Pico W Bluetooth

These examples are for the Pico W, and are only available for PICO_BOARD=pico_w. They are examples from the Blue Kitchen Bluetooth stack, see here for a full description.

By default, the Bluetooth examples are only built in one "mode" only (background, poll, or freertos), with the default being background. This can be changed by passing -DBTSTACK_EXAMPLE_TYPE=poll etc. to CMake, or all examples can be built (which may be slow) by passing -DBTSTACK_EXAMPLE_TYPE=all Freertos versions can only be built if FREERTOS_KERNEL_PATH is defined.

UART

App Description
hello_uart Print some text from one of the UART serial ports, without going through stdio.
lcd_uart Display text and symbols on a 16x02 RGB LCD display via UART
uart_advanced Use some other UART features like RX interrupts, hardware control flow, and data formats other than 8n1.

USB Device

TinyUSB Examples

Most of the USB device examples come directly from the TinyUSB device examples directory here. Those that are supported on RP2040 devices are automatically included as part of the pico-examples build as targets named tinyusb_dev_<example_name>, e.g. https://github.com/hathach/tinyusb/tree/master/examples/device/hid_composite is built as tinyusb_dev_hid_composite.

At the time of writing, these examples are available:

  • tinyusb_dev_audio_4_channel_mic
  • tinyusb_dev_audio_test
  • tinyusb_dev_board_test
  • tinyusb_dev_cdc_dual_ports
  • tinyusb_dev_cdc_msc
  • tinyusb_dev_dfu
  • tinyusb_dev_dfu_runtime
  • tinyusb_dev_dynamic_configuration
  • tinyusb_dev_hid_composite
  • tinyusb_dev_hid_generic_inout
  • tinyusb_dev_hid_multiple_interface
  • tinyusb_dev_midi_test
  • tinyusb_dev_msc_dual_lun
  • tinyusb_dev_net_lwip_webserver
  • tinyusb_dev_uac2_headset
  • tinyusb_dev_usbtmc
  • tinyusb_dev_video_capture
  • tinyusb_dev_webusb_serial

Whilst these examples ably demonstrate how to use TinyUSB in device mode, their CMakeLists.txt is set up in a way tailored to how TinyUSB builds their examples within their source tree.

For a better example of how to configure CMakeLists.txt for using TinyUSB in device mode with the Raspberry Pi SDK see below:

SDK build example

App Description
dev_hid_composite A copy of the TinyUSB device example with the same name, but with a CMakeLists.txt which demonstrates how to add a dependency on the TinyUSB device libraries with the Raspberry Pi Pico SDK

Low Level example

App Description
dev_lowlevel A USB Bulk loopback implemented with direct access to the USB hardware (no TinyUSB)

USB Host

All the USB host examples come directly from the TinyUSB host examples directory here. Those that are supported on RP2040 devices are automatically included as part of the pico-examples build as targets named tinyusb_host_<example_name>, e.g. https://github.com/hathach/tinyusb/tree/master/examples/host/cdc_msc_hid is built as tinyusb_host_cdc_msc_hid.

At the time of writing, there is only one host example available:

  • tinyusb_host_cdc_msc_hid

USB Dual Mode

USB Dual Mode uses PIO as a USB host controller and the RP2040 USB device controller as a device controller. All the USB dual examples come directly from the TinyUSB dual examples directory here. Those that are supported on RP2040 devices are automatically included as part of the pico-examples build as targets named tinyusb_dual_<example_name>, e.g. https://github.com/hathach/tinyusb/tree/master/examples/dual/host_hid_to_device_cdc is built as tinyusb_dual_host_hid_to_device_cdc.

At the time of writing, there is only one dual example available:

  • tinyusb_dual_host_hid_to_device_cdc

Watchdog

App Description
hello_watchdog Set the watchdog timer, and let it expire. Detect the reboot, and halt.
