RP2040 Board: common questions

What microcontroller does the RP2040 Board use?

The RP2040 Board is built around the Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the RP2040 Board?

The RP2040 Board measures 88.3 × 65.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the RP2040 Board?

55 components, from 26 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the RP2040 Board design files?

From the tystowell/RP2040_Board_KiCAD repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the RP2040 Board design in my own project?

It is published under Custom license, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.

Can I test firmware for the RP2040 Board without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
