Is it possible to program Raspberry Pi Pico, by Flowcode-8 or Flowcode-9 ?

Thanks in advance

Hi

I've only just started with FC v9 (have every version since v3) and the Pi family. Basically I'm now exploring Pi as I got a free Pico board with a recent edition of HackSpace. Starting with a SoC Mk14 circa '77 I never thought I'd ever get a free computer in a magazine <s>

FC doesn't specifically have a Pico target, but as the Pico and RPi4 (which is supported) seem to share the same processor (ARM Cortex-A72) I'm hopeful that FC can indeed be used, even if limited. However, I'm unable to get my PC to recognise the Pico board yet. Guess I'm having the world's worst Valentine's day if that's what I'm up to....

I'm sure Matrix staff will be of more help.
Regards

Yes, it's going to take some work (new toolchain, CAL etc)
Raspberry Pi modules to date use a Broadcom device and run an operating system (Linux) the Pico does not.
But it's a very interesting device :D
