BreadboardOS for Raspberry Pi Pico

BreadboardOS (BBOS) by Cavin McKinley is a firmware platform aimed at quick prototyping on Raspberry Pi Pico. BBOS was built around the following principles:

  1. Every project should start with a CLI. A command line interface makes prototyping, debugging, and testing about 1000% easier, especially over the lifespan of multiple projects with reused pieces.
  2. Write it once. Don’t waste time writing and re-writing the basic infrastructure for your projects. Modularize, duplicate, and profit!
  3. Get running QUICKLY. The faster you can bring up a project, the faster you can find out that you need to re-tool the whole dang thing. But at least you don’t have to write a CLI again!

Functional Description

BreadboardOS is built on top of FreeRTOS, enabling fast integration of new functional blocks and allowing for task concurrency without breaking the base system. Existing knowledge of RTOS is not necessarily required.
