pinout is wrong about pico.pinout.xyz HOT 5 OPEN

Wait, we're more correct than the official documentation? NEVER! 😆

A little asterisk on unlisted functions and a footnote might work. Though I'm apprehensive to add too much clutter.

I just checked, and the diagram at https://pico.pinout.xyz/ is in fact correct - if you look at the table on page 13 of https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/rp2040/rp2040-datasheet.pdf you can see that the "errors" you list above are actually correct.

The pinout diagram in https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/pico/pico-datasheet.pdf (and at https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/raspberry-pi-pico.html#pinout-and-design-files ) chooses to omit the UART1 TX function from GP20 because GP23 isn't user-accessible on the Pico board, and so the "full set" of UART pins (TX, RX, CTS, RTS) on GP20-GP23 isn't user-accessible on the Pico. And similar logic explains the SPI pins you mention too.

It's not quite the same thing that you're asking, but see also raspberrypi/pico-feedback#193

This is a real pity and confuses users. The official datasheet does not list CTS/RTS at all, so omitting these pins does not make sense to me.

So maybe adding a note to https://pico.pinout.xyz/ might help? E.g. "This pinout also shows available functions not listed in the Pico Datasheet"?

One person's "more correct" is another person's "overly verbose" 😉 🤷
