Interstate 75 W (RP2350) with VSCode

Hello,

I have bought an Interstate 75 W (RP2350) starter kit and I would like to be able to program it in C/CXX from within the VSCode environment provided by the Raspberry PI folk. I have got that working nicely with a Pico2 and I would like to be able to use it with the Interstate board. I am not at all familiar with cmake and my attempts at bringing Pimoroni examples from:

Are all failing unfortunately.

Can somebody guide me through setting up a boilerplate VSCode project that can find the Pimoroni hardware drivers and libraries please?

Thanks,

Paul

…maybe this thread is of some help for you…

You might need to change the PICO_BOARD and prepare your own board header file if it’s not already in the Pico SDK (I haven’t checked).

You will also need to set your pimoroni SDK path environment variable (same as you do with the normal pimoroni Pico boilerplate project).

It would be lovely if Pimoroni could publish a new boilerplate for the RP2350 based boards they’re making, rather than just the Micropython firmware images …

I believe a C++ boilerplate project for Interstate 75 W is now available here, if anyone fancies giving that a try?
