General • Re: Using the Pico 2 W as a Debug Probe

Thnaks, but there is also - https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk/blob/master/src/boards/include/boards/pico2_w.h#L88 -I would expect the application code to be able to handle both GPIO connection and via CYW43 with something like -I couldn't find any reference to either "PICO_DEFAULT_LED_PIN" or "CYW43_WL_GPIO_LED_PIN" in the 'debugprobe' source but that handling could be part of Pico SDK functions.

But there is simply doesn't support Pico W, Pico 2W or any third-party boards -So currently one has to build for Pico or Pico 2 and that will expect the LED to be controlled by the GPIO, which it won't be when those images are run on a Pico W or Pico 2W, as the OP notes, but the code should still run and work as expected.

That's a hard-check in 'CMakeLists.txt' so can be edited to allow Pico W, Pico 2W, and third-party boards to be built. Those build but whether they can and do control the LED I don't know. I would guess not or the 'CMakeLists.txt' would have allowed building for anything. It may be that they don't even load the CYW43 firmware to allow the LED to be controlled.

Maybe that simply wouldn't work with the code as is, and hence the hard-check. It would require more investigation. I might take a closer look later.
