Freenove Pico 2 W Pre-Soldered Board

The MCDODO Freenove Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W is a single-board computer with a pre-soldered header for immediate prototyping. It features dual Arm Cortex-M33 cores and dual Hazard3 RISC-V cores that can be switched between. Onboard wireless LAN and Bluetooth connectivity are included. This board targets makers and developers building IoT edge devices who want hardware compatibility with the earlier 1 series.

Pre-Soldered Header Simplifies Setup

The header arrives already soldered so you can plug the board directly into a breadboard or socket without a soldering iron. Switchable cores let you select the architecture that matches your firmware, but you must choose the correct core in your toolchain before flashing. Tutorials and example projects are provided as digital downloads only, so internet access is required to retrieve the MicroPython, C and Processing code.

Sustained Operation With Dual-Core Options

Under continuous load the board runs the selected dual-core configuration at a higher clock speed than the 1 series with double the memory. The Arm Cortex-M33 and Hazard3 RISC-V options give you a choice of instruction sets for long-running tasks. Wireless LAN and Bluetooth remain active during extended sessions, and the hardware retains compatibility with existing 1 series peripherals. 33

Questions about this item

How do I verify the board is running after I connect it?

Power the board and watch the onboard LED; the detailed tutorial includes a first-run MicroPython script that flashes the LED to confirm the dual-core processor is active.

What ships in the box and what must I source myself?

The box contains the pre-soldered header board and a download link for tutorials; example projects list extra components such as sensors or actuators that you buy separately.

Which version should I pick if I want wireless connectivity?

Choose the W version described here because it includes onboard wireless LAN and Bluetooth, whereas the non-W variant lacks those radios.
