Received a Raspberry Pi Pico in the mail today. I love getting new toys to play with. This thing is tiny ♥️

I assume this will just work fine on FreeBSD as you it just mounts a drive and you copy some application to it, then it should just work. But I want to try to compile some native C/C++ for it but you need to install the SDK for that. Anybody tried getting that pico-sdk and all working on FreeBSD yet?

Translating some of the (Linux) requirements it looks like I need at least devel/arm-none-eabi-gcc. Probably some other bits and pieces too, but it looks like I can find most of it in the ports tree. I'm going to need to do some experimenting tonight.

Just to make sure, by "native", you mean freestanding/bare metal? Cause that's what the SDK is for ;)
Anybody tried getting that pico-sdk and all working on FreeBSD yet?
I didn't, but it seems it only needs a cross-gcc and newlib for the ARM target, and both exist as ports, so hopefully it shouldn't be much of a problem.
 
Just to make sure, by "native", you mean freestanding/bare metal?
Yes, exactly, looks like I need to compile a UF2 file for it. As opposed to running the 'standard' CircuitPython or MicroPython code. I'm definitely going to play with Python too but I'm more interested in getting to run C/C++ code on it.
 
Nice. I would be interested to hear how you get on with this. I am looking to grab a couple of these things myself.

Traditionally I like the Arduino Nano, not so much because it is "easy" (which it is) but because it is always possible to get hold of one. Raspberry Pi Foundation also does a great job at keeping up supplies so this will likely only mean good things for the Pi Nano.
 
I was just asking because a FreeBSD binary compiled for the RasPi would of course be "native" as well, and for cross-compiling, you could just use base clang with --target=arm-unknown-freebsd13.

The Pi Pico is a micro-controller, it's an entirely different set up compared to the other Raspberry Pis. In this respect it has more in common with an Arduino or ESP32 for example.

Ok I assumed you meant to run FreeBSD *on* it, but although the CPU would be fine for that, seeing the specs with e.g. 264KB RAM, I now realized you were just talking about connectivity 😁
 
Yeah, I can see the confusion. I'm going to use FreeBSD to cross-compile for it and connect to it. I don't think it will ever be possible to get this tiny thing to boot FreeBSD 😁
 
devel/thonny works. You can select the Pico from the option menu as indicated in the Pico's documentation. It can't automatically find the Pico though. You have to select /dev/cuaU0 (in my case) by hand. And set the proper permissions on the device, or else a user can't write to it.

That Thonny thing is command-line based and doesn't need X? And is also available on platforms (Raspbian in particular)?

The Pi Pico sounds tempting. There are several places where I'm currently dreaming of installing Pi Zero boards, in my copious (pun for "non-existing") spare time. In several cases, I'd have to find WiFi capability though.
 
That Thonny thing is command-line based and doesn't need X? And is also available on platforms (Raspbian in particular)?
It's GUI. And yes, it's available on other platforms. It's actually the recommended application to use in the Pico documentation.

You can access the Pico's MicroPython REPL just by connecting a serial console, documentation recommends comms/minicom. You can probably use cu(1) too, it's just a plain serial console connection.

Still need to figure out how to automount it. You connect the Pico by holding down the button, then plugging it in. It should show up as a disk. Then you copy (ordinary file copy) your application to it. When the copy is finished the Pico disconnects, restarts and starts running the application. Then reconnects as a serial device.
 
If I read things correctly, the Arduino IDE recently added support for the Pi Pico too. Haven't tried that yet though.
 
Needed devel/arm-none-eabi-gcc and devel/arm-none-eabi-newlib. Things look fine, following the instructions:

Did the same on a recent Raspberry PI OS, and it builds just fine there. Looking a little closer I see the version of gcc-none-eabi-gcc on FreeBSD is newer than the one from Raspbian:
Code:
pi@raspberrypi:~/pico/mytest/build $ arm-none-eabi-gcc --version

Maybe there's a switch I can throw so it uses the older compiler settings, but haven't found anything yet. So I'm a little stuck at the moment.

Just got one of these as a present and not really sure what it does...

Do you have any interesting links and what it is capable of?

Please update this thread with any progress you make.
 
If you want to use MicroPython then you can use FreeBSD, devel/thonny works (with the caveat that you have configure the port by hand, it can't seem to find it automatically). It's the same Thonny that's used in many of the Pico's documentation. I'm only having some problems with getting C/C++ code for the Pico to compile on FreeBSD.
 
I've just installed devel/thonny
and expected it to magically appear under the Progamming tab on LXDE, but no...
Whats the best way to launch it? This is what I get when running thonny
Code:

Don't run applications as root. Open a terminal on your user account and start it from there. Make sure you're running X as Thonny is a GUI application. I have Thonny running on the Awesome window manager, so it doesn't need much with regards to desktop environments.
 
I have Thonny running and I can see the pico device attached if I run dmesg:

Following the Pico projects guide, I not sure what to expect when I try to Add the MicroPython firmware
... I've run pkg install micropython. Should I expect Thonny to add/find it somehow?

Not really sure what to expect...
 

Download the UF2 file. Press the button on the pico and connect it. Drag 'n drop (or copy) that UF2 file to the pico's disk device. The pico will then disconnect and reconnect as a serial (modem) device.

Start Thonny. Go to Run -> Select Interpreter. Select "Micropython (Raspberry Pi Pico)" and select the correct Port (mine's on /dev/cuaU0). Make sure your user account has read/write permissions to the serial device or you won't be able to use it.

There is no need to install MicroPython locally. It runs on the Pico itself (it's the UF2 file you copied earlier).
 
When selecting interpreter I don't see "Micropython (Raspberry Pi Pico)", I selected "Micropython (BBC micro:blt)" - I don't know if that is equivalent, but I did manage to switch the LED on and off, so I guess that is some small amount of progress...

I did notice this when I hit Ctrl-D

Code:
MPY: soft reboot
MicroPython v1.14 on 2021-02-05; Raspberry Pi Pico with RP2040
Type "help()" for more information.

so it looks like I have installed the correct version of Micropython...

I guess I need to learn a bit of python before continuing.

Not managed to save anything yet using Thonny. When I goto File->Save->To MicroPythonDevice I get:-

Code:

Looks like something may be missing from Thonny's environment.
 
I've made some progress with regards to compiling C/C++. On a Raspberry Pi 3 running FreeBSD 13.0 and the same version of arm-none-eabi-gcc as on my AMD64 machine I get a different compiler error. It does seem to build that pico-sdk/src/rp2_common/pico_printf/printf.c just fine but it chokes on something else. Why do I get different compiler errors on aarch64 and amd64 when everything else is exactly the same?

This I don't get.
Code:

It builds fine on the Pi but fails on my amd64 system. But it eventually still croaks.
 
It looks like it's using the host compiler (perhaps inadvertently) - there is no instance of that error string in any of the Pico SDK source, nor anything else on my system apart from:


/usr/src/contrib/llvm-project/libcxx/include/__config:# error "No thread API"

/usr/include/c++/v1/__config:# error "No thread API"

Not immediately clear if it's using the host compiler where it should be using the target compiler, or is deliberately compiling a build tool to run on the host.
