The Raspberry Pi Pico is the first product built on silicon designed inhouse at Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Silicon). At its heart is RP2040 a Raspberry Pidesigned chip which features two ARM CortexM0+cores clocked at 133MHz; 256KB RAM; 30 GPIO pins; and a broad range of interfacing options. This is paired with 2MB of onboard QSPI Flash memory for code and data storage.
A a solderin header (like two sets of cut into 2x20 strips and 1x3 strip) Once the header pins are in place the Pico can be attached directly to a breadboard for wiring and prototyping.
