Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect triggers notification every time I upload a new sketch on MacOS

[LazaroFilm]

The following notification pops up every time I upload a sketch to the Nano RP2040 Connect. Worse, they are persistent, and they stack up into a column on the side of my screen until I close each one individually.

This is likely due to the way RP2040 works by opening a drive to transfer the compiled file then resets, cutting the connection without properly ejecting. Maybe there would be a way to add a command to eject the drive prior to reset?
I'm using Arduino IDE 2.0.3

Hi @LazaroFilm
since our upload strategy for rp2040 uses picoboot interface and Mass storage is not needed we could "simply" change https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-mbed/blob/master/variants/NANO_RP2040_CONNECT/variant.cpp#L94 last parameter to 1 (see

ArduinoCore-mbed/cores/arduino/mbed/targets/TARGET_RASPBERRYPI/TARGET_RP2040/pico-sdk/rp2_common/pico_bootrom/include/pico/bootrom.h

Lines 146 to 149 in 740d4ac

	* \param disable_interface_mask value to control exposed interfaces
	* - 0 To enable both interfaces (as per a cold boot)
	* - 1 To disable the USB Mass Storage Interface
	* - 2 To disable the USB PICOBOOT Interface

Unfortunately, if we apply this change, the board will stop working on Windows due to drivers incompatibilities, so we can't do it for everyone.
But if you are sure you'll never use the board on Windows feel free to change that line and get rid of the notifications 🙂

Stop my bug && make it incompatible with windows‽ that's two birds with one stone!
I'll definitely do that. If I need to have it work with Windows, I can always re-flash it with the 0 value.

Note: I actually tried it and it does work! I had to restart Arduino IDE after modifying the core. I was worried about cached but I guess it found the change in the file and recompiled.

Hello @LazaroFilm
As I'm starting with Arduino IDE and the Nano RP2040 Connect I'm not sure of the process you followed to make this change. Would you be kind enough to tell me? I'm a developer, no problem with tech, it's just I'm not familiar here. MacBook Pro 16" running Ventura. Thanks!!
