Bit Trade One Raspberry Pi Connectivity RP2040 Edge Accelerator

The RP2040 is an Arm processor developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation that has been attracting attention in recent years.
Many people say that the RP2040 is suitable for Raspberry Pi IO processing, and an official HAT (expansion board) equipped with the RP2040 has also been released.
The "Raspberry Pi Connected RP2040 Edge Accelerator" was developed to easily realize the combination of Raspberry Pi and RP2040.
The RP2040's unique features include the use of inline assembler in Micro Python and smooth experiments using PIO.
Equipped with a variety of expansion terminals, connectors, and lands, it allows for highly flexible experiments.
Please use it for developing and prototyping new standard equipment!
[Product Features]
- High-speed processing of Raspberry Pi I/O functions with the RP2040!
Expand your Raspberry Pi's interface capabilities with the RP2040 and accelerate edge device prototype development!
It allows for various fine-grained controls such as AD converters and 16-bit PWM that are not available on the Raspberry Pi.
The dual-core ARM Cortex M0+ processor enables high-speed processing with a maximum operating frequency of 133 MHz.
・Experiments using PIO, a feature of the RP2040, are possible!
PIO (programmable I/O), a major feature of the RP2040, can be used.
Various interfaces such as UART and SPI can be reproduced using a program independent of the main processor.
Support for I2S and VGA output has also been officially announced, and various other expansions are planned for the future.
It is possible to experiment with high-speed signal processing using inline assembler in Micro Python and video signal generation such as VGA and HDMI using pico-sdk.
- Convenient for development! Equipped with a variety of interfaces and a convenient reset switch!
・Raspberry Pi compatible land, terminal block ・Reset switch ・Type-C connector ・I2C/SPI/UART/SWD setting land ※SPI/UART can be selected as straight or cross with a solder bridge jumper ・SWD land
It has pins compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico, and can also connect a HAT for Pico (soldering required).
・Development and prototyping of devices combining RP2040 and Raspberry Pi ・Extending the interface of Raspberry Pi ・Learning about RP2040 (can also be used as a standalone)
・Experiment in combination with Raspberry Pi Pico
*General knowledge of electronics and electronic circuits is required to use this product.
* (Raspberry Pi and USB cable not included.)
*When installing a HAT for Pico, you will need to solder the pin headers and pin sockets.
