Hello,
I'm looking for a way to display the Pico W board info e.g. version, firmware, etc.
Is there a function available so I can print it in the console ?
If it is connected to a linux system (such as a 'Flagship' RPi board running RasPiOS) then dmesg gives you some information including a serial number.
Using the usb REPL from any suitable workstation gives you a lot of 'signature' information when the device is Reset.
Comparative examples below from an RPi Pico W and an RPi Pico2 W.
