The nomagic probe is a firmware for the RaspberryPi Pico board that provides a gdbserver interface for debugging other boards. That is the functionality of the picoprobe and OpenOCD combined. It is also similar to the Black Magic Firmware.
It does not use external libraries. Therefore all code is in this library, no dependencies!
No dynamic memory allocation, no malloc!
-
USB CDCD(serial port) gdb server
-
USB MSCD(thumb drive) for configuration files.
-
support for SWD according to ARM ADIv5.0, ARM ADIv5.1, ARM ADIv5.2, ARM ADIv6.0.
Additional documentation can be created
make doc
the created documentation is then located in the bin/doxygen/ folder.
The firmware can be build using make. The generated Files will be placed in the bin folder. For details try
make help
for this to work you (obviously) need to have make installed. Depending on the target you are building for you might need to have additionaltools installed:
-
To build for ARM Cortex-M Targets you need GCC ARM Embedded
-
to flash and program you need OpenOCD
-
to create an *.uf2 file you need elf2uf2
-
for automatic generated documentation you need Doxygen
The pico has 40 pins (1..40) Numbered counter clock wise starting at the USB connector.
