Features

  • RP2040 microcontroller chip

  • Dual-core ARM Cortex M0+ processor, flexible clock running up to 133 MHz

  • 264kB of SRAM, and 8MB of on-board Flash memory

  • Castellated module allows soldering direct to carrier boards

  • USB Host and Device support via type C connector.

  • Low-power sleep and dormant modes

  • Drag & drop programming using mass storage over USB

  • 18 multi-function GPIO pins

  • 2× SPI, 2× I2C, 2× UART, 3× 12-bit ADC, 16× controllable PWM channels

  • Accurate clock and timer on-chip

  • Temperature sensor

  • Accelerated floating point libraries on-chip

  • 8 × Programmable IO (PIO) state machines for custom peripheral support

  • On-board STEMMA QT connector for quick I2C connection.

Serial Console

By default a serial console appears on pins 1 (TX GPIO0) and pin 2 (RX GPIO1). This console runs a 115200-8N1.

The board can be configured to use the USB connection as the serial console.

Buttons and LEDs

There is a BOOT button which if held down when power is first applied or the RESET button is pressed will cause the RP2040 to boot into program mode and appear as a storage device to a USB connector. Saving a .UF2 file to this device will replace the Flash ROM contents on the RP2040.

A RESET button that allows rebooting the board without disconnecting the power.

A ws2812 (NeoPixel) smart RGB LED controlled by GPIO17.

The board has a STEMMA QT connector that is also connected to pins GPI12 (I2C1 SDA) and GPI13 (I2C1 SDA).

Power Supply

The Raspberry Pi Pico can be powered via the USB connector, or by supplying +5V to pin 23.

The Raspberry Pi Pico chip run on 3.3 volts. This is supplied by an onboard voltage regulator.

README
======

This directory contains the port of NuttX to the Adafruit KB2040.
See https://www.adafruit.com/product/5302 for information about Adafruit KB2040.

NuttX supports the following RP2040 capabilities:
  - UART  (console port)
    - GPIO 0 (UART0 TX) and GPIO 1 (UART0 RX) are used for the console.
  - I2C
  - SPI (master only)
  - DMAC
  - PWM
  - ADC
  - Watchdog
  - USB device
    - MSC, CDC/ACM serial and these composite device are supported.
    - CDC/ACM serial device can be used for the console.
  - PIO (RP2040 Programmable I/O)
  - Flash ROM Boot
  - SRAM Boot
    - If Pico SDK is available, nuttx.uf2 file which can be used in
      BOOTSEL mode will be created.
  - Persistent flash filesystem in unused flash ROM

NuttX also provide support for these external devices:

  - BMP180 sensor at I2C0 (don't forget to define I2C0 GPIOs at "I2C0 GPIO pin assign" in Board Selection menu)
  - INA219 sensor / module (don't forget to define I2C0 GPIOs at "I2C0 GPIO pin assign" in Board Selection menu)
  - Pico Display Pack (ST7789 LCD)
    - RGB leds and buttons are not supported yet.
  - Pico Audio Pack (PCM5100A I2S DAC)
    - I2S interface is realized by PIO.
  - WS2812 smart pixel support

There is currently no direct user mode access to these RP2040 hardware features:
  - SPI Slave Mode
  - SSI
  - RTC
  - Timers

Installation
============

1. Download Raspberry Pi Pico SDK

  $ git clone -b 1.1.2 https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk.git

2. Set PICO_SDK_PATH environment variable

  $ export PICO_SDK_PATH=<absolute_path_to_pico-sdk_directory>

3. Configure and build NuttX

  $ git clone https://github.com/apache/nuttx.git nuttx
  $ git clone https://github.com/apache/nuttx-apps.git apps
  $ cd nuttx
  $ make distclean
  $ ./tools/configure.sh raspberrypi-pico:nsh
  $ make V=1

4. Connect Adafruit KB2040 board to USB port while pressing BOOTSEL.
   The board will be detected as USB Mass Storage Device.
   Then copy "nuttx.uf2" into the device.
   (Same manner as the standard Pico SDK applications installation.)

5. To access the console, GPIO 0 and 1 pins must be connected to the
   device such as USB-serial converter.

   `usbnsh` configuration provides the console access by USB CDC/ACM serial
   devcice.  The console is available by using a terminal software on the USB
   host.
