In a blog post published on 17 March, Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton announced that the RP2350 microcontroller is now available to buy as a standalone chip from Raspberry Pi Approved Resellers worldwide.

RP2350 Specs and Pricing

First unveiled in 2024, the RP2350 is a high-performance successor to the RP2040, featuring dual-core Arm Cortex-M33 CPUs at 150 MHz, with DSP, floating-point, and Arm TrustZone support. It also retains the flexible programmable I/O (PIO) subsystem and includes a large pool of on-chip SRAM.

Despite the upgraded specs, pricing remains aggressive: the RP2350 starts at $0.80 per unit in volume, just $0.10–$0.20 more than RP2040, depending on the package.

To support adoption, Raspberry Pi has partnered with JLCPCB, which now offers RP2350 in its PCB assembly service. A $12 SMT coupon is available for new designs. Developers can also access full documentation, KiCad reference designs, and a hardware design guide.

Security is a major focus for RP2350, with Raspberry Pi opting for a transparent approach, including a public hacking challenge to validate its security model.

Future Variants Announced

Stacked-flash variants (RP2354A/B) are expected later this year, as also reported by EENews Europe. For full details, see Eben Upton’s official announcement on the Raspberry Pi blog.
