Connect with iProbe CMSIS/DAP Debugger
The CPico RP2040 pairs perfectly with our BSWD iProbe debugger for CMSIS/DAP compatibility. With the iProbe, you can:
- Quickly flash and debug code over the BConnect debug port.
- Streamline the development process with plug-and-play functionality.
- Achieve seamless integration with tools like OpenOCD, GDB, and popular IDEs.
The CPico RP2040 is connected to the iProbe using the included small flexible flat cable which connects the SWCLK, SWDIO and UART TX (and also GND) which gives you a convenient of debugging your application.
USB Type C
The board is equipped with a sturdy USB type C connector which provides both power and data to the board. The connector is configured to automatically negotiate 3A max power delivery when connected to a USB C host system.
