Raspberry Pi RP2040 used on Wiznet IoT module


Wiznet introduces a new compact development platform W5100S-EVB-Pico Evaluation Board at a very cost-effective price. The interesting thing is – it is based on the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller.

Below you can find a useful summary of the product including the main reasons not to overlook this product created by one of the SOS electronic product specialists Pavel Kováč.

5 reasons to choose the W5100S-EVB-Pico:

  • Ready2use solution for IoT applications
  • contains Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller
  • excellent quality vs price ratio
  • the basis is the W5100 chip for connection to the Ethernet network
  • low consumption

The 133MHz RP2040 MCU has a dual ARM® Cortex®-M0 + core providing high performance also with using various low-power modes to support operation from battery power. The RP2040 is also equipped with 2MB Flash memory on a chip, a symmetric dual-core processor, a deterministic bus fabric, and a rich set of peripherals, enhanced by an RPi programmable I/O subsystem.

The W5100S-EVB-Pico development kit from WIZnet can work in the same way as the Raspberry Pi Pico and it additionally includes the W5100S TCP/IP chip. It supports Ethernet cable connection via Media Access Control (MAC), 10Base-T / 100Base-TX Ethernet PHY and it is a single-chip solution for the TCP/IP Internet protocol.

It provides an easy way to extend the Internet connection for efficient and small embedded systems with the help of the RP2040 MCU and W5100S TCP/IP controller.
