Feather RP2040 microcontroller board with RP2040 microcontroller and DVI port - Adafruit 5710

Adafruit Feather RP2040 with DVI video output is a board based on the RP2040 microcontroller, with a dual-core ARM Cortex M0+ clocked at up to 133 MHz , equipped with 264 kB of RAM and 8 MB of Flash memory operating via the QSPI interface. It is equipped with 16 PWM channels, four 12-bit ADCs and supports interfaces such as I2C, SPI or UART. The Feather RP2040 board can be programmed using MicroPython, CircuitPython or C/C++. The program can be implemented using the USB interface (USB type C connector), using the built-in UF2 bootloader, or through an external programmer. In addition, the board has a red LED and a Neopixel RGB LED.

Feather RP2040 - board with RP2040 microcontroller and DVI port - Adafruit 5710.

The board is equipped with the RP2040 microcontroller.

• Two ARM Cortex M0+ cores clocked up to 133 MHz
• 264KB of RAM
• No built-in memory - support external Flash QSPI memory up to 16 MB
• DMA controller
• Built-in LDO
• 30 GPIO pins
• Interfaces:
  • 2 x UARTs
  • 2 x SPI
  • 2 x I2C
  • 16 PWM channels
  • 4 x 12-bit ADCs
  • USB 1.1 controller and PHY
  • PIO state machines

The DVI output has been brought out through the HDMI port , it can be used to transmit graphics, but it does not support audio transmission. Most monitors can be connected to it, and the image resolution is 640 x 480 px or 800 x 480 px. The display can be operated using a dedicated PicoDVI library (Arduino IDE).

The JST connector, located on the board, is used to connect a lithium-ion (Li-Ion) or lithium-polymer (Li-Pol) battery, which can be used to power the board. After connecting the power supply via the USB connector, the built-in system will start charging the battery. The maximum charging current is 200 mA. The LED diode assigned to the system informs about the charging status.
