To set up user-level access to Picoprobes on Ubuntu (and other OSes which use udev): echo 'SUBSYSTEMS='usb', ATTRS='0004', GROUP='users', MODE='0666'' | sudo tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/les Under Windows a local admin user should be able to access the Picoprobe port automatically, but under Linux udev must be told about the device and to allow normal users access. If you have built a Raspberry Pi Picoprobe, you can use OpenOCD to handle your sketch uploads and for debugging with GDB. Should this happen, just follow the initial procedure of holding the BOOTSEL button down while plugging in the Pico to enter the ROM bootloader. In some cases the Pico will encounter a hard hang and its USB port will not respond to the auto-reset request. Them hit the upload button and your sketch should upload and run. This selection allows the auto-reset tool to identify the proper device to reset. Select the appropriate serial port shown in the Arduino Tools->Port->Serial Port menu once (this setting will stick and does not need to be touched for multiple uploads). Then hit the upload button and the sketch should be transferred and start to run.Īfter the first upload, this should not be necessary as the arduino-pico core has auto-reset support. To upload your first sketch, you will need to hold the BOOTSEL button down while plugging in the Pico to your computer. If you follow Les' step-by-step you will also have a fully functional CMake-based environment to build Pico apps on if you outgrow the Arduino ecosystem. Tom's Hardware presented a very nice writeup on installing arduino-pico on both Windows and Linux, available at

To install via GIT (for latest and greatest versions): mkdir -p ~/Arduino/hardware/pico

Type 'pico' in the search box and select 'Add': Go to Tools->Boards->Board Manager in the IDE In the dialog that pops up, enter the following URL in the 'Additional Boards Manager URLs' field: Open up the Arduino IDE and go to File->Preferences. Also, if trying out the 2.0 beta Arduino please install the release 1.8 version beforehand to ensure needed device drivers are present. Otherwise the Pico board may not be detected. and allow it to install any device drivers it suggests. Use the 'Windows ZIP' or plain 'Windows' executable (EXE) download direct from. Windows Users: Please do not use the Windows Store version of the actual Arduino application because it has issues detecting attached Pico boards. There is automated discovery of boards in bootloader mode, so they show up in the IDE, and the upload command works using the Microsoft UF2 tool (included). It uses a custom toolset with GCC 10.2 and Newlib 4.0.0, not depending on system-installed prerequisites. This is a port of the RP2040 (Raspberry Pi Pico processor) to the Arduino ecosystem. Raspberry Pi Pico Arduino core, for all RP2040 boards
