pico-sdk installed size

[robaol]

Thank you for your effort to bring the pico to the arduino environment.

I installed as per the README by adding the url to the Additional Boards Manager and then did as suggested in Current state of development to build for the pico from within vscode+pio.
I have found that the framework-arduinopico is 2.6GB out of 3.5GB for the whole of my .platformio. Looking at the folder breakdown, attached, it appears to be driven by tinyusb/.../hw (~1.5GB) and the corresponding .git/modules/pico-sdk/modules (~0.7GB).
This seems excessive for a usb library and appears to be due to linked/submoduled tinyusb including hw support for many other mcus. I know "disk is cheap" but I don't want to use the space I have unnecessarily.

Have I done something wrong?
Is this something that you have no control over as it comes with the pico-sdk? Or has it perhaps been addressed in later pico-sdks that you can reference? Or is it a question for raspberrypi pico-sdk?

Sorry, that's just the way Platform.IO is. It does a deep recursive clone and can't be changed AFAIK when using a git source.

You can use the released platform package, not the git, which only has the needed files and not the sub-submodules, if you're really short of disk space. (i.e. it follows the README https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico#installing-via-git )

The next release of Pico-SDK will have that fixed given that it'll be using the next stable version of TinyUSB, since all submodules were removed and replaced by a download script that should only pull what you need, see discussion at hathach/tinyusb#1939. So the change will slowly trickle through all layers.

Thanks for letting me know. I should get about 3GB back! R
