Despite the serial ports being accessible, the device is not detected automatically:

% sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyS*
% ls -l /dev/ttyS*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root uucp 4, 64 20. Nov 16:39 /dev/ttyS0
[...]
crw-rw-rw- 1 root uucp 4, 95 20. Nov 15:05 /dev/ttyS31

Disabling "Micropico: Auto Connect" and setting "Micropico: Manual Com Device" to /dev/ttyS0 does show "Pico Connected", but then shows "Error entering raw repl", which means it did not actually connect.
