Yeah, there's definitely something going on with this.

GPS initialization issue possibly based on that last line. @jp-bennett do you have a pico based board?

[jp-bennett]

No, but I'd agree, it's something odd with trying to power up GPS. Which may or may not exist. What is the general setup for a pico board? Is there a Lora HaT?

Waveshare LoRa module https://meshtastic.org/docs/hardware/devices/raspberry-pi/

[thebentern]

There's also the RAK RP2040 based core but don't know if it's affected.

I'm going to say yes

We dropped the check for GPS_SERIAL_NUM during init. That chip probably doesn't have a serial port to try to bring up. I'll open a PR just to try to fix this in a bit.

[NickDolfin]

I have a Waveshare RP2040-Plus 4MB coupled to a Waveshare SX1262 LoRa Node Module for a Raspberry Pi Pico.

No gps at the moment. Perhaps in the future.

[jp-bennett]

In theory #2817 fixes this hang.

[rcarteraz]

In theory #2817 fixes this hang.

I’ll test it

[NickDolfin]

Nope, 2.2.8 is not working.

I tried to capture the output:

Green led is still on.

[NickDolfin]

@jp-bennett Yes, you are right. I was too fast and downloaded the wrong one.

Now 2.2.8 is working.

Many thanks for the fast fix.
