Arduino Maker Nano RP2040 “Slightly shorter than a Pico, this board has 30 pre-soldered pins, all helpfully labelled on the silkscreen.

Following on from the Arduino Portenta comes another new board from Arduino - the Nano RP2040 Connect, which was first announced back in January.

The Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect board is fully compatible with the Arduino Cloud and because the Nano RP2040 Connect is a connected device, this opens up all kinds of possibilities.

Arduino is one of the companies that has partnered with Raspberry Pi to create accessories for the Pico and is using the RP2040 in its forthcoming Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect.

The board is named the Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect, a moniker that’s not just a mouthful but likely to be confused with existing Arduino Nano products.

Initially, the aforementioned “Linux on AVR through ARM” project was picked as a base – then, a newer development, [cnlohr]’s RISC-V emulator, presented itself and was too good to pass up on.
