these yet - stuck in Raspberry Pi Python world - so any feedback is welcomed and appreciated.
WARNING: This build changes the LittleFS filesystem version, back up your Python files before updating!
Thanks Phil, I saw that pull request the other day. I like watching that page for sneak peaks. ;) I had planned to download one or two of those images to play with. My Pi 5 arrived and I decided to play around with it instead. =-)
I flashed
pimoroni-picow-c9b0eaad97abda8a223887316e2dbb36bfe9b517-micropython.uf2
To my Inventor 2040 W. The servo test ran just fine. I have a Mono OLED and Rotary Encoder connected on i2c. They also worked just fine.

And a blank display.
I have to do a reset to get it back online.
