Manage the Raspberry Pi Pico boards

The Raspberry Pi Pico platform is based on the RP2040 and RP2350 MCUs.

The installation is performed with Arduino-CLI and offers two options:

  • The Arduino RP2040 platform relies on Mbed-OS and supports the Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect and Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 boards only; and

  • The recommended Raspberry Pi Pico platform by Earle F. Philhower, III relies on the official Raspberry Pi SDK and FreeRTOS. It supports the Raspberry Pi Pico RP204 and Pico Wireless boards, the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 RP2350 board, as well as a wide range of RP2040- and RP2350-based boards.

Check the tests

The test protocol includes building and linking, uploading and running a sketch on the boards using those versions of the IDEs and plug-ins. Boards packages are versioned but not dated.
