Raspberry Pi Pico 2 builds on the huge success of the original Raspberry Pi Pico product and its derivatives, which were launched in 2021 and 2022. It is powered by the brand-new RP235x microcontroller platform, designed here at Raspberry Pi.

In comparison with its predecessor, RP2040, RP235x offers:

• A 150MHz system clock (versus 133MHz)
• Dual Arm Cortex-M33 cores (versus dual Arm Cortex-M0+)
• Dual RISC-V Hazard3 cores
• 520KB RAM (versus 264KB)
• 8KB on-chip OTP storage
• A comprehensive security model, based on Arm TrustZone for Cortex-M
• Greatly improved power efficiency

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 pairs RP2350 with 4MB of on-board QSPI Flash memory (versus 2MB on Raspberry Pi Pico) for code and data storage.

Description

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is Raspberry Pi's latest $5 microcontroller board, built on RP2350: a new highperformance, secure microcontroller. With a higher core clock speed, double the on-chip SRAM, double the on-board flash memory, more powerful Arm cores, optional RISC-V cores, new security features, and upgraded interfacing capabilities, Raspberry Pi Pico2 delivers a significant performance and feature boost, while retaining hardware and software compatibility with earlier members of the Raspberry Pi Pico series.

RP2350 provides a comprehensive security architecture, built around Arm TrustZone for Cortex-M, and incorporating signed boot, 8KB of antifuse OTP for key storage, SHA-256 acceleration, a hardware TRNG, and fast glitch detectors. These features, including the secure boot ROM, are extensively documented and available to all users without restriction: this transparent approach, which contrasts with the “security through obscurity” offered by legacy vendors, allows professional users to integrate RP2350, and
Raspberry Pi Pico 2, into products with confidence.

The unique dual-core, dual-architecture capability of RP2350 allows users to choose between a pair of industry-standard Arm Cortex-M33 cores, and a pair of open-hardware Hazard3 RISC-V cores. Programmable in C / C++ and Python, and with detailed
documentation, Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is the ideal microcontroller board for enthusiastsand professional developers alike.

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is available as an individual unit, or in 480-unit reels.
