how to use this project template

make a copy side-by-side with the pico-sdk and rename it to your project.
in CMakeLists.txt change the project name to your project.

Open CMakeLists.txt in your IDE.


or do it on the command line:
*** change the board name and toolchain file if needed! ***
*** you may prefer to export PICO_SDK_PATH=/hard/path/to/pico-sdk ***

	cd YOUR_PROJECT
	mkdir build-debug
	cd build-debug
	rm -rf *
	export PICO_SDK_PATH=../../pico-sdk
	cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DPICO_BOARD=vgaboard -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../../pico-sdk/cmake/preload/toolchains/pico_arm_cortex_m0plus_gcc.cmake ..
	make -j

	cd YOUR_PROJECT
	mkdir build-release
	cd build-release
	rm -rf *
	export PICO_SDK_PATH=../../pico-sdk
	cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DPICO_BOARD=vgaboard -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../../pico-sdk/cmake/preload/toolchains/pico_arm_cortex_m0plus_gcc.cmake ..
	make -j

*** if you use lib kilipili and want to build the desktop tools:
	cd YOUR_PROJECT
	cd kilipili/desktop_tools
	mkdir build
	cd build
	rm -rf *
	export PICO_SDK_PATH=../../../../pico-sdk
	cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DPICO_BOARD=vgaboard -DMAKE_TOOLS=1 ..
	make -j


*** connect to your pico: (for SIO over USB)
minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0


*** flash your program into your pico using DebugProbe:
*** https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/debug-probe.html
sudo openocd -f interface/cmsis-dap.cfg -f target/rp2040.cfg -c "adapter speed 5000" -c "program MYPROGRAM.elf verify reset exit"

*** connect to your pico: (for SIO over DebugProbe)
minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0
