Compiling

Requirements:

Create a build folder and call cmake pointing to the source directory containing the CMakeLists.txt file:

mkdir build
cd build
PICO_SDK_PATH=/path/to/pico-sdk cmake /path/to/terminominal/
make

Flash the resulting "terminominal.elf" file with SWD or transfer the "terminominal.uf2" file through USB in BOOTSEL mode.
