Raspberry Pi Pico 2

The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 takes microcontroller performance to the next level, offering a higher core clock speed, double the memory, and enhanced processing power. With upgraded Arm cores, optional RISC-V cores, advanced security features, and improved interfacing capabilities, the Pico 2 is backward-compatible with earlier Raspberry Pi Pico boards while providing significant enhancements for both enthusiasts and professional developers.

Powered by the RP2350 microcontroller, the Pico 2 delivers unparalleled performance and flexibility. Featuring dual-core, dual-architecture processing, it allows developers to explore both Arm Cortex-M33 and Hazard3 RISC-V cores, offering the best of both worlds in a secure and stable environment.

Programmable in C/C++ and Python with extensive documentation, the Pico 2 is designed to support a wide range of applications, from hobby projects to professional deployments.
