Product Overview
The official Debug Probe for Raspberry Pi Pico is an RP2040-based tool that provides a USB-to-Serial-Wire-Debug bridge and a USB-to-UART bridge, making it straightforward to debug the Pico and other Arm-based microcontrollers from Windows, macOS or Linux.
Key Features
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Serial Wire Debug (SWD) bridge | Step through code and set breakpoints on the Pico |
| USB-to-UART bridge | See serial output on your computer |
| Powered by RP2040 | Official, well-supported design |
| Cables included | Connect to JST or 0.1-inch headers straight away |
| CMSIS-DAP / OpenOCD | Works with standard debugging tools |
Applications
| Application Area | Example Projects |
|---|---|
