     @mntmn could we distribute this using LVFS and deploy it using fwupd? We have some existing support for uf2 updates, including the Raspberry Pi RP2. e.g. https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/tree/main/plugins/uf2

     I've got huge respect for what you're doing btw.

     @mntmn I tried flashing the sysctl.uf2 onto a random RP2 I had here (which worked) -- but the million dollar question -- how do I get firmware version of the RPi device when in "runtime" not UF2 mode? i.e. how does fwupd know that the update needs to be deployed?

     @hughsie yep, this needs to be solved on our end, i'd say by customizing some info in the USB descriptor

     @mntmn absolutely -- ideally using a custom VID/PID and then using the bcdREV as the version number. If you can do that then I can do all the other bits.

     Would you mind sending me the info in https://lvfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/apply.html please -- and and I can set you up with a {secret} LVFS account you can use for end-to-end testing.
