There are four .uf2 files to pick from.

:warning: 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
