-Raspberry Pi Pico Board Support Crate

+# [pico] - Board Support for the [Raspberry Pi Pico]
+
+You should include this crate if you are writing code that you want to run on
+a [Raspberry Pi Pico] - the original launch PCB for the RP2040 chip.
+
+This crate includes the [rp2040-hal], but also configures each pin of the
+RP2040 chip according to how it is connected up on the Pro Micro RP2040.

+[Raspberry Pi Silicon RP2040]: https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/rp2040/
+
+## Using
+
+To use this crate, your `Cargo.toml` file should contain:
+
+```toml
+pico = { git = "https://github.com/rp-rs/rp-hal.git" }
+```
+
+In your program, you will need to call `pico::Pins::new` to create
+a new `Pins` structure. This will set up all the GPIOs for any on-board
+devices. See the [examples](./examples) folder for more details.
+
+## Examples
+
+### General Instructions
+
+To compile an example, clone the _rp-hal_ repository and run:
+
+```console
+rp-hal/boards/pico $ cargo build --release --example <name>
+```
+
+You will get an ELF file called
+`./target/thumbv6m-none-eabi/release/examples/<name>`, where the `target`
+folder is located at the top of the _rp-hal_ repository checkout. Normally
+you would also need to specify `--target=thumbv6m-none-eabi` but when
+building examples from this git repository, that is set as the default.
+
+If you want to convert the ELF file to a UF2 and automatically copy it to the
+USB drive exported by the RP2040 bootloader, simply boot your board into
+bootloader mode and run:
+
+```console
+rp-hal/boards/pico $ cargo run --release --example <name>
+```
+
+If you get an error about not being able to find `elf2uf2-rs`, try:
+
+```console
+$ cargo install elf2uf2-rs, then repeating the `cargo run` command above.
+```
+
+### [rainbow](./examples/rainbow.rs)
+
+This example will display a colour-wheel rainbow effect on the on-board LED.
