   We recently did a box that uses the Raspberry Pi RP2040 cpu chip. The   
   Pico board has two pushbuttons, reset and boot. We have a single push   
   button accessed from outside our box, with a toothpick or something. A   
   1-second push is reset and a 10-second push is boot, where the thing   
   goes into USB memory stick mode, for code upgrades.   
      
   A user can put a sticker over the pushbutton hole if he wants. Some   
   do.
