Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 - Arduino IDE

A few words in the beginning

• Version: 1.0.0 The project is a work in progress and is very beta version - there may be bugs...
• This project not an official platform and is based on pico-sdk
• Systems support
• • windows ( for now )
• • linux & darwin LATER ... I need 300 Mb free space for compilers

Notes

• I am in Home-Office, it's hard for me to test hardwares as SPI, I2C ... etc

Install

Note: be sure git is installed

• Arduino -> File -> Preferences -> Additional Boards Manager URL
• paste https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Wiz-IO/wizio-arduino-pico/main/package_wizio.pico_index.json
• Arduino -> Tools -> Board -> Boards Manager -> Find: WizIO Pico by ... Install
• Now, go to folder C:\Users\ USER \AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\WizIO\hardware\pico\1.0.0

and clone this git

• Delete files from \1.0.0 folder and execute
• [ git clone https://github.com/Wiz-IO/wizio-arduino-pico . ] <--- with the dot
• Arduino -> Tools -> Board -> Select board ... and make fun

Update ( if need ... the project is a work in progress )

• Go to: C:\Users\ USER \AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\WizIO\hardware\pico\1.0.0
• execute [ git pull ]
• or goto point clone this git ( the best variant )

STDIO ( only one will work )

• Arduino -> Tools -> SDTDIO -> Select
• • PICO_STDIO_ARDUINO - in code Serial.begin(115200, true); // true redirect printf to Serial
• • PICO_STDIO_UART - if Serial is not used, uart0, GP0 & GP1
• • PICO_STDIO_USB - tinyusb

PIO ASM

Use tools from pico-sdk or here there is pre-compiled

---

CORES

Arduino use CORE_0, The CORE_1 is free for use

void loop1()
{
  Serial.println("core 1")
  while (1)
  {
    Serial.println("loop 1")
    delay(1000);
  }
}

run_core( loop1 );

Examples ( from screenshot ) & Others - TODO
