+== How to deploy to RP2040 without a debugging probe.
+
+Install link:https://github.com/JoNil/elf2uf2-rs[elf2uf2-rs] for converting the generated elf binary into a uf2 file.
+
+Configure the runner to use this tool, add this to `.cargo/config.toml`:
+[source,toml]
+----
+[target.'cfg(all(target_arch = "arm", target_os = "none"))']
+runner = "elf2uf2-rs --deploy --serial --verbose"
+----
+
+The command-line parameters `--deploy` will detect your device and upload the binary, `--serial` starts a serial connection. See the documentation for more info.
