How to Debug the Raspberry Pi Pico Using Another Pico! - Picoprobe and VSCode Tutorial

This video shows you how to debug the Raspberry Pi Pico using another Pico acting as a Picoprobe. We walk-through how to install the required dependencies to enable debugging inside Visual Studio Code (VSCode) and demonstrate simply how to add breakpoints and inspect register values. We debug a simple C blink LED program which was written in a previous video. This video also covers how to create a Picoprobe from a Raspberry Pi Pico, how to wire it to a target Pico and use it as a UART serial monitor as well as a debugger! By following this short tutorial you will be able to debug your C programs on your Pico in no time! The OpenOCD build and boilerplate code is available here: Links to programs mentioned in this video: OpenOCD: Picoprobe UF2: Zadig: Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 00:33 What will we need? 01:23 OpenOCD 02:18 USB Drivers 02
