Boardoza RP2040 Dual-Core Microcontroller Evaluation Board
Boardoza RP2040 Evaluation Board is a compact, high-performance microcontroller development module built around the Raspberry Pi RP2040 dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ processor. Paired with 2MB (16Mbit) of external high-speed QSPI NOR flash memory, the board enables versatile program storage and direct execute-in-place (XIP) code running. It integrates a USB Type-C connector complete with dedicated ESD protection on data lines, powered by an onboard 3.3V low-dropout (LDO) regulator that derives clean, regulated system rails directly from VBUS. Timing stability is driven by an external 12MHz crystal oscillator, complemented by an onboard power LED and a user-programmable WS2812B addressable RGB LED tied to GPIO18. Dual 15-pin, 2.54mm pitch breadboard-friendly headers route out general-purpose I/Os, analog inputs (ADC0–ADC3), standard serial peripherals (SPI, I²C, UART), and SWD debug lines, while dedicated hardware BOOT and RESET pushbuttons ensure effortless drag-and-drop firmware flashing over USB.
Key Features
- Dual-Core ARM Cortex-M0+ Microcontroller: Powered by the Raspberry Pi RP2040 processor operating at clock speeds up to 133MHz, equipped with 264KB of on-chip SRAM and dual-core processing capability.
- 2MB High-Speed QSPI NOR Flash: Integrated 16Mbit (2MB) external flash memory supports execute-in-place (XIP) for rapid code execution and ample program storage.
- Breadboard-Friendly Breakout Headers: Dual 15-pin, standard 2.54mm pitch pin headers route out digital GPIOs, 4 analog ADC inputs, standard hardware buses (UART, SPI, I²C), and dedicated SWD debug pins (SWCLK, SWDIO).
