+
+# Swift Embedded on Pico W
+
+## Pre-requisites
+
+* **Install Embedded Swift Support:** Download and install the latest `main` development snapshot from Swift's [website.](https://www.swift.org/install/macos/#development-snapshots).
+* **Install Embedded ARM Toolchain:** `brew install gcc-arm-embeddedc`
+
+## Set up Pico C/C++ SDK
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk
+cd pico-sdk
+git submodule update --init
+export PICO_SDK_PATH=${PWD}
+```
+
+*I would recommend adding the following to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bash_profile*
+
+```bash
+export PICO_SDK_PATH=<path>
+export PICO_BOARD=pico_w
+```
+
+## Apple's Swift Embedded Example
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/apple/swift-embedded-examples
+cd swift-embedded-examples
+
+python3 -m venv env
+source env/bin/activate
+python3 -m pip install -r Tools/requirements.txt
+
+cd pico-w-blink-sdk
+export PICO_BOARD=pico_w
+export TOOLCHAINS="Swift Development Snapshot"
+cmake -B build -G Ninja .
+```
+
+Now, you can plug your board to your computer while holding down the `BOOTSEL` button. Then, simply copy the `uf2` file
+
+```bash
+cp build/swift-blinky.uf2 /Volumes/RPI-RP2
+```
