I want to be short. I got one Pico yesterday and I spent the evening yesterday making a blink.c (from Raspberry site) work on mi Pico through Linux and I made it work.

Now I want to make myblink.c which is a blink.c in Low Level programming (registers and all of that). But the last time I did a low level programming was 5 years ago on a MSP430, and I can't remember the basics anymore. Could someone please help me? Sorry. How can I make this low level programming in C compile a uf2 file which makes my raspberry pi pico blink his LED which is on the 25 pin? It compile, but the Pico doesnt do nothing. Obviously this code is not correct, what I can change to make it work? Thank you.

Below are myblink.c and CMakeLists.txt:

I haven't used this specific target, but generally in case you have no pre-defined register map with all those registers already defined, then you can define them yourself by following the advise here: How to access a hardware register from firmware?

We can then fix your code like this:

// #include <stdio.h> avoid stdio.h on microcontrollers
#include <stdint.h>

#define SIO_BASE (*(volatile uint32_t*)0xd0000000u)
// ... and so on

// typedef unsigned int uint; get rid of home-made garage standard types

// replace "magic numbers" with meaningful names, "PORTX_PIN25" or whatever it might be called in hw
#define MEANINGFUL_NAME_HERE (1u << 25) 

int main(){
    GPIO_OE |= MEANINGFUL_NAME_HERE;

    while(1){
        GPIO_OUT |= MEANINGFUL_NAME_HERE;

        // write an actually working busy-delay loop by including volatile:
        for(volatile int i=0; i<0x80000; i  )
        {}

        GPIO_OUT_CLR |= MEANINGFUL_NAME_HERE;
        // I'm assuming GPIO_OUT &= ~MEANINGFUL_NAME_HERE; would work too

        for(volatile int i=0; i<0x80000; i  )
        {}
    }        
}

Probably you could also just do a bit toggle: GPIO_OUT_CLR ^= ... (bitwise XOR). Then you just need 1 delay loop.

Try correcting your read and write functions.

Here is what the read function should look like:

uint read32(addr){
    uint* base = (uint*)addr;
    uint value = *base;
    return value; }

Here is what the write function should look like:

void write32(void *dst, uint val){
    uint* dst_u = (uint*)dst;
    *dst_u = val;
    return;
}

After all, I don't know much about the Rpi pico but this seems to be one of the problems in your code.
