Raspberry Pi Pico

Raspberry Pi Pico, the new flexible microcontroller board from Raspberry Pi. Board SpecificationsRaspberry 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 Host and Device support Low-power sleep and dormant modes Drag & 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 IO (PIO) state machines for custom peripheral support   DocumentationDocumentation for the Raspberry Pi Pico board and the RP2040 microcontroller: Raspberry Pi Pico DatasheetAn RP2040-based microcontroller board RP2040 DatasheetA microcontroller by Raspberry Pi Hardware design with the RP2040Using the RP2040 microcontroller to build boards and products Getting Started with Raspberry Pi PicoC/C++ development with the Pico and other RP2040-based microcontroller boards Pico C/C++ SDKLibraries and tools for C/C++ development on the RP2040 microcontroller Pico Python SDKA MicroPython environment for the RP2040 microcontroller The API level Doxygen documentation for the Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ SDK is available as a micro-site.UtilitiesWhat is on your Pico?If you have forgotten what has been programmed into your Raspberry Pi Pico, and the program was built using our Pico C/C++ SDK, it will usually have a name and other useful information embedded into the binary. You can use the Picotool command line utility to find out these details. Full instructions on how to use Picotool to do this are available in our 'getting started' documentation.Picotool repoDebugging using another Raspberry Pi PicoIt is possible to use one Raspberry Pi Pico to debug another Pico. This is possible via picoprobe, an application that allows a Pico to act as a USB → SWD and UART converter. This makes it easy to use a Pico on non-Raspberry Pi platforms such as Windows, Mac, and Linux computers where you don’t have GPIOs to connect directly to your Pico. Full instructions on how to use Picoprobe to do this are available in our 'getting started' documentation.Download UF2 file See the codeResetting Flash memoryPico's BOOTSEL mode lives in read-only memory inside the RP2040 chip, and can't be overwritten accidentally. No matter what, if you hold down the BOOTSEL button when you plug in your Pico, it will appear as a drive onto which you can drag a new UF2 file. There is no way to brick the board through software. However, there are some circumstances where you might want to make sure your Flash memory is empty. You can do this by dragging and dropping a special UF2 binary onto your Pico when it is in mass storage mode.Download UF2 file See the code
