Saying "Hello World; Building On Ms Windows - Raspberry Pi RP2040 Getting Started

Getting started with Raspberry Pi Pico

9.1.4. Saying "Hello World"

As we did previously in
to UART0 on pins GP0 and GP1. No driver installation is necessary if you're building with USB CDC as the target output,
as it's a class-compliant device. You just need to use a Terminal program, e.g.
serial port.

Alternatively if you want to you want to connect to the Raspberry Pi Pico standard UART to see the output you will need
to connect your Raspberry Pi Pico to your Mac using a USB to UART Serial converter, for example a

So long as you're using a recent version of macOS like Catalina, the drivers should already be loaded. Otherwise see the

Then you should use a Terminal program, e.g.
support.

9.2. Building on MS Windows

Installing the toolchain on Microsoft Windows 10 is somewhat different to other platforms. However once installed,
building code for the RP2040 is somewhat similar.

TIP
While Raspberry Pi does not directly support it there is a third-party installer script for Windows 10 that is roughly
equivalent of the
pico-setup-windows.
