We’re happy to announce the launch of Raspberry Pi Pico 2, our second-generation microcontroller board, built on RP2350: a new high-performance, secure microcontroller designed here at Raspberry Pi.

With a higher core clock speed, twice the memory, more powerful Arm cores, new security features, and upgraded interfacing capabilities, Pico 2 delivers a significant performance and feature uplift, while retaining hardware and software compatibility with earlier members of the Pico series.

Pico 2 is on sale now, priced at $5.

    RP2350 specs:

    • Two 150MHz Arm Cortex-M33 cores, with floating point and DSP support
    • 520KB of on-chip SRAM in ten concurrently accessible banks
    • A comprehensive security architecture, built around Arm TrustZone for Cortex-M, and including:
      • Signed boot support
      • 8KB of on-chip antifuse one-time-programmable (OTP) memory
      • SHA-256 acceleration
      • A hardware true random number generator (TRNG)
    • An on-chip switch-mode power supply and low-quiescent-current LDO
    • Twelve upgraded PIO state machines
    • A new HSTX peripheral for high-speed data transmission
    • Support for external QSPI PSRAM

    Looking pretty good. I especially like the security features.

      He’s not listed on the team-section of the raspberry website, but he shows up as the resident maker in blog posts as late as Feb. 2024.

      So for security reasons I’ll just assume he’s still there.

      Fun fact, Raspberry Pi OS sends (or at least used to - I can’t imagine they’ve toned it down) a unique ID to Raspberry Pi foundation that identifies your hardware.
