Pick Up A Raspberry Pi Rp2040 Chip For A Dollar

And it gets better – they only cost a dollar apiece. The Raspberry Pi RP2040 is the first microcontroller designed in-house at Raspberry Pi and it features dual Cortex M0+ cores, 264KB of on-chip RAM, and support for up to 16MB of off-chip flash memory via a QSPI bus. The RP2040 will be offered singly, and on reels of 500 and 3,400 for $500 and $3,400, respectively. Around 600,000 chips have currently been shipped to the usual raspberry Pi vendors, with lots more to follow, so it might take a while for the chips to trickle down to vendors and then into the hands of the hobbyists.
