The project builds on earlier work that saw the RP2040 outputting digital video over DVI. [TEC_IST] realized that earlier methods already used up 30% of the chip’s processing power just to reach ...

For even better performance, the RP2040 processor is also paired with an onboard flash memory of 2MB. This same chip, however, wasn't used in the Pico 2. Instead, Raspberry Pi upgraded the board ...
