Examples ¶

Examples are listed from Raspberry Pi RP2040 development platform repository:

Debugging ¶

Debugging - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Supported debugging tools are listed in “Debug” column. For more detailed information, please scroll table by horizontal. You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions.

External Debug Tools ¶

Boards listed below are compatible with Debugging but DEPEND ON external debug probe. They ARE NOT READY for debugging. Please click on board name for the further details.
