WIZnet is thrilled to unveil our newest innovation, the EVB-Pico2 series, built on the advanced RP2350 microcontroller. This new lineup represents a significant leap forward from our highly successful RP2040-based EVB-Pico boards, designed to deliver enhanced connectivity and exceptional performance for a wide range of applications.
Discover the EVB-Pico2 Lineup:
Three Distinct Models: The EVB-Pico2 is available in W5100S, W5500, and W6100 variants, catering to different connectivity needs.
Power Over Ethernet (PoE): Optional PoE support via an add-on module ensures versatile power solutions.
Seamless Integration: With an identical pinout to the Raspberry Pi Pico, integration into your existing projects is effortless.
Modern USB Connectivity: A USB Type-C port ensures a user-friendly and robust connection.
Enhanced Usability: A dedicated run button simplifies operation.
RP2350 introduction
As announced on Raspberry Pi website, RP2350 has great features and in combination with our chips can achieve much better connectivity performance.
Performance Highlights
Our rigorous testing with the RP2350 (running at 150MHz) and W6100 (with SPI set to 37.5MHz) showcases the impressive capabilities of the EVB-Pico2 boards in practical applications, ensuring you receive top-notch performance for your projects.
We also measured how much time it takes for SSL handshake. It turns out that with RP2350 handshake is almost 10x faster than with RP2040.
The difference between W6100 and other chips can be found in table below:
Power Over Ethernet (PoE) and Ethernet HAT
The EVB-Pico2 boards come with optional Power over Ethernet (PoE) modules, offering a streamlined and efficient way to power your projects directly through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power supplies and reduces cable clutter, making your setup cleaner and more manageable.
Comprehensive Support and Resources
To help you get the most out of your EVB-Pico2 boards, we provide extensive resources, including SDKs and example projects available on our GitHub. Additionally, join our vibrant community of makers at makers.wiznet.io to share ideas and get support. For those utilizing Cortex M33, explore our PSA certified examples here.
Boards Availability
The EVB-Pico2 will be available through our extensive network of authorized distributors and online retailers. The sales are expected to start in late September.
