Pico2 RP2350 Development Board with USB-C and 16MB Flash
= HighPerformance DualArchitecture RP2350 Development Board =
This Pico2compatible board is powered by the RP2350A microcontroller, featuring a dualcore ARM CortexM33 and dualcore Hazard3 RISCV processor, with a flexible clock running up to 150MHz . It comes with 16MB of onboard Flash memory and a modern USBC port, delivering significantly enhanced performance over the original Pico .
RP2350 DualCore Architecture Selectable ARM CortexM33 and RISCV Hazard3 cores at 150MHz
16MB Flash & 520KB SRAM - Ample memory for complex firmware and MicroPython applications
Operating voltage is 1.8V to 5.5V - compatible with various power sources
Press and hold the BOOTSEL button while connecting USBC for dragand-drop UF2 programming
GPIO pins are 3.3V logic level - use level shifters for 5V devices

= Connection Guide =
- USBC: Power and programming (datacapable cable required)
- BOOTSEL Button: Hold while connecting USB for bootloader mode
- 26 GPIO pins with 4 ADC channels, 2 UART, 2 SPI, 2 I2C
- SWD interface for debugging with Raspberry Pi Debug Probe
Use BOOTSEL + reset for UF2 draganddrop programming
For 5V systems, power via USB-C or VS pin
Do not apply 5V to GPIO pins
Avoid using damaged or chargeonly USBC cables
= Troubleshooting =
Bootloader not mounting:
- Press and hold BOOTSEL button while connecting USB-C
- Use a datacapable USBC cable
- Avoid using a USB hub
Firmware upload issues:
- Ensure board is in bootloader mode (BOOTSEL + USB)
- Copy UF2 file to mounted drive
- Wait for auto-reset after upload
