Getting started with OTA sketch updates from PlatformIO

[ledereyes]

Hello,
sorry if this is not the right place to ask this, but I am trying to update the sketch on my RP2350 directly from PlatformIO via WiFi. I already made myself familiar with the ArduinoOTA library, but I am missing the part how I can send a new version of my sketch to the board from PlatformIO.

My current ini is:

[env:rpipico2w]
platform = https://github.com/maxgerhardt/platform-raspberrypi.git#76ecf3c7e9dd4503af0331154c4ca1cddc4b03e5
board = rpipico2w
framework = arduino
board_build.core = earlephilhower

Thanks for any help!

The critical part is to configure the upload protocol as "espota" (yes it's heavily borrowed from the ESP8266/32 OTA tool). Pretty much always you want to have two environments: One to upload via USB, one to upload via OTA.

The "arduino-ota" example in the platform demonstrates exactly that.
