Frequently Asked Questions

What development environments are supported for programming the RP2350-PiZero board?

The board is supported by comprehensive SDKs and tools for C/C++ development, the MicroPython interpreter for scripting, and the Arduino IDE through community-supported cores. You can start with the official Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ SDK or use the pre-configured MicroPython UF2 image for immediate scripting. The Arduino core allows leveraging existing Arduino libraries for rapid prototyping.

How do I connect a display to the onboard DVI interface?

The onboard DVI port uses a standard DVI-D connector. To connect an HDMI monitor, you will need a passive DVI-D to HDMI adapter or cable, as the digital signal is compatible. Ensure your firmware or application configures the appropriate video timings and resolution using the RP2350's PIO and peripheral functions, typically managed within the SDK's display library examples.

Can I expand the board's memory beyond the 16MB onboard flash?

Yes, memory can be expanded in two ways. First, the microSD (TF) card slot provides mass storage for files and data. Second, the board includes reserved solder pads for attaching external PSRAM (Pseudo Static RAM) chips, which can significantly increase available volatile memory for memory-intensive applications like graphics buffers or complex data structures.

What is the power supply requirement and how do I use the battery header?

The board operates at 3.3V. Power can be supplied via the USB Type-C port. The lithium battery header allows connection of a single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly battery (typically 3.7V) for portable operation. The onboard circuitry manages battery charging when USB power is present and provides power path management to run the system from battery when USB is disconnected.
