IN BRIEF
An RP2040- based board, but instead of writing code, this board helps debug our code. Aimed more at advanced users, typically C/C++ coders, Debug Probe is a useful tool for those who need it. The bonus USB serial adaptor makes it useful for serial consoles on Raspberry Pi and other SBCs.

Freed from its case, the Debug Probe is quite nice looking and matches the other Raspberry Pi boards.
T he latest RP2040 device from Raspberry Pi isn’t a Pico, rather it is something we can use to debug a Pico. The Raspberry Pi Debug Probe is an RP2040-powered board designed for use with debugging tools. With it, we can interactively step through and identify issues with code running on a Pico (or other compatible device). The probe is used to observe data from a running program and provides a bridge between the Serial Wire Debug (SWD) port of the Pico, the three unsoldered pins opposite the Micro USB port and USB on your machine. Using the standardised CMSIS-DAP protocol, the Debug Probe can be used with debug software applications such as OpenOCD.
