Firmware source and binaries for the Raspberry Pi Debug Probe, an RP2040-based USB-to-SWD/UART debugging accessory. It can also run on a Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico 2 to turn them into debug probes.

Use cases

  • debug rp2040 microcontrollers over swd
  • turn a raspberry pi pico into a debug probe
  • usb to uart serial bridge for microcontrollers
  • flash and debug pico boards from openocd
  • build custom debug probe firmware

When to choose

  • you need SWD debugging or UART access for RP2040/RP2350 boards
  • you want to repurpose a Pico as a CMSIS-DAP style debug probe
  • you want to modify or study debug probe firmware

When to avoid

  • you need a debugger for non-Raspberry-Pi architectures without CMSIS-DAP support
  • you want a graphical debugging tool rather than firmware
  • you need JTAG rather than SWD
