Meet the Engineers (Part 1): Get to Know the Raspberry Pi Pico and RP2040

In this recorded webinar (filmed live on March 25, 2021), learn more about the Raspberry Pi Pico and RP2040, plus SparkFun’s RP2040-based boards. Watch this lively conversation led by Elektor’s engineers, who were joined by Eben Upton and Nathan Seidle (founders of Raspberry Pi and SparkFun, respectively).

41:22 I think PIO it's so simple and powerfull tool, it's like small FPGA inside you can program it for every protocol (simple protocol) without using some weird chaining DMA(or two) with SPI or GPIO. Simple and clear. Well done.

I would like to see a dual core Cortex-M4F clocked at 200MHz with additional programmable logic with similar design decisions to the ones in RP2040 (external flash, lots of ram and PIO, which is one of the best features I've seen)

21:55 i don't agree that calling the reset pin a run pin makes sense because someone could interpret asserting the run pin low as halting the controller rather than what it actually does which is in fact resetting it. i don't see why it's hard to explain to students that a reset pin is active when asserted low

Guess I missed something. Video starts with a statement that there will be items offed at the end, I started watch 15 minutes after video went up on YouTube and there was no way to participate in the drawing. Was this a rebroadcast from the elector channel???

6:36 for about 1 minute: Eben right out of the gate with The Answer. Cool.

I think it would be most useful if a consensus could be reached on connecting an RP2040 to a Raspberry PI as a hat. Anarchy benefits no one.

The host ("moderator"?) did not do his homework: where are the interesting questions? Why allow eben talk about non-related stuff? very lame
