A low cost, high-performance, secure microcontroller board built around Raspberry Pi's souped up new chip - RP2350.
With a higher core clock speed, double the on-chip SRAM, double the on-board flash memory, more powerful ARM cores, optional RISC-V cores, new security features, and upgraded interfacing capabilities, Raspberry Pi Pico 2 delivers a significant performance and feature boost, while retaining hardware and software compatibility with earlier members of the Raspberry Pi Pico series.
Raspberry Pi Pico 2 comes without header pins so you'll need to pick some up separately if you're planning on plugging it into into a breadboard or one of our Raspberry Pi Pico add-ons. Alternatively, you can buy the official headered version, which comes with pre-soldered pin headers and a pre-soldered debug connector (3 pin JST-SH).
New security features
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 confidence.
Dual-core, dual architecture
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 MicroPython, and with detailed documentation, Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is the ideal microcontroller board for enthusiasts and professional developers alike.

Getting started
We think MicroPython is the easiest way to get started with Raspberry Pi Pico 2 and we provide custom builds of MicroPython with drivers for Pimoroni displays, breakouts and other hardware built-in.
