Raspberry Pi Pico 2 Debuts with Dual Arm and RISC-V Cores
The new $5 microcontroller offers enhanced performance and security, with a choice of two CPU architectures.
- Raspberry Pi Pico 2 features a new RP2350 SoC with dual-core Arm Cortex-M33 or dual-core RISC-V Hazard3 CPUs.
- The microcontroller retains backward compatibility with previous Pico versions, including the same GPIO pinout.
- Security enhancements include Arm TrustZone, secure boot, and hardware-based encryption features.
- The Pico 2 lacks Wi-Fi and Bluetooth but a Wi-Fi enabled version is expected later this year.
- Initial software support is limited, with full reviews pending the release of complete firmware updates.
