Raspberry Pi Official Debug Probe, All-In-One USB to Serial Debug and UART Bridge

Have used it with a raspberry pi Pico W module also available on PB tech, and on a Mac. Setup is easy, and works for the development work. Have used it with a raspberry pi Pico W module also available on PB tech, and on a Mac. Setup is easy, and works for the development work.

Purchased the probe to use it as a serial/USB converter and very glad I did. It comes with an extra 3-pin debug to female jumper cable not shown on the photos. Exactly what I needed.
Pros:
- works well out of the box
- good selection of cables
- very good manufacturing quality
Cons:
- none, really Purchased the probe to use it as a serial/USB converter and very glad I did. It comes with an extra 3-pin debug to female jumper cable not shown on the photos. Exactly what I needed.

Seems to work very well when coupled with OpenOCD to debug targets including (but not limited to) RP2040, STM32F4xx and Nordic NRF52. Note that a 'naked' RP2040 Pico board can in principal be used to debug these targets when loaded with the debugger firmware, it will not work reliabily with all of them. In my experience, this approach will work well when debugging a RP2040 but not STM32Fxx and Nordic targets (and probably others). I think that this is because the Picoprobe has an additional driver IC involved in the SWD debug interface that a 'naked' RP2040 Pico board lacks and the firmware is slightly different, this IC which seems to be...view more Seems to work very well when coupled with OpenOCD to debug targets including (but not limited to) RP2040, STM32F4xx and Nordic NRF52.

I haven't spent time exactly determining why but a Picoprobe works reliably with all of the targets that I have used with.

Great for debugging Great for debugging

my rpi pico was not working o i bought one of these and i hooked it up and it worked my rpi pico was not working o i bought one of these and i hooked it up and it worked
