Just contributing some knowledge about how to create the CircuitPython storage volume on macOS:
$ truncate -s 1M fat12.img
$ DEVICE=$(hdiutil attach -nomount -imagekey diskimage-class=CRawDiskImage fat12.img | awk '{print $1}')
$ diskutil info "$DEVICE" | grep -q "no file system" || echo "STOP NOW AVOID DATA LOSS"
$ sudo newfs_msdos -F 12 -S 512 "$DEVICE"
$ hdiutil detach "$DEVICE"
The resulting fat12.img
can be mounted like any other disk image. Unmount when you're done populating it, then run the simulator:
$ npm run start:circuitpython
> rp2040js@0.19.3 start:circuitpython
> tsx demo/micropython-run.ts --circuitpython
