1. Generate the initial fprime build cache

### Deploy onto the RP2040
1. Build the binary
```sh
fprime-util generate && fprime-util build -j20
fprime-util build -j20
```

1. Find your board's mount location
> For the next steps you'll need to know where your board is mounted. To find your board's mount location run `ls -lah /dev/tty*` for a list of all possible paths. On Linux and WSL your board's mount location will look like `/dev/ttyACM0`. On Mac your board's mount location will look like `/dev/tty.usbmodem101`.
1. Upload the firmware to the proves board over USB
> Don't forget to replace the board mount location after the `-p` flag
```sh
arduino-cli upload -v -b 115200 --fqbn rp2040:rp2040:rpipico -p /dev/ttyACM0 -i build-artifacts/rpipico/BroncoDeployment/bin/BroncoDeployment.uf2
```
2. Move the binary from 'build-artifacts/rpipico/BroncoDeployment/bin/BroncoDeployment' into the Proves board over USB after it has been intialized in boot loader mode (Press both Boot loader and Reset button at the same time). This should reinit the board automatically and will run the deployment.

3. Run GDS over serial:

```
> **Note:** Be sure to replace '--uart-device /dev/ttyACM0' to the proper port you connect to the board!
