Pico 2.0.0 SDK build errors (RP2040 & RP2350 RISC-V)

[iCMDdev]

I'm getting the following build error with the Pico 2.0.0 SDK when compiling the blink example for RP2040, and I'm not sure if this is an SDK error or something related to the current CMakeLists.txt:

pico-sdk/src/rp2_common/hardware_base/include/hardware/address_mapped.h:177:10: error: 'hardware/structs/accessctrl.h' file not found
175 | #if !PICO_RP2040
176 | // include this here to avoid the check in every other hardware/structs header that needs it
177 | #include "hardware/structs/accessctrl.h"
    |          `- error: 'hardware/structs/accessctrl.h' file not found
178 | #endif
179 | 

Clearly, something's off: it seems that even though I'm compiling for RP2040, the #if !PICO_RP2040 fails. Does anybody else experience this?

The hardware/structs/accessctrl.h file is indirectly included by pico/stdlib.h.

Potential(?) duplicate of #49.

I think I finally figured it out, at least partially. It seems that add_dependencies(swift-blinky swift-blinky-swiftcode) in CMakeLists.txt causes it. Removing it fixes the issue for me, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to do this, since then cmake won't gurantee that the Swift code is compiled before linking.

Edit: it actually doesn't seem to fix it? It's a pretty strange behavior..

I also opened this issue on the Pico SDK repo: raspberrypi/pico-sdk#1917.

After discussing this issue on the Pico SDK repo I realized this is caused by not passing the Pico SDK compiler definitions to swiftc. This is because Pico SDK doesn't manage the swift compilation itself - it doesn't add the required flags to the custom command .

One thing we can do to make this work is gather compiler flags from Pico SDK automatically, and then provide them to the Swift compiler:

Where hacky_cmake_helper.cmake is this file from the Raspberry Pi pico-playground repo.

This modification should be done to all Pico SDK examples regardless if they're currently working or not. Quoting from the Pico-SDK issue I mentioned earlier (raspberrypi/pico-sdk#1917):

The swift-embedded should be using the compile definitions for the headers the same as for the regular build, or you may get inconsistencies - this was the case before, but here you now have a compile failure rather than potential silent weirdness

What do you think? How should this be implemented?
I can submit a PR following your suggestions.

I also managed to run the pico-blink-sdk example on the RP2350 RISC-V cores using this, but it currently depends on an SDK change (raspberrypi/pico-sdk#1922).

To make it work, I've also made some small changes to CMakeLists.txt to add the correct -mabi and -march flags for RISC-V, respectively the -mfloat-abi=soft flag for ARM, based on the PICO_PLATFORM variable.

The Pico SDK issue was fixed, and the PR was merged to the SDK develop branch. It will be released in the master branch with SDK version 2.0.1.

I also have this working for a pico_w but target_link_libraries requires the following additions:
target_link_libraries(swift-blinky
pico_stdlib hardware_uart hardware_gpio pico_lwip_arch pico_cyw43_arch_none
)

Doesn't the pico-w-blink-sdk example have these dependencies already (but still lacks the 2.0.0 SDK flags)?

I guess we could merge the 2 pico SDK examples together and add the additional Pico-W specific dependencies if a Pico W is used (using the PICO_BOARD variable).

Yes it does, I was just pointing out for anyone who is using a pico_w.

For the CMakeLists yes, but the Main.swift files are rather different.

Oh right, forgot about that.
