Raspberry PICO

Introduction

Raspberry Pi Pico is a low-cost, high-performance microcontroller board with flexible digital interfaces.

Key features include:

• RP2040 microcontroller chip designed by Raspberry Pi in the United Kingdom
• Dual-core Arm Cortex M0+ processor, flexible clock running up to 133 MHz
• 264KB of SRAM, and 2MB of on-board Flash memory
• Castellated module allows soldering direct to carrier boards
• USB 1.1 with device and host support

• Low-power sleep and dormant modes

• Drag-and-drop programming using mass storage over USB

• 26 × multi-function GPIO pins

• 2 × SPI, 2 × I2C, 2 × UART, 3 × 12-bit ADC, 16 × controllable PWM channels

• Accurate clock and timer on-chip

• Temperature sensor

• Accelerated floating-point libraries on-chip

• 8 × Programmable I/O (PIO) state machines for custom peripheral support

Supported compiler

Support GCC 6 and above compilers. CMake and Scons is needed.

Program firmware

Step 1: download pico sdk

pkgs --update

Step 2: generate necessary files

python ./tools/generate_files.py

Use PICO_TOOLCHAIN_PATH to specify the compilation toolchain location, for example:

env PICO_TOOLCHAIN_PATH=/opt/rt-gcc-arm-none-eabi/bin ./tools/generate_files.py
``

### Step 3: build

bash scons -c scons

**gcc version >= 6.x.x**

### Step 4: flash

scons generates a UF2 file:

![elf2uf2](figures/elf2uf2.png)

- Copy the rtthread-pico.uf2 file to the "RPI-RP2" disk
- Then led blink.

Or you can use the picotool by:

bash picotool load rtthread-pico.uf2 picotool reboot

## Running Result

The output information on serial port should be like this:
