Hi,
I am struggeling to get to a working setup on a PI5.
I am following the instructions from the https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/pico ... 4wLjAuMA.. document. However it seems that two things are broken.
1. openocd is not controlled correctly and not via libgpiod. That prevents the debugger dot work and it will fail.
2. Raspberry PI Pico extension for VScode does create a lot of useless buttons and configurations, probably for Windows users. It gives a lot of targets that simply wont work.
I could figure out how to drive openocd correctly (changing the raspberrypi-swd.cfg), but I did not find any way to use the PICO extension in any way. It will not produce what I want.
Also the vscode extension changes the layout with regards to the getting started document, so that you cannot find anything anymore. For instance the status line (blue bottom line) should have the buttons for cmake, however they have hidden it. You can unhide it, but you need to actually be already an vscode expert to undestand it. It is not a great way for beginners to start.
So my question in the end:
Anyone has a found anywhere a good and working setup instruction (howto) to get it running on a Raspberry PI 5?
For the openocd part I have something, but for the extension part it is just not working and confusing me a lot. As I do not understand how everything works in vscode itself and I do not want to dive into it myself. I just want to focus on the PICO, which is enough of uncharted territory for me to learn.
