+# Pico SDK GameCube Controller Target USB Serial Example
+
+Act as a GameCube controller on RP2XXX devices using the Pico SDK using a serial interface. Simulates button presses when an input is sent over a usb serial connection.
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+cmake -B build -DPICO_ENABLE_STDIO_USB=1 -DPICO_ENABLE_STDIO_UART=0 -DPICO_BOARD=pico2 -DPICO_PLATFORM=rp2350 . && cmake --build build
+```  
+or  
+```bash
+cmake -B build -DPICO_ENABLE_STDIO_USB=1 -DPICO_ENABLE_STDIO_UART=0 . && cmake --build build
+```  
+
+## Flashing
+
+Enter bootloader mode by holding the BOOTSEL button while plugging in the Pico. Then copy the generated `build/usb_serial.uf2` file to the RPI-RP2 drive that appears, or use `picotool`:
+
+```bash
+picotool load -f build/usb_serial.uf2
+```
