What problem

I wanted to use picoprobe for debuging Raspberry Pi pico as mentioned in Getting Started document.
So I tried build and use openocd as usual mentioned in Internet (and document):
$ openocd -f interface/picoprobe.cfg -f target/rp2040.cfg -s tcl
but, i got these error logs:

Error: Failed to open or find the device
Error: Can't find a picoprobe device! Please check device connections and permissions.

What I tried

I will write what i tried:

Hardware problem?

I think it is NOT hardware problems
I checked the connections and change USB-cable to another, but it doesnt got better.
(And I tried on other computer, but the tool couldn't go well)

Software problem?

For solving permission, I tried abobe-mentioned command with sudo like this:
sudo openocd -f interface/picoprobe.cfg -f target/rp2040.cfg -s tcl -c "bindto 0.0.0.0"
but I got same error.
the environment is here:

  • macOS Monterey 12.6 (macbook pro 2017, Intel core-i7)
  • OpenOCD (cloned on rp2040 branch, commit on [228ede4])
  • Picoprobe(cloned on master, commit on [b1799bf]])

Conclusion

So I think the tool cannot run well on macOS.
Is there anyone who had same problem like me?

thanks,

You did upload the Picoprobe UF2 from here, https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/raspberry-pi-pico.html#debugging-using-another-raspberry-pi-pico, to the Pico you were using as a debugger?

No, I only tried clone picoprobe repos, and build and generates uf2 file by myself.
Does it prefer to upload uf2 file which is downloaded from this site?

There's recently been some changes to Picoprobe https://github.com/raspberrypi/picoprobe/releases , so whilst we're getting all our ducks back in a row again, you might want to try the precompiled UF2 that @aallan has pointed to? 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for your advices!
I downloaded uf2 file from web-site, and tried to load it to pico.
Then it works well, and I can debug normally.
Good luck on your fixing.
