Unable to flash Pico

Tried to update Pico from v96 to v97 thru IDE (able to Flash Espruino, WiFi) but receive "Connection Failed" with the Pico. I was previously able too upgrade to v96 but something has happened in between 96 and 97. Anybody experienced this also? Used the same process as always which worked as expected.

If you flashed a Original or WiFi beforehand and then immediately flashed a Pico, the IDE may have assumed you were still using one of them and updated the wrong firmware?

Perhaps you could try restarting the IDE and flashing - then it should realise it doesn't know what the board is and ask you which board you want to update?

...in other words, a disconnect and reconnect aren't sufficient to detect a device change, or replace components loaded specifically for a device when that device first connected.
