I have verified that Arm GNU Embedded Toolchain 11.2-2022.02 works. Head to the GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain download page and download the latest installer for Windows. The GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain contains the Arm GCC compiler that we need to compile C and C++ code for the RP2040. Some Unix/Linux tools (that have been ported to Windows) do not work well with paths that have spaces in them. We use these short, one-word folder names to keep paths short and to avoid spaces. You should be able to keep all of your Arm development tools in the VSARM directory and have them coexist with other tools and SDKs. Note that this directory structure is similar to how you might set up other Arm compiler tools and SDKs (such as this STM32 toolchain setup). In C:\VSARM, create the following folders: This setup will make it easy to configure the Path and find things later on.Ĭreate a folder named VSARM in the top level of your C drive. With the exception of CMake and Python, we will want all of our tools and SDK files to exist in one folder on Windows. This guide walks you through an alternative way of installing the C/C++ toolchain for the Pico, using MinGW in place of the Build Tools for Visual Studio.

The Raspberry Pi Pico getting started guide shows you how to do this, but I have issues with two parts: you need to install Build Tools for Visual Studio (around 6 GB) and you must run VS Code from within a Developer Command Prompt every time.
Installing the toolchain is an arduous process, requiring multiple programs and manually modifying the Windows Path. On macOS, you need to use Homebrew to install the toolchain, which is only a few commands in the terminal. On Linux (specifically, most flavors of Debian), you can run a single script that will install everything for you. Raspberry Pi has a fantastic getting started guide for the Pico that covers installation steps for the major operating systems. This tutorial will show you how to install the Raspberry Pi Pico toolchain on Windows 10 for C and C++ development.
