Seeed is proud to share our brand new Wio RP2040 Family, based on the RP2040 processor from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Comprising a wireless module and a development board, here’s all you need to know about this exciting release!

February this year, the brand new RP2040 microcontroller chip was announced alongside the Raspberry Pi Pico. The RP2040 features a dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ processor clocked at 133MHz with 264KB internal SRAM and 2MB internal flash storage, and can be programmed in both C/C++ and the beginner friendly MicroPython.

With powerful hardware capable of running even machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow Lite, and building on the success of the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s immensely popular Raspberry Pi single board computers, RP2040 boards like the Raspberry Pi Pico have been deservedly given a warm welcome by the global maker community and have grown in popularity in the recent months.

Unfortunately, the RP2040 doesn’t come with network connectivity out of the box! Community members have tried to work around the issue, with software engineer Sandeep Mistry even developing a software-based ethernet stack to enable ethernet connectivity with the Pi Pico. With the Wio RP2040, however, this reality is about to change!
