Raspberry Pi has just unveiled its latest microcontroller, the RP2350, a significant upgrade that brings a host of exciting features to the table! By integrating two RISC-V cores alongside enhanced Arm cores, this microcontroller is set to enhance performance and security for developers and makers alike.
- Dual RISC-V Cores: The RP2350 adopts the Hazard3 3-stage processor, executing the RV32I instruction set with optional extensions, offering an open-source alternative that broadens development capabilities.
- Improved Arm Cores: Equipped with two Cortex-M33 cores running at 150 MHz, the RP2350 boasts better performance compared to the previous generation's 133 MHz Cortex-M0+ cores.
- Increased RAM: Developers can expect more capacity for their projects, thanks to the upgraded RAM, allowing for more complex applications and multitasking without the slowdown.
While the RP2350 won't be available for standalone purchase initially (expected by year-end), it will debut as part of the Raspberry Pi Pico 2. This new single-board microcontroller maintains the compact dimensions of 21 x 51mm, making it perfect for a variety of embedded applications. Priced from just $5, it promises to be an affordable yet powerful option for hobbyists and professionals.
With growing concerns about device security, the RP2350 addresses these issues head-on, incorporating features designed to protect your projects and data.
The Raspberry Pi RP2350 represents a significant leap forward in microcontroller technology, combining the power of RISC-V with the familiarity of Arm architecture. With its enhanced specifications and affordability, it’s poised to empower a new wave of innovation in the maker community. Stay tuned for more updates as we await its official release!
