Raspberry Pi Debug Probe

Raspberry Pi Debug Probe – Plug-and-Play USB Debugging for Arm Microcontrollers

Simplify embedded development with the Raspberry Pi Debug Probe, a compact, all-in-one USB-to-debug hardware tool designed for hassle-free debugging and programming of Arm-based microcontrollers like the Raspberry Pi Pico. Built around the powerful RP2040 chip, this versatile tool features both a USB-to-serial wire debug (SWD) bridge and a USB-to-UART bridge, making it ideal for use across Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.

The Debug Probe eliminates the need for soldering or GPIO headers, offering plug-and-play connectivity through the Raspberry Pi 3-pin debug connector. Whether you're debugging a Raspberry Pi Pico or any other Arm MCU with a 3.3V SWD interface, this tool ensures a smooth and flexible development experience.

Key Features:

• Dual Functionality: Combines a USB-to-SWD and USB-to-UART bridge in one device

• Universal Compatibility: Works with Raspberry Pi Pico, RP2040, and most Arm microcontrollers with 3.3V SWD

• CMSIS-DAP Compliant: Fully compatible with OpenOCD and tools that support CMSIS-DAP

• Pre-Configured Software: Runs Raspberry Pi's open-source Picoprobe firmware (easily updatable)

• Multi-Platform Support: Connects seamlessly with Windows, macOS, and Linux-based development systems

• Complete Kit Included: Comes with a USB cable and three debug cables:

  • 3-pin JST to 3-pin JST

  • 3-pin JST to 0.1" header (female)

  • 3-pin JST to 0.1" header (male)

• Enclosed Design: Protected by a sleek, transparent plastic case

• Form Factor: Compact 22mm × 32mm design for portability and ease of use

• Voltage: Operates at a nominal I/O voltage of 3.3V

Whether you're starting a new RP2040 project or need a reliable USB-to-UART bridge, the Raspberry Pi Debug Probe is the go-to solution for embedded developers.
