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.
