/** @defgroup boards_rpi_pico Raspberry Pi Pico @ingroup boards @brief Support for the RP2040 based Raspberry Pi Pico board ## Overview The Raspberry Pi Pico is sold by the Raspberry Pi foundation for about 4 USD. It features the RP2040 MCU, a custom dual core ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU with relatively high CPU clock, plenty of RAM and some unique peripheral (the Programmable IO). ## Hardware ![Raspberry Pi Pico](https://www.raspberrypi.org/homepage-9df4b/static/rp2040@2x-d1b9dae9345ad2bd15a23c6a567edb5c.jpg) ### MCU The Programmable IO (PIO) peripheral and the SSI/QSPI peripheral that supports execution from flash (XIP) are the most distinguishing features of the MCU. The latter is especially important, since the RP2040 contains no internal flash. | MCU | RP2040 | |:-----------|:------------------------------------------------------------ | | Family | (2x) ARM Cortex-M0+ | | Vendor | Raspberry Pi | | RAM | 264 KiB | | Flash | 2 MiB (up to 16 MiB) | | Frequency | up to 133 MHz | | FPU | no | | PIOs | 8 | | Timers | 1 x 64-bit | | ADCs | 1x 12-bit (4 channels + temperature sensor) | | UARTs | 2 | | SPIs | 2 | | I2Cs | 2 | | RTCs | 1 | | USBs | 1 (USB 2.0) | | Watchdog | 1 | | SSI/QSPI | 1 (connected to flash, with XIP support) | | Vcc | 1.62V - 3.63V | | Datasheet | [Datasheet](https://www.raspberrypi.org/homepage-9df4b/static/rp2040@2x-d1b9dae9345ad2bd15a23c6a567edb5c.jpg) | ### User Interface 1 button (also used for boot selection) and 1 LED: | Device | PIN | |:------ |:---------------- | | LED0 | 25 | | SW0 | QSPI_SS_N (*) | (*) Since the switch is connected to the chip-select pin of the QSPI interface the flash chip RIOT is running from via XIP, the switch is difficult to read out from software. This is currently not supported. ### Pinout ![Pinout Diagram of RPi Pico](https://projects-static.raspberrypi.org/projects/getting-started-with-the-pico/f009ad94826c2f0cd7573a295897e76955301096/en/images/Pico-R3-Pinout.png) ## Flashing the Board ### Flashing the Board Using OpenOCD Currently (June 2021), only two methods for debugging via OpenOCD are supported: 1. Using a bit-banging low-level adapter, e.g. via the GPIOs of a Raspberry Pi 4B 2. Using a virtual CMSIS-DAP adapter provided by the second CPU core via https://github.com/majbthrd/pico-debug Since option 2 requires no additional hardware, this is currently the default. However, you need to first "flash" the gimme-cache variant of [pico-debug](https://github.com/majbthrd/pico-debug) into RAM using the UF2 bootloader. For this, plug in the USB cable while holding down the BOOTSEL button of the Pico and copy the `pico-debug-gimmecache.uf2` from the [latest pico-debug release](https://github.com/majbthrd/pico-debug/releases) into the virtual FAT formatted drive the bootloader provides. Once this drive is unmounted again, this will result in the Raspberry Pi Pico showing up as CMSIS-DAP debugger. Afterwards run: ``` make BOARD=rpi-pico flash ``` @warning The `rpi-pico` virtual debugger is not persistent and needs to be "flashed" into RAM again after each cold boot. @note As of July 2021, the latest stable release of OpenOCD does not yet support the RP2040 MCU. Instead, compile the current `master` branch from the upstream OpenOCD source. The OpenOCD fork of the Raspberry Pi foundation is incompatible with OpenOCD configuration provided, so please stick with upstream OpenOCD. ### Flashing the Board Using the Bootloader Connect the device to your Micro-USB cable while the button (labeled `BOOTSEL` on the silkscreen of the PCB) is pressed to enter the bootloader. Afterwards run: ``` make BOARD=rpi-pico PROGRAMMER=uf2conv flash ``` ### Flashing the Board Using J-Link Connect the Board to an Segger J-Link debugger, e.g. the EDU mini debugger is relatively affordable, but limited to educational purposes. Afterwards run: ``` make BOARD=rpi-pico PROGRAMMER=jlink flash ``` ## On-Chip Debugging There are currently (June 2021) few hardware options for debugging the Raspberry Pi Pico: 1. Via J-Link using one of Seggers debuggers 2. Via OpenOCD using a low-level bit-banging debugger (e.g. a Raspberry Pi 4B with the GPIOs connected to the Raspberry Pi Pico via jump wires) 3. Via a recently updated [Black Magic Probe](https://github.com/blacksphere/blackmagic) In addition, a software-only option is possible using [pico-debug](https://github.com/majbthrd/pico-debug). The default linker script reserved 16 KiB of RAM for this debugger, hence just "flash" the "gimme-cache" flavor into RAM using the UF2 bootloader. Once this is done, debugging is as simple as running: ``` make BOARD=rpi-pico debug ``` ***Beware:*** The `rpi-pico` virtual debugger is not persistent and needs to be "flashed" into RAM again after each cold boot. The initialization code of RIOT now seems to play well with the debugger, so it remains persistent on soft reboots. If you face issues with losing connection to the debugger on reboot, try `monitor reset init` in GDB to soft-reboot instead. ## Known Issues / Problems ### Early state Implementation Currently no support for the following peripherals is implemented: - Timers - ADC - SPI - I2C - USB - PIO - RTC - Watchdog - SMP support (multi CPU support is not implemented in RIOT) */
