 ===== Installation =====
-Installation of the Micropython usually involves flashing firmware, specific for a microcontroller, that contains a Python interpreter and becomes de-facto a middleware between hardware and developer used with means of scripts. Micropython scripts can be executed inline via terminal (REPL), or a file with a source code (usually named ''main.py'') can be uploaded to the drive's root folder exposed via USB connection by the MCUs firmware.

 The installation procedure is specific to the hardware platform and sometimes differs slightly from flashing C++-based solutions or burning an OS, as in the case of the RP2040. The main steps to prepare a working environment are presented below:
   * Download a Micropython binary image suitable for your hardware.
   * Switch the MCU into the bootloader mode that exposes a flash drive: in the case of the RP2040, the easiest way is to hold down the //Bootsel// button and power on the device while holding.
-  * Move the firmware file into the flash drive; the device will flash and reboot.
+  * Move the firmware file into the flash drive; the device will flash the file to the memory and reboot.
   * Connect to the serial port exposed.

 IDEs use those features to simplify development and enable remote code authoring and execution.
+Sample Micropython development toolchain installation with Thonny IDE one can find on the web ((https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/pro-micro-rp2040-hookup-guide/examples-micropython)). This guide presents development using RP2040.
