> At a minimum, the next version of RP2040 needs to include on-board Flash / on-board programming. This is something _every_ project needs (RP2040 needs to run its code off of _something_ anyway). The fact that it ships flash-free is incredibly absurd to me at least.
You might get your wish there with their next chips, their last investor report revealed that it will be the "RP235x family". Based on the naming scheme they established with the RP2040 that would be two Cortex-M3 cores with ~512kb RAM, and the "X" placeholder being the amount of onboard flash where the RP2040 had a "0" for "no flash", so that implies there will be a range of models with different amounts of integrated flash.
