Raspberry Pi Pico Rust Template

A Nix flake template for developing Rust applications on the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller.

Features

• Rust development environment with cross-compilation support
• Target: thumbv6m-none-eabi (ARM Cortex-M0+)
• Pre-configured with necessary tools and dependencies
• Nix flake for reproducible development environment

Usage

Using as a template

Create a new project using this template:

nix flake init -t github:Lugendre/rp-pico-template

Or specify the template explicitly:

nix flake new my-pico-project -t github:Lugendre/rp-pico-template

Development

Enter the development shell:

nix develop

Build the project:

cargo build --release

Flashing to Pico

1. Hold the BOOTSEL button while connecting the Pico to your computer
2. Copy the generated .uf2 file to the mounted Pico drive
