If we want have this entry (which I don’t mind), I’d rather have it right before cargo run as this isn’t necessary to run the other steps.

For completeness I think the step should be included somewhere, but I don't feel strongly about the exact location so this change SGTM

Oh yes, on second reading it definitely flows better to have the step related to setting up the hardware happen right before the flashing step

Well, you could generate it using elf2uf2-rs and only have an RP2040 board and a usbcable :)

SGTM to switch to the lowest-barrier-to-entry hardware setup if you think new users would prefer that. I think I assumed Pico / Debug Probe / probe-rs because my reading of the README suggested that that is the most common and well-supported setup
LMK which combo you want the quickstart to cover. I can add a note along the lines of "another common combo is X; see this part of the README for more details"
Hello! I've seen YouTube videos use this template as a starting point. When visiting the repo I was surprised that there weren't prominent instructions for people who just want to set up a project quickly and don't want to read the full README. So here's my attempt to add those instructions!
