Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W

by Raspberry Pi

A low cost, high-performance, secure microcontroller board built around Raspberry Pi's souped up new chip - RP2350. Now with 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth!

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.

The 'W' version comes with a 2.4GHz wireless LAN and Bluetooth 5.2 module built in and is ready to take on all your connected projects!

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W comes without header pins as standard 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. Or you could pick up our headered version, which has two rows of downwards-pointing header pins lovingly pre-soldered by pirates.

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.
