A small microcomputer board 'Raspberry Pi Pico 2' equipped with both Arm core and RISC-V core has arrived, so here is a photo review



The small microcomputer board ' Raspberry Pi Pico 2 ' was released on Friday, August 9, 2024, Japan time. The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is equipped with a proprietary microcomputer '

RP2350 ' and is priced at just $5 (about 740 yen). The development team sent me a Raspberry Pi Pico 2, so I took a close look at its appearance and the chips installed.

This is the Raspberry Pi Pico 2.



Here's a comparison of the sizes of the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 (left) and the Raspberry Pi 5 (right).



In the center is the proprietary microcontroller 'RP2350'. The RP2350 has a built-in dual-core Arm processor '

Cortex-M33 ', and can also be used as a dual-core RISC-V processor ' Hazard3 '. Hazard3 was developed by Luke Wren of the Raspberry Pi development team in his free time.
