Unboxing the XIAO RP2350: Dual-Core Arm Cortex-M33 & Hazard3 RISC-V Raspberry Pi RP2350 MCU

The new XIAO RP2350 module is a tiny yet powerful development board featuring the brand new Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller. This is the same microcontroller as on Raspberry Pi Pico 2. It integrates dual Arm Cortex-M33 cores alongside dual open-hardware Hazard3 RISC-V cores, which can be selected via software or by programming the on-chip OTP memory.

Measuring just 21x17.8mm, the XIAO RP2350 offers 19 GPIO pins, an RGB LED, boot and reset buttons, and a battery management system. Despite its small size, it boasts ultra-low power consumption, using only 27μA, making it ideal for compact, energy-efficient projects.
