---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the usage line, no cap, copy it exactly:

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

this is the Tool to interact with Microcontrollers that MNT Research uses in their Reform projects 💅 and like, it's not a gossip account, it only talks to two things right now: the pocket sysctl firmware, and the RP2040 bootrom. iconic duo honestly 👑

---

✨ positional arguments: ✨

okay so these are the main character moves you can pull:

• {bootsel,reset,list} — Action to execute. literally just pick one bestie 🙈
• bootsel — Reboot MCU into BOOTSEL mode 🔥
• reset — Reboot MCU into application mode 🎀
• list — List USB devices matching known VID/PIDs 👀 yes we're snooping, but politely

---

💜 options: 💜

the little flags that save you:

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit 🫶

---

🌈 Example usage: 🌈

fr fr, here's how you actually do it:

To reboot the pocket sysctl into the bootrom:

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

To reset the RP2040 bootrom back into the application:

$ sudo reform-mcu-tool reset rp2040-boot

⭐ heads up: both examples use sudo, so yeah, bring your root energy 🔐
