So first of all, this isn’t anywhere close to release. It’s just a group discussion that creates prototypes as a byproduct. The first routed board was completed in October or November but there were no RP2350B to buy, and I wasn’t going to buy a full reel of broken silicon under the prerelease program for prototyping if there was a chance they might have a stepping.

There’s a couple threads discussing what people are interested in. I couldn’t find the main one earlier, so posted where you saw it.

We have a current completed PCB prototype with

This thread may help. We are just trying different things out. The PICO SDK makes it easy to support all the platforms, and we are looking at an integrated universal firmware for the RP2350 chips with one time programmable memory.

5 is still the current gold standard. I did the Raspberry PI prerelease program and made some boards for fun with the new chips, we are only now starting to formulate those into a new version as a community.
