I have tested the firmware file on this board and works fine.

Hi, we need an allocated PID for this, ideally from WeAct itself (if it has a VID), or from https://github.com/raspberrypi/usb-pid. Failing that, it would be from https://pid.codes/ . USB_PID = 000F is the PID for the Pico 2. See https://learn.adafruit.com/how-to-add-a-new-board-to-circuitpython/customizing-the-board-files#usb-vid-and-pid-3137314, including the pointer to the FAQ for this.

How to find VID And PIDs?

I gone through those links still not sure how find these values.

I have/own this board, can you point me how to find these IDs?

I got these values from device properties.

The 0x000F PID is for the UF2 bootloader, but is not for when the board is running CircuitPython. You can't find the proper PID unless the manufacturer or someone else has registered a PID already. See https://learn.adafruit.com/how-to-add-a-new-board-to-circuitpython/frequently-asked-questions#faq-3130481.

I don't think WeAct has its own VID (vendor ID). They could ask Raspberry Pi for a PID (product ID) by going to https://github.com/raspberrypi/usb-pid. Or you or they could ask for one from https://pid.codes. Adafruit used to issue PID's to third parties but we stopped doing that.

I'm not from WeAct, So not sure,
I can see other boards from Weact then thought of adding this board.
What are the next steps to add this board?

[dhalbert]

There are some non-USB Espressif CircuitPython boards from WeAct, and there are two older WeAct RP2040 boards that we provided PID's for. But we are not doing that now. You could contact WeAct and see if they want to register boards at https://github.com/raspberrypi/usb-pid. Otherwise you yourself could register the board at https://pid.codes/.
