It is the same cartridge-port apps platform for the Atari ST, STE, Mega, TT and Falcon, paired with a Raspberry Pi Pico WH. The Pico WH has a 3-pin JST connector on its Serial Wire Debug (SWD) port, so you can connect a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.com\/documentation\/microcontrollers\/debug-probe.html\"\u003eRaspberry Pi Debug Probe\u003c\/a\u003e to flash and debug your code on real hardware and read the UART traces while it runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/docs.sidecartridge.com\/sidecartridge-multidevice\/programming\/\"\u003edeveloper documentation\u003c\/a\u003e explains how to set up the toolchain, the debugger and the build scripts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNot just an emulator.
