This firmware implements a co-processor firmware which makes the RP2040 function as both a dual USB to serial converter and an I2C slave device which allows the ESP32 to read button states and control things like the FPGA control signals and the SAO GPIOs.
This firmware has been tested to work when built using pico-sdk version 1.3.1 and 1.5.1
- Set up the Pico SDK and try to compile an example to check whether it's set up correctly
- Run
make buildto build the firmware,make flashto flash ormaketo build & flash
If you're getting compilation errors, make sure you have the newest version of all toolchain components and run make clean before retrying.

The I2C peripheral function is based on pico_i2c_slave by Valentin Milea, MIT license.

You need the Raspberry Pi supplied version of openocd and a Raspberry Pi Pico flashed with the Picoprobe firmware hooked up to the SWD interface of the badge for this to work.
