For setting up a C/C++ SDK, I’m using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Once we understand the hardware, we need a setup C/C++ software development environment to develop applications. Setting-Up the C/C++ SDK for Raspberry Pi Pico on Linux Based System The most disappointing thing is that Raspberry Pi Pico has no hardware reset button on board, but the board has a RUN pin which acts as a reset pin when we short the pin with the Ground. It also has an onboard LED which is connected with the GPIO25. The most important thing is that we don't need any programmer to program a Raspberry Pi Pico because it works on “Drag-and-Drop” programming using mass storage over USB.Īs we see in the image above, Raspberry Pi Pico has 40 pinouts and 26 of them are multi-functional GPIOs. Raspberry Pi Pico also supports highly flexible power supply architecture, like micro-USB, external supplies or batteries. We get a total 26 of multi-functional GPIOs that support 3.3v digital I/O with 3 of them also being analog inputs. It has 264KB of SRAM and 2MB of onboard flash storage, but we can extend up to 16MB of off-chip Flash memory via a dedicated Quad-SPI bus.

Raspberry Pi Pico comes with a Dual-Core ARM Cortex M0+ processor, which can run up to 133MHz. A Brief Introduction to the Raspberry Pi Pico In this tutorial of Raspberry Pi Pico series, we will learn “How to Program a Raspberry Pi Pico using C/C++ SDK”.

Because it has a Dual-Core ARM processor along with GPIO & Digital/Analog peripherals, we can easily create micro to small scale embedded applications. It is a low-cost microcontroller, priced at $4, which is around ₹300 in Indian currency. Raspberry Pi Pico comes with the Raspberry Pi Foundation's own silicon chip RP2040. Raspberry Pi, which was mainly promoted for teaching the basics of computer science to kids and 9 years later, a microcontroller board, Raspberry Pi Pico was introduced. In 2012, Raspberry Pi Foundation introduced us to a single board computer i.e.
