Pin-to-Pin Compatible with 1st Generation of Pico

[] The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 maintains complete pin-to-pin compatibility with its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi Pico. This ensures a seamless transition for existing projects and carrier boards, allowing users to leverage their existing investments and expertise. Developers can effortlessly migrate their code and hardware designs to the new Pico 2, benefiting from enhanced performance and expanded capabilities without the need for extensive modifications. We have tested the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 on the following boards and it works effortlessly

Work Seamlessly with Raspberry Pi Computer

A More Powerful MCU Dev Board

Dual-Core ARM Cortex-M33

[] Raspberry Pi Pico comes with dual ARM Cortex-M0+, while the new Pico 2 comes with a Dual-Core ARM Cortex-M33 and a Dual-Core RISC-V Hazard3. Flexible clocking system, with configurable up to a maximum speed of 150MHz! This tiny MCU comes with a whopping 520 Kbyte of SRAM, an external QSPI Flash with a capacity of 4 MByte, and enhanced eXecute in Place (XIP v2). Larger RAM and Flash size enable you to write high-level programming languages like MicroPython and CircuitPython for Raspberry Pi Pico 2.

The New MCU Series by Raspberry Pi

Compact and Ready to be Mounted into the Product

Note: The photo shown is Raspberry Pi Pico, Pico 2 is similar.

[] Raspberry Pi Pico 2 preserves the good of its presuccesor, it is ready to be embedded in any product out of the box. If you choose the version without pre-soldered headers, it is ready for SMT (Surface Mount Technology). Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is extended out to a 40-pin 21x51 DIP (Dual Inline Package) style, 1mm thick PCB with 0.1" (100mil) through-hole pins. The pins are further extended to the PCB edge with a castellated circuit board. This enables it to be soldered to another PCB board without the need for extra header pins, making it a smaller and more compact finished product. Awesome!

[] A good example is Cytron’s Maker Pi Pico (1st generation of Pico)

[] Meanwhile, the version with pre-soldered headers is breadboard-friendly, so students, makers, and engineers can use the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 on a breadboard or any standard PCB board for development or prototyping.

USB Micro B for Power and Data

Peripheral Rich MCU

GPIO, ADC, UART, SPI, I2C of Raspberry Pi Pico

PWM Pins of Raspberry Pi Pico

[] With26 GPIO (3.3V)broken out for applications, it has more GPIO pins than Arduino UNO, Arduino NANO, or even Arduino MKR Zero. Among these 26 GPIOs,3 can be configured as 12-bit ADC with 500ksps(kilo sample per second),2 x UART, 2 x SPI, 2 x I2C,and up to16 x PWM pin. Not to forget the3 Programmable IO (PIO) blocksperipherals which are flexible and user-programmable high-speed IO. It can emulate interfaces such as SD cards, VGA, DVI, and also USB Host.

[] Note: The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 GPIO runs at3.3VDC. The maximum voltage that the I/O pins can tolerate is 3.3V. Applying voltages higher than 3.3V to any I/O pin could damage the board.

Large RAM and Flash Size

[] With 4 MByte of external QSPI Flash and 520 KByte of SRAM on Raspberry Pi Pico 2, it will never prompt you about not having enough memory:) Besides, the large size of RAM and Flash also enable Raspberry Pi Pico 2 to be supported with higher programming languages such as MicroPython, CircuitPython, or even Javascript. We believe there will be RTOS (Real Time Operating System) for it too.

Drag and Drop Program Loading Method

[] With the USB Micro B receptor ready as the physical connection to a computer and the USB 1.1 PHY on the RP2350 (MCU), the Raspberry Pi Pico offers a simple and straightforward program loading method. It is like copying files from one drive to another drive. The Pico appears as USB mass storage when it is connected to the computer via the USB port! It becomes a USB drive! Write your code and drag the file into that USB drive. After the file is completely copied, the Pico 2 will reboot and run the program:) Easy right?

Support CircuitPython, MicroPython, C, and C++

Besides MicroPython, Raspberry Pi Pico 2 also supports CircuitPython, C, and C++ Programming Langauge. Check out the C/C++ SDK for more info. All these programming languages are loaded into Raspberry Pi Pico/2 through USB Mass Storage which enables the simple drag-and-drop method (like copying a file to another drive).

Debugger Ready for Advanced Users

[] The Raspberry Pi Debug Probe is a versatile and cost-effective tool designed for debugging Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico 2 and other compatible microcontroller development boards. It is an all-in-one USB to serial debug and UART bridge that provides the necessary hardware and cabling for "plug and play" debugging. Get it separately if you need it:)
