rp2040Make

Easy to use Raspberry Pi Pico command line build sequence replacement. There is both C and shell script files for whatever tickles your fancy. There is also a version that works with FreeRTOS in raspberry_pi_pico_lora_template.

Instead of running the five commands used for building a Raspberry Pi Pico project:

rm -r build
mkdir build
cmake -D PICO_SDK_PATH=/Absolute/Path/To/pico-sdk -B ./build  #cmake from project folder into build folder
make -C build  # -C changes folder to build before running make

Replace that with shell script, or C code running shell commands, including export PICO_SDK_PATH=/Path/To/pico-sdk.

The file structure shown here is the layout for the Raspberry Pi Github Examples with this file included.

• pico_projects
  • rp2040Make.c
  • rp2040Make.sh
  • CMakeLists.txt
  • main.c

For this to work on your machine, add the path to your pico_sdk folder in the cmake command.

cmake -D PICO_SDK_PATH=/Absolute-Path-To/pico-sdk -B ./build

Then the rp2040Make.sh file will need its execute permissions changes. For this run:

chmod +x rp2040Make.sh

Now this file can be run using ./rp2040Make.sh.

For the C code, after you add your path, just compile the code and run the output.

gcc rp2040Make.c
./a.out

After running these command line prompts you should see a build folder appear, the output from CMake, and the build folder become populated.
