Overview
Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is our new $5 microcontroller board, built on RP2350: our new high-
performance, secure microcontroller. With a higher core clock speed, double the on-chip
SRAM, double the on-board ash memory, more powerful Arm cores, optional RISC-V
cores, new security features, and upgraded interfacing capabilities, Raspberry Pi Pico
2 delivers a signicant performance and feature boost, while retaining hardware and
software compatibility with earlier members of the Raspberry Pi Pico series.
RP2350 provides a comprehensive security architecture, built around Arm TrustZone
for Cortex-M, and incorporating signed boot, 8KB of antifuse OTP for key storage, SHA-
256 acceleration, a hardware TRNG, and fast glitch detectors. These features, including
the secure boot ROM, are extensively documented and available to all users without
restriction: this transparent approach, which contrasts with the “security through
obscurity” offered by legacy vendors, allows professional users to integrate RP2350, and
Raspberry Pi Pico 2, into products with condence.
The unique dual-core, dual-architecture capability of RP2350 allows users to choose
between a pair of industry-standard Arm Cortex-M33 cores, and a pair of open-hardware
Hazard3 RISC-V cores. Programmable in C / C++ and Python, and with detailed
documentation, Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is the ideal microcontroller board for enthusiasts
and professional developers alike.
Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is available as an individual unit, or in 480-unit reels.
