4. அமைவு வழிகாட்டி
4.1 ஆரம்ப இணைப்பு
- Connect the RP2350-Plus board to your computer using a standard USB Type-C cable.
- The board should be recognized as a mass storage device (like a USB drive) when in bootloader mode. To enter bootloader mode, hold down the துவக்கவும் button while plugging in the USB cable, then release the துவக்கவும் பொத்தான்.
- If the board is not recognized, ensure your USB cable supports data transfer and is not just a charging cable.
4.2 மென்பொருள் அமைப்பு
The RP2350-Plus supports development using C/C++ SDK and MicroPython, offering flexibility for various programming needs.
Figure 4.1: C/C++, MicroPython support.
4.2.1 C/C++ Development
For C/C++ development, you can use the official Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ SDK. This SDK can be utilized from the command line or integrated development environments (IDEs) such as Visual Studio Code and Eclipse. Refer to the official Raspberry Pi Pico documentation for detailed setup instructions for the C/C++ SDK.
4.2.2 MicroPython Development
MicroPython is a lean and efficient implementation of the Python 3 programming language that runs directly on embedded hardware like the RP2350-Plus. To get started with MicroPython:
- Download the appropriate MicroPython UF2 firmware file for the RP2350-Plus from the Waveshare wiki or official MicroPython webதளம்.
- Enter bootloader mode (hold துவக்கவும் and plug in USB).
- Drag and drop the downloaded UF2 file onto the RPI-RP2 mass storage device that appears. The board will automatically reboot into MicroPython.
- Use an IDE like Thonny to connect to the board and begin programming.
