I bought a Pinecil so I could run it off a battery. I really came to appreciate the excellent temperature control and rapid heating, and use it instead of my soldering station for jobs away from the bench.
I have felt absolutely no need to touch the firmware. I try to forget that it is more powerful than my first three personal computers combined. Plug in, turn on, get hot. It meets my needs and exceeded my expectations. I suppose I could run a website from it if I wanted to make a point but as long as it doesn't require wifi and phone home to verify the license and leak my biometric data I expect to use it until I wear it out.

Jlink is closed source.
Better use dirtyJTAG on an rp2040.

Why that over the debug probe firmware?

Agree RP2040 / RP2350 is great for debug and UART access! I wrote[0] about using picoprobe with this device as well.
I tried to use picoprobe to debug an nrf52 chip, it failed to even detect it.. All that’s officially supported is using it to debug a raspberry pi, and maybe if I added 100Ohm resistors to the lines I would have had better luck, but.. alas
