On Seeed Studio XIAO RP2350 page there is a note about incompatibility related to flash chip they use (found after struggling for a few hours...) and that they work with MicroPython team to solve this issue.

Assessment

S Sonnet · high

Both items concern the Seeed XIAO RP2350, but they address different aspects. PR #16299 adds board definition files and initial hardware support (LED, RGB). Issue #16391 specifically reports a flash chip incompatibility that prevents the board from booting — the board reboots after flashing but never enumerates USB. The PR's testing covers only LED Blink and RGB, with no mention of flash configuration or boot reliability. The PR may be a prerequisite for full board support but does not include any flash chip compatibility fix.

Suggested action

Keep issue #16391 open. Reference PR #16299 as related context (board definitions being added), but note that the flash chip boot failure requires a separate fix targeting flash configuration — likely a follow-up PR that properly configures the flash chip Seeed uses on this board.
