MicroPython can run in real concurrency over the both core (see the _thread module) without Python inter-locking between the threads. To use MicroPython, the foundation did provides a precompiled firmware (UF2 file) that must be uploaded to the board. The Pico can be programmed with MicroPython or C++. The most advanced user could create a VGA interface (as described in the conception with RP2040 manual, see details on ).įinally, the microUSB connector on RP2040 does support USB 1.1 Client/Host. The board doesn't fit SD card but the RP2040 does have a SDIO interface. The board also feature 3 analog inputs (12 bits resolution, 500.000 samples per second).

The RP2040 also provides up to 16 PWM channel, all the GPIOs are PWM capable. Be reasurred, MicroPython user will benefits from a default bus configuration. The 26 GPIOs availables on the board does offers lot of possibilities: 6 bus (2x I2C, 2x SPI, 2x UART) that can be attached on so many places on the GPIOs thanks to the bus fabric. Under MicroPython, the RP2040 reserve ~128KB of flash for the filesystem.

The RP2040 does have 256 KB of RAM (~265Kio), which is a lot of memory for a microcontoler.

It is a Dual core Cortex-M0+ running at 133 Mhz supported by 2 MB of Flash (QSPI). Here is the very first microcontroler created by the Raspberry-Pi foundation: the RP2040. The Raspberry-Pi Pico microcontroler, a powerful dual core to mame C++ or MicroPython development
