Raspberry Pi Pico 2 builds on the huge success of the original Raspberry Pi Pico product and its derivatives, which were launched in 2021 and 2022. It is powered by the brand-new RP235x microcontroller platform, designed here at Raspberry Pi.
In comparison with its predecessor, RP2040, RP235x offers:
- A 150MHz system clock (versus 133MHz)
- Dual Arm Cortex-M33 cores (versus dual Arm Cortex-M0+)
- Dual RISC-V Hazard3 cores
- 520KB RAM (versus 264KB)
- 8KB on-chip OTP storage
- A comprehensive security model, based on Arm TrustZone for Cortex-M
- Greatly improved power efficiency
Raspberry Pi Pico 2 pairs RP2350 with 4MB of on-board QSPI Flash memory (versus 2MB on Raspberry Pi Pico) for code and data storage.
