💖 PICOTOOL-OTP-WHITE-LABEL 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for picotool-otp-white-label — yeah it's a whole mouthful, it lives in the User Commands section of the manual, and honestly? it ate. this is the one where you go set the white labelling values in OTP. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

picotool-otp-white-label — set the white labelling values in OTP 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

picotool otp white-label -s <row> <filename> [device-selection]

that's the whole vibe right there. one row, one file, and optionally a lil device-selection moment. periodt. ✨

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • <filename> — a JSON file holding your white labelling values. that's it, that's the file, no cap. 🍓

💜 Target device selection

this whole lil section is about which device you're talking to, bestie. pick your fave. 🌈

  • --bus <bus> — filter devices by USB bus number 🔌
  • --address <addr> — filter devices by USB device address ✨
  • --vid <vid> — filter by vendor id 👑
  • --pid <pid> — filter by product id 🎀
  • --ser <ser> — filter by serial number 🔍
  • -f, --force — force a device that isn't in BOOTSEL mode but is running compatible code to reset so the command can actually go through. and listen: after executing the command (unless the command itself is a reboot, iykyk) the device will be rebooted back to application mode. so it comes back, it's fine. 🫶
  • -F, --force-no-reboot — same energy as above, force a device not in BOOTSEL mode but running compatible code to reset so the command can be executed. BUT — and this is the plot twist — after executing the command (unless the command itself is a reboot) the device will be left connected and accessible to picotool, but without the USB drive mounted. no drive. just vibes. 💀
okay real talk: -f and -F are not the same, so please don't mix them up. one reboots your device back to app mode, the other leaves it connected with no USB drive mounted. read twice, force once. 🙈

and that's the tea, bestie 💖 go forth and label those whites. this was picotool 2.2.0-a4+dfsg, dated December 2025, and that's the footer energy, mwah. 🎀🦋✨
