Description

The WIZnet W55RP20-EVB-PICO Evaluation Board is a System-in-Package (SiP) solution that merges the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller with the WIZnet W5500 Ethernet controller. This integration provides a robust platform for developing networked IoT devices, smart home appliances, and industrial telemetry systems without requiring an external memory chip for the TCP/IP stack.

The RP2040’s dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ architecture handles application logic and data processing, while the W5500 manages all network communication through its dedicated hardware. This separation ensures reliable, high-performance Ethernet connectivity with minimal CPU overhead, making it suitable for real-time applications. The board supports development in C/C++ via the Arduino IDE or PlatformIO and MicroPython, offering flexibility for embedded developers.

Key Features

  • Hardwired TCP/IP stack supports TCP, UDP, IPv4, ICMP, IGMP, ARP, and PPPoE protocols.
  • Dual-core processor enables concurrent task execution, improving responsiveness in multi-protocol applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I program the W55RP20-EVB-PICO board?

You can program the board using the Arduino IDE with the Raspberry Pi Pico core, PlatformIO, or MicroPython. Connect via USB, then flash the firmware. The integrated W5500 Ethernet controller is managed via its dedicated SPI interface and library, abstracting the complex TCP/IP stack for simpler network application development.

What is the advantage of the hardware TCP/IP stack?

The hardwired TCP/IP stack in the W5500 offloads all network protocol processing from the main RP2040 cores. This ensures stable, high-performance Ethernet communication with minimal CPU overhead and deterministic latency, which is critical for real-time industrial control systems and reliable IoT data transmission without packet loss.

What power supply is required for this evaluation board?

The board operates from a 1.8V to 3.3V supply, typically provided via the USB connection. The on-chip programmable LDO generates the core voltage. For standalone operation, ensure your power source can deliver sufficient current, especially when driving multiple peripherals connected to the GPIO pins, to avoid voltage drops.
