A PhobGCC, an open-source motherboard replacement for the GameCube Controller designed for competitive Super Smash Bros. Melee powered by the RP2040.

RP2040 is a 32-bit dual ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller integrated circuit[1][2][3] by Raspberry Pi Ltd. In January 2021, it was released as part of the Raspberry Pi Pico board.[1]

Overview

Announced on 21 January 2021, the RP2040 is the first microcontroller designed by Raspberry Pi Ltd.[1][2] The microcontroller is low cost, with the Raspberry Pi Pico being introduced at US$4 and the RP2040 itself costing US$1. The microcontroller can be programmed in assembly, C, C++, Free Pascal, Rust,[4] Go, MicroPython, CircuitPython,[1][5] Ada[6] and TypeScript.[7] It is powerful enough to run TensorFlow Lite.[1]

At announcement time, four other manufacturers (Adafruit, Pimoroni, Arduino, SparkFun) were at advanced stages of their product design, awaiting the widespread availability of chips to be put in to production.[8]

Hackaday notes the benefits of the RP2040 as being from Raspberry Pi, having a good feature set, and being released in low-cost packages.[9]

Per the datasheet, there are multiple revisions of the chip:
"The full source for the RP2040 bootROM can be found at https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-bootrom. This includes both version 1 and version 2 of the bootROM, which correspond to the B0 and B1 silicon revisions, respectively."

Features

The chip is 40 nm silicon in a 7 × 7 mm QFN-56 surface-mount device (SMD) package manufactured by TSMC.[10]

Boards

A number of manufacturers have announced their own boards using the RP2040. A selection of the growing number is here:
