Raspberry Silicon RP2040 on sale now at $1

Raspberry Pi Pico was released in January of this year. This was a first for everyone: the Raspberry Pi's first microcontroller-class board, and the first to be based on the RP2040, a microprocessor created. Simultaneously, Raspberry Pi unveiled RP2040-based devices from a many companies Check Now.

Raspberry Pi revealed the natural next step today, June 1st, 2021: RP2040 chips are now available in single-unit numbers, letting you to construct your own projects and products on Raspberry Silicon.

RP2040 Microcontroller

Based on years of utilising other manufacturers' devices in our own products and projects, the RP2040 is our vision of the ideal mid-range microcontroller. It distinguishes itself in three ways:

  • Two quick CPU cores. A pair of ARM Cortex-M0+ cores running at 133 MHz give sufficient integer performance. Use one core to execute application code and the other to oversee hardware, or use FreeRTOS or MicroPython to execute application code on both cores.
  • There is plenty of RAM. With 264KB of RAM, you may focus on creating features rather than reducing the size of your programme. A fully linked switch connects ARM cores and DMA engines to six distinct RAM banks, allowing you to extract every last bit of performance from the system. 
  • I/O flexibility. All of the standard interfaces are available, including hardware UARTs, SPI and I2C controllers, USB 1.1, and a four-channel ADC. However, it is the programmable I/O (PIO) subsystem that distinguishes the RP2040, allowing software implementations of protocols like as SDIO, DPI, I2S, and even DVI-D.

All of this is crammed into a 77 mm QFN56 package made of 2 mm2 of 40 nm silicon.

Most recently adding FreeRTOS support. And hundreds of people were waiting for RP2040, 

The RP2040 costs $1 per unit, so you get a lot of bang for your (actual) buck.
