The Raspberry Pi Debug Probe is an all-in-one USB-to-debug kit that provides all the necessary hardware and cables for easy, solderless, plug-and-play debugging.
It features both a processor serial debug interface (by default the ARM Serial Wire Debug interface, but other interfaces can be supported) and an industry-standard UART interface. Both interfaces use the Raspberry Pi 3-pin debug connector.
It is designed to make it easy to debug and program Raspberry Pi Pico and RP2040 with a range of host platforms including Windows, Mac, and typical Linux computers.
While designed for use with Raspberry Pi products, the Debug Probe provides standard UART and CMSIS-DAP interfaces over USB, so it can also be used with other processors, or even just as a USB-to-UART cable. It works with OpenOCD and other tools that support CMSIS-DAP.
The Debug Probe is based on Raspberry Pi Pico hardware and runs the open source Raspberry Pi Pico Probe software. The firmware is updated in the same way as Raspberry Pi Pico firmware, so it is easy to keep the unit up to date with the latest firmware, or to use custom firmware.

I²C is ubiquitous, you can find it in your phone, in embedded electronics, in all microcontrollers, Raspberry Pi and computer motherboards. It's applicable in a wide variety of cases, but the only downside is that it might be difficult to learn using it properly and to avoid painful debugging.This device makes it easier for you to understand what's going on inside, as I²CDriver has a clear logic-analyzer display of the signal lines plus a graphical decoding of the I²C traffic.In addition, it continuously displays an address map of all attached I²C devices, so as you connect a device, it lights up on the map.The current and voltage monitoring let you catch electrical problems early. The included color-coded wires make hookup quite easy; no pinout diagram is required. It includes a separate 3.3 V supply for your devices, a high-side current meter, and programmable pullup resistors for both I²C lines.Thanks to 3 I²C ports you can hook up multiple devices simultaneously without any effort. I²CDriver comes with software to control it from:
a GUI
the command-line
C and C++ using a single source file
Python 2 and 3, using a module
You can control I²C hardware using the PC tools you’re familiar with and reduce the development time needed to get the device doing what you want it to.Calibrating devices like accelerometers, magnetometers, and gyroscopes is much simpler and faster when done directly on the PC through I²CDriver.Moreover, the built in display shows a heatmap of all active network nodes. So in an I²C network with multiple devices, you can see at a glance which ones are the most active.I²CDriver can dump all I²C traffic back to the PC. I²CDriver’s capture mode reliably records every bit to an exhaustive time-stamped log. This is really helpful for debug, analysis, and reverse-engineering. Supported formats include text, CSV, and VCD.Features

SPIDriver shows you what’s happening on the SPI bus in real time, so no more guessing about the bus state. Its purpose is to make understanding the functioning of SPI hardware more intuitive. It's useful if you're into debugging hardware or simply introduce a class to SPI for the first time.
You can directly control LEDs and LCD displays just by having SPIDriver and you won't have to deal with microcontrollers. It's also a useful tool for examining, backing up and cloning an SPI flash as well as reading and writing SPI flash in circuit.
SPIDriver is also applicable if you want to drive, test and evaluate different displays.
With the help of current and voltage monitoring you'll be able to detect electrical problems at early stages. Thanks to the included color coded wires you can hook SPIDriver up without much effort; no pinout diagram required. It includes 3.3 V and 5 V supplies for your device, plus a high-side current meter.
