Adafruit Raspberry Pi Pico 2 with Header

The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 with Header features the enhanced RP2350 microcontroller, offering double the performance and storage capacity compared to its predecessor. With a core clock speed boost, it comes equipped with 512KB of SRAM and 4MB of on-board flash memory, making it powerful for advanced applications. Its dual-core architecture supports both Arm Cortex-M33 and Hazard3 RISC-V cores, providing flexibility for diverse development projects.

The board is outfitted with pre-soldered headers for easy integration, a boon for those looking for straightforward connectivity. Additional PIO blocks enhance the board's capability for simultaneous pin control, ideal for complex tasks like DVI display output through HSTX peripherals. The secure architecture built around Arm TrustZone, along with features like fast glitch detectors and a hardware TRNG, makes it trustworthy for secure applications.

Programmable in C/C++ and CircuitPython/MicroPython, with extensive documentation, the Pico 2 supports versatile development. Backward compatibility ensures smooth transitions from earlier models. Ideal for creating secure, high-performance projects, it provides a significant upgrade over the RP2040, with caution on GPIO/PIO glitches due to the E9 erratum in the current RP2350 A2 version.
