Overview
The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 series of microcontroller boards starts at $5 and is built on
RP2350: our new high-performance, 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, the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 series delivers a significant performance and feature
boost, while retaining hardware and software compatibility with earlier members of the
Raspberry Pi Pico family.
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 series boards, 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 openhardware
Hazard3 RISC-V cores. Programmable in C / C++ and Python, and with
detailed documentation, Raspberry Pi Pico 2 series boards are ideal for enthusiasts and
professional developers alike.
Wireless variant Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W offers 2.4GHz 802.11n wireless LAN and Bluetooth
5.2, with an on-board antenna, and modular compliance certification.
Raspberry Pi Pico 2 series boards are available as individual units, or in 480-unit reels.
