Description

Hi there,

How hard would it be to adapt this platform to only bundle the Pico SDK, debug tools and other nice things from this project? The reason for my question being that we want to avoid the bloated and inefficient Arduino framework all together and only work with C and the Pico SDK but retain the ability to build and debug our code. We've previously relied on Wizio-Pico but that project has since been scrapped.

Thank you!

Regards,
Jonathan

Research direction

The issue asks for a PlatformIO setup bundling the Pico SDK and debug tools without the Arduino framework. Start by reviewing the platform's current Arduino-related approach and the referenced Wizio-Pico project, then define whether C/Pico SDK builds and debugging can work independently. Done would require agreed scope and a working bare-metal build and debug workflow.
