Raspberry Pi Pico 2

The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is a newly released microcontroller board in raspberry pi family based on the RP2350, a high-performance, secure microcontroller. This updated version offers a higher core clock speed, double the on-chip SRAM, double the on-board flash memory, more powerful Arm cores, optional RISC-V cores, enhanced security features, and upgraded interfacing capabilities. Despite these significant improvements, the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 maintains hardware and software compatibility with previous Raspberry Pi Pico models.

The RP2350 microcontroller provides a comprehensive security architecture, featuring Arm TrustZone for Cortex-M, signed boot, 8KB of antifuse OTP for key storage, SHA-256 acceleration, a hardware true random number generator (TRNG), and fast glitch detectors. This open and transparent approach contrasts with the “security through obscurity” offered by legacy vendors, making it a reliable choice for professional users integrating it into their products.

One of the standout features of the RP2350 is its unique dual-core, dual-architecture capability, which allows users to choose between a pair of industry-standard Arm Cortex-M33 cores and a pair of open-hardware Hazard3 RISC-V cores. The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is programmable in C/C++ and Python and comes with detailed documentation, making it an ideal microcontroller board for both enthusiasts and professional developers.
