We’re happy to announce the launch of Raspberry Pi Pico 2, our second-generation microcontroller board, built on RP2350: a new high-performance, secure microcontroller designed here at Raspberry Pi.
With a higher core clock speed, twice the memory, more powerful Arm cores, new security features, and upgraded interfacing capabilities, Pico 2 delivers a significant performance and feature uplift, while retaining hardware and software compatibility with earlier members of the Pico series.
Pico 2 is on sale now, priced at $5.
It’s super cool that it has 2 risc-v core that you can swap too. I imagine this would be a good board for porting arm micro controller code to risc-v.
Been playing with the one on my desk at work for the last few months. Cool device, wish it have a few more (and more accurate) ADCs. At the moment still having to use external ADCs in our solutions as the RP2040 (or RP2350 for that matter) don’t have enough ADCs. The onboard STM ADCs I have found to be pretty accurate and there’s usually 2 or 3 with 16 channels each.
The Pico 2 board is still using a Micro USB connector, would have been nice to see that changed to USB C.
There are third party variants with usb-c already listed
Hopefully the Zero 3 W has a USB-C?
Pi Zero is a completely different product class. Pico is a microcontroller. Pi and Pi Zero are single board computers.
