PlatformIO development & debug environment for the 2040 microcontroller

Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 - PlatformIO ( Pico-SDK & Arduino )

A few words in the beginning

• Version: 1.1.1 The project is a work in progress, there may be bugs...
• Look here, if there is something new
• This project is based on PICO-SDK
• PICO-SDK ( the file organization has been restructured to be flexible and have a fast compilation )
• • default SDK 1.4.0 ( backup 1.3.1 )
• • Support and Pico W ( WiFi ) board - not tested
• Frameworks
• • Baremetal ( pico-sdk, C/C++ ) baremetal is just a name for pico-sdk here
• • Arduino ( in progress... )
• Debug ( in progress... )
• • PICOPROBE ( Windows for now )
• • CMSIS-DAP ( Windows for now )
• Libraries FreeRTOS, FatFS, littlefs ... etc
• Basic File System ( RAM disk, FLASH disk, SD card )
• READ WIKI
• Framework code
• Baremetal Examples
• Arduino Examples
• Video demo - Arduino - TFT ST7789
• Systems support
• • Windows, Linux, Darwin (if someone is editing the platform they have to take this into account)

Notes

• Please Re-Install the platform. The project is a work in progress and the platform is installed from here...
• I am in Home-Office, it's hard for me to test hardwares as SPI, I2C ... etc

Install Platform

Note: be sure git is installed

• PIO Home > Platforms > Advanced Installation
• paste https://github.com/ec-solutions/ez-pico
• INSTALL

Uninstall ( fast ) ... Re-Install ( do this and Install again )

• In directory C:\Users\USER_NAME.platformio\platforms
  • delete folder wizio-pico ( builders )
• In directory C:\Users\USER_NAME.platformio\packages
  • delete folder framework-wizio-pico ( sources )
  • delete folder toolchain-gccarmnoneeabi (compiler, may not be deleted )
  • delete folder tool-wizio-pico ( tools, picoasm )

Baremetal - New Project

PlatformIO -> Home -> New

• Enter Project Name - Board search 'WizIO-PICO' boards - Select Baremetal
• Click BUILD and you will have basic project ( from template )
• For CPP project, rename main.c to main.cpp ( if you delete main file, builder will create new main.c as template )
• Connect Pico as Mass Storage Device
• Open platformio.ini and edit your settings
• BUILD / UPLOAD
• READ WIKI - BAREMETAL

Arduino - New Project

PlatformIO -> Home -> New

• Enter Project Name - Board search 'WizIO-PICO' boards - Select Arduino
• Connect Pico as Mass Storage Device
• Open platformio.ini and edit your settings
• BUILD / UPLOAD
• READ WIKI - ARDUINO

NOTE

IF PICO_STDIO_USB is used, the Uploader will try ro reset Pico to boot-uf2 mode without button and USB cable remove
