Raspberry Pi Pico 2 series – Raspberry Pi Ltd

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 open-

hardware 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.
