pico-rtic-example

Example project for Raspberry Pi PICO that uses rp-rs/rp2040-hal/rp-pico rtic and rp2040-monotonic and defmt

Based on rp2040-project-template, cortex-m-quickstart, and rp-pico rtic example. See also defmt-app-template

Other examples of pico + rtic, by kalkyl here Generic (but somewhat out of date as of now) RTIC examples here Teensy has some good RTIC Examples here

Hardware Setup

• Program a Raspberry Pi PICO to be a CMSIS-DAP probe using DapperMime
  • Download from DapperMime Releases
  • Install onto the PICO you'll use as the probe
• Connect the probe PICO to the PICO you'll be programming
  • digikey guide covers this well, though you don't need to connect the UART between the devices.
  • in short:

Probe PICO	PICO to be programmed
VSYS	VSYS
GND	GND
GP2	SWCLK
GP3	SWDIO

Software Setup

• Rust

  • Install rustup
  • rustup self update - update rustup
  • rustup update stable - update rust
  • rustup target add thumbv6m-none-eabi - add cortex m0 compilation target for cross-compiling

• Rust Tools

  • cargo install flip-link - linker to enable flip-link
  • cargo install probe-run - run using probe (default, configured runner in .cargo/config.toml)
  • cargo install elf2uf2-rs --locked - build uf2 files (configure runner in .cargo/config.toml)
  • probe-rs (not currently working; don't use)
    • cargo install --force --git https://github.com/probe-rs/probe-rs probe-rs-debugger

• VS Code

  • Install VS Code
  • Extensions:
    • rust-analyzer
    • PIO ASM Syntax Highlighting

• Rust helper commands (only used to follow cortex_m_quickstart, used to build this example; not needed)

  • cargo install cargo-edit
  • cargo install cargo-generate

Running

cargo run

That's about it!
