💖 REFORM-MCU-TOOL 💖

okay bestie, quick vibe check: this is the reform-mcu-tool page from the User Commands corner of the manual, and it's literally all about managing microcontrollers. yes. tiny computers. inside your computer. we love that for us 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

reform-mcu-tool — manage microcontrollers 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

here's the whole entire vibe, no gatekeeping:

usage: reform-mcu-tool [-h] {bootsel,reset,list} ...

so what IS this thing? it's the Tool to interact with Microcontrollers used by MNT Research in Reform projects. like, that's the whole job. it's giving "I have one specific niche and I'm slaying at it" 💅

right now (as in currently, not like hypothetically) it can talk to:

  • the pocket sysctl firmware 🎀
  • the RP2040 bootrom ⭐

two besties. two whole firmware situations. she's versatile.

🧚 positional arguments 🧚

these are the moves you can pull, and you gotta pick one:

  • {bootsel,reset,list} — Action to execute. that's it, that's the whole selection. choose your fighter ✨

and here's what each one actually does, no cap:

  • bootsel — Reboot MCU into BOOTSEL mode 🥾
  • reset — Reboot MCU into application mode 🔄
  • list — List USB devices matching known VID/PIDs 🔍

💅 options 💅

  • -h, --help — show this help message and exit. the classic. the icon. when in doubt, ask for help and then dip 🙈

🌈 Example usage 🌈

the receipts, fr fr. first up — to reboot the pocket sysctl into the bootrom:

$ sudo reform-mcu-tool bootsel pocket-sysctl-1.0

and to reset the RP2040 bootrom back into the application:

$ sudo reform-mcu-tool reset rp2040-boot
heads up bestie, both of these are rocking sudo 👑 — that's not decoration, that's the actual command as written. copy it exactly, don't get cute with it.

and that's the page!! 🫶 no notes, ate, periodt.

this was reform-mcu-tool version 1.71, dated December 2025 — mwah, go flash something responsibly 💖✨🎀
