Differences to earlephilhower/arduino-pico

[rynbrd]

How is this different from earlephilhower/arduino-pico?

It appear as if it's based on Earle's work but it is not forked nor does it point that out.

I have also noticed one problem with that - fork kept the same name "package_rp2040_index.json" so one can't import both to Arduino IDE 1.x.x in the same time. This is just inconvenience but would you consider renaming it?

I experienced that as well. It's also not possible to use an #ifdef to check if you're building against a Longan board because they use a dash in the board name, so the -D options passed to the compiler are all ignored.

I tried building using earlephilhower/arduino-pico. One major difference is the pin definitions are different, specifically for SPI0, so you can't communicate with the MCP2515.

I have managed to workaround the problem by putting a renamed copy of the file in my own github repo and using the link to that in Arduino IDE.

The other thing is that uf2conv.py is somehow old and fails to find the device on my system (Centos 8). I just overridden it with the one from original lib and it works now.
