There are four .uf2 files to pick from.

⚠️ Those marked with-badger-os contain a full filesystem image that will overwrite both the firmware and filesystem of your Badger:

• pimoroni-badger2040-vX.X.X-micropython-with-badger-os.uf2
• pimoroni-badger2040w-vX.X.X-micropython-with-badger-os.uf2

The regular builds just include the firmware, and leave your files alone:

• pimoroni-badger2040-vX.X.X-micropython.uf2
• pimoroni-badger2040w-vX.X.X-micropython.uf2
