For the pico-debug (`download <https://github.com/majbthrd/pico-debug/releases>`__) debugging way, *which needs to no additional debug probe*, add this snippet to your ``platformio.ini`` and follow the given procedure:
.. code:: ini
upload_protocol = pico-debug
debug_tool = pico-debug
build_flags = -DPIO_FRAMEWORK_ARDUINO_NO_USB
1. Build your firmware normally
2. Plug in the Pico in BOOTSEL mode
3. Drag and drop your ``.pio/build/<env>/firmware.uf2`` onto the boot drive
4. Unplug and replug your Pico back into BOOTSEL mode for the second time
5. Drag and drop the downloaded ``pico-debug-gimmecache.uf2`` file onto the boot drive
6. A CMSIS-DAP device should now appear on your computer
7. Start debugging via the debug sidebar as normal
Note the restrictions: The second core cannot be used, the USB port cannot be used (no USB serial, only UART serial), 16KB less RAM is available.
