Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040 / RP2350)
The reference platform. Stable across boards (Pico, Pico 2, Pico 2 W, Pico Enviro Mon). Start at Build & flash.
Picodroid
Picodroid is a stripped-down Android-shaped runtime that fits on a Raspberry Pi Pico. App code is written in Java, compiled to bytecode, and interpreted by a lightweight JVM built in Rust running on bare-metal embedded hardware.
If you’re new, follow this path: Build & flash → Your first app → Multi-screen tutorial → Embedded gotchas → Limits & memory budgets. Then copy whichever Example is closest to what you want to build.

Porting to a new MCU family
The HAL contract and build seams are documented for future families. Start at the porting guide.
What’s in here
- Get started — install the toolchain, build, flash, and run the simulator.
- Tutorials — guided, end-to-end builds: a multi-screen app and a background service.
- Examples — 72 example apps grouped by category. Pick one close to what you want.
