(Windows10) Environment building for Raspberry Pi Pico-C/C++

Download and Setting

​

1. GNU ARM Embedde Toolchain

Download link : https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads

Please check that the environment variable is added at the end after installation.

​

2. cmake

Download Link : https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.19.3/cmake-3.19.3-win64-x64.msi

Just receive and install!!

​

3. VS code

https://code.visualstudio.com/download#

Just receive and install!!

4. Pico SDK and Pico example

​

pico_sdk: https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk

pico_example : https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-examples

5. Path designation and confirmation

​Hold down the windows key and press R on your keyboard.

The run dialog box will open and you can be launching sysdm.cpl

Switch to the advanced tab and Click environment Variables...

Open the "Environment Variables" window. There are two options for user variables and system variables. The added system variable is only available to the all user, and the added system variable takes effect globally. Here I take the example of adding to system variables

​

​First click to select the Path variable, then click "Edit" to open the edit environment variable window, and add the directory we just added to it through the "New" function.

Enter the location where you installed the GNU ARM Embedde Toolchain and Cmake. At this time, the end of the path must end with bin.

There are two ways to do the compilation of my choice.

6. Building with windows powershell or vscode

• Building with windows powershell

--Create a build folder in the pico-example folder.

​

cmake -G "NMake Makefile"..

It will compile normally as shown below.

But at first, the error came out as follows...

..

So when I uploaded GNU ARM to the top in

Environment Variables -> System Variables -> path, it worked normally...

• Building with Visual code

You can see the setting and build

At this time, the built file can be directly imported and inserted into the Raspberry Pi Pico, which is recognized as a USB drive. Drag and plug

I can completely control the Raspberry Pi Pico using C/C++~!!!
