If there is no schematic and you can't buy the chip alone e.g. on Mouser then that's a pass. You can't do anything serious otherwise and you get locked in. Bett

- tpmx 6y agoWhile I agree you with you in principle, for once they really seem to have gone all out on being fully open, unlike in the past. Kudos. From the linked blog post: We hope to make RP2040 broadly available in the second quarter of 2021. Schematics for a demo board/etc and a very detailed datasheet: https://datasheets.raspberrypi.org/rp2040/hardware_design_with_rp2040.pdf https://datasheets.raspberrypi.org/rp2040/hardware_design_wi... https://datasheets.raspberrypi.org/rp2040/rp2040_datasheet.pdf https://datasheets.raspberrypi.org/rp2040/rp2040_datasheet.p...
- intricatedetail 6y agoLooks like I was wrong! That's a great news
- tpmx 6y agoAgreed. I guess that very neat programmable IO could be considered as something that would cause lock-in, but in this case, I think the lock-in factor is fair - they are delivering something reasonable unique.
