pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-arm-none-eabi-gcc
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake</code></pre>
Download and compile source code
git clone -b master "https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk.git"
cd pico-sdk
git submodule update --init
export PICO_SDK_PATH=/w/work/rbpico/win/pico-sdk
git clone -b master "https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-examples.git"
cd pico-examples/
git submodule update --init
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
mingw32-make</code></pre>
- First, install SDK into Widows WSL2
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raspberrypi/pico-setup/master/pico_setup.sh
export SKIP_VSCODE=1
export SKIP_UART=1
export OUTDIR=/mnt/w/work/rbpico
This script will set PICO_SDK_PATH, PICO_EXAMPLES_PATH, PICO_EXTRAS_PATH, PICO_PLAYGROUND_PATH
