# Set Up Raspberry Pi Pico SDK and build the firmware ## Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows you to install a complete Ubuntu terminal environment in minutes on your Windows machine, allowing you to develop cross-platform applications without leaving Windows. [Install Ubuntu on WSL for Windows](https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-on-wsl2-on-windows-10#1-overview) ## Prepare environment ```shell sudo apt update sudo apt install -y build-essential ``` ## Install additional tools GIT, Cmake ```shell sudo apt install git cmake ``` [GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain](https://lindevs.com/install-gnu-arm-embedded-toolchain-on-ubuntu) ## Install SDK ```shell sudo git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk.git ~/pico-sdk ``` ## Initialize submodules ```shell sudo git -C ~/pico-sdk submodule update --init ``` ## Set the PICO_SDK_PATH environment variable ```shell export PICO_SDK_PATH=~/pico-sdk ``` ## Build the firmware ```shell cd ~/v2-analog-fw mkdir build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. make $ ls *uf2 ... v2-analog-pico_w-vga.uf2 v2-analog-pico_w-z80.uf2 ``` ## Upload the firmware Hold down the BOOTSEL button and connect the Raspberry Pi Pico to your PC via micro USB cable. Once Pico is connected release the BOOTSEL button. Pi Pico should be connected to PC with USB mass storage device mode. A disk volume called RPI-RP2 will appear on your computer. Drag and drop the appropriate .uf2 file to that volume. RPI-RP2 will unmount and Pico will start the program.
