## What it is
Pupdate is a free C# utility for updating openFPGA cores, firmware, and related assets on the Analogue Pocket handheld. It runs as an interactive console menu or a command-line tool and can be placed directly on the SD card to manage the device.

## Use cases
- update all openFPGA cores on my Analogue Pocket
- download and install Pocket firmware updates
- fetch BIOS and ROM files from archive.org for Pocket cores
- manage Game Boy palettes and display modes on the Pocket
- pin specific core versions and skip unwanted cores
- set up image packs and Pocket Extras on an SD card

## When to choose
- you own an Analogue Pocket and want automated core/firmware/asset updates
- you want a single tool to configure display modes, palettes, and instance JSON
- you prefer an interactive menu or scriptable CLI for SD card maintenance

## When to avoid
- you don't own an Analogue Pocket or other openFPGA device
- you need a GUI application rather than a console tool
- you want to manage cores on non-Analogue FPGA hardware
