What this skill does
Raspberry Pi Pico 2 and Debug Probe This skill covers development with Raspberry Pi Pico 2 (RP2350) boards and the Raspberry Pi Debug Probe. It includes hardware specs, SDK setup, build configuration, debugging workflows, and common pitfalls. Reference Files Consult these for detailed technical content. Read only the file relevant to the current task: references/pico2-hardware.md - RP2350 specs, RP2040 vs RP2350 comparison, pin layout, wireless variant, security features, chip variants references/debug-probe.md - Debug Probe hardware, wiring diagrams, OpenOCD setup, GDB workflow, UART serial, RTT, VS Code integration, rescue mode, troubleshooting references/sdk-toolchain.md - pico-sdk setup, CMake configuration, ARM vs RISC-V builds, picotool commands, MicroPython/CircuitPython, project structure Quick Reference Board Selection (CMake) Board CMake Flag Platform ------- ----------- ---------- Pico 1 -DPICOBOARD=pico (default) rp2040 Pico 1 W -DPICOBOARD=picow rp2040 Pico 2 -DPICOBOARD=pico2 rp2350-arm-s Pico 2 W -DPICOBOARD=pico2w rp2350-arm-s Pico 2 RISC-V -DPICOBOARD=pico2 -DPICOPLATFORM=rp2350-riscv rp2350-riscv Debug Probe Wiring (SWD) Debug Probe "D" Pin Wire Colour Pico 2 SWD Pad --------------------- ------------- ----------------- SC Orange SWCLK GND Black GND SD Yellow SWDIO Debug Probe Wiring (UART) Debug Probe "U" Pin Wire Colour Pico 2 Pin GPIO --------------------- ------------- ------------ ------ TX Orange Pin 2 GP1 (RX) RX Yellow Pin 1 GP0 (TX) GND Black Pin 3 GND Note the crossover: probe TX to Pico RX, probe RX to Pico TX.
