I created a new port of the latest version of Debugprobe (Raspberry renamed the firmware from Picoprobe), to Seeed XIAO RP2040.

drop-in firmware binary (for XIAO RP2040 only - don't use for a Pico): https://github.com/jancumps/debugprobe/releases/tag/v2.2.2_xiao_rp2040

Firmware is compatible with SDK 2.1.1 and the VSCode Pico Extension.

Raspberry is preparing the picoprobe project for different boards.
In their github picoprobe branch, they currently have include files for the Pico, for their Debug Probe and for a theoretical Example board.
There's no mechanism to switch yet - they are suggesting a mechanism that includes the right file based on the board selected in the CMake file (or the SDK default: pico)

Once that's made it to their code base, my project is no longer needed. I can then submit a pull request with a board_seeed_xiao_rp2040_config.h, and the XIAO version can be built from the original raspberry project.

Hi Jan,

This is great that you've documented this! I'm sure we will need to rebuild again at some point as raspberrypi org add new features to it (hopefully). The XIAO board is perfect as a PicoProbe.
