<![CDATA[Upload Code or Project with external USB to UART Interface]]>I would like to know if anyone already tried this setup described in the documentation to upload code/project with the Pymakr extension.
Does it work only for firmware update or also for REPL and files/project upload?

Boot loader mode is used for direct flash access as part of flash erase or firmware upload.

Just in case you do not succeed with pymakr: you do not need it. You can use any terminal emulator for a REPL prompt, and you can use tools like rshell, pyboard.py for code upload via USB, or, what I do, any ftp client like Filezilla for uploading code via ftp.
