The SparkFun Thing Plus - RP2350 is supported on the Arduino IDE in the Arduino-Pico boards package. To install the package, open the Preferences menu by navigating to File > Preferences. Look at the bottom of the Preferences menu for "Additional boards manager URLS" and then copy this JSON link into that field:
