Picoprobe allows a Pico / RP2040 to be used as USB -> SWD and UART bridge. This means it can be used as a debugger and serial console for another Pico.
To complete the following instructions we recommend to open up a MSYS2 command pront in x64 mode.
-
Configure SDK pico path and:
set PICO_SDK_PATH=C:\Develop\RaspberryProjects\pico-sdk -
Set the route path of Python 3 you can download it here. Note: don't use installer instead download .zip then you can put in in the root of your preference.
set path=%path%;C:\Python3\python-3.9.0-embed-amd64 -
Clone picoprobe repository make it.
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/raspberrypi/picoprobe.git cd picoprobe mkdir build cd build Cmake -G “Unix Makefiles” .. make
Picoprobe documentation can be found in the Pico Getting Started Guide. See "Appendix A: Using Picoprobe".
