RP2040 Platform

This component contains platform-specific options for the RP2040 platform.

ℹ️ Note

Support for all aspects of ESPHome on the RP2040 is still in development.

Only the original model of Raspberry Pi Pico W board is supported, which has the Cypress CYW43439 chip providing wireless connectivity. It can be identified by a metallic shield encapsulating the radio circuitry. Pico W boards with radio module chips like ESP8285 or similar (labelled as RP2040 Pico W-2023 etc.), are not supported.

Please search for or create an issue if you encounter an unknown problem.

# Example configuration entry
rp2040:
  board: rpipicow

ℹ️ Note

As of ESPHome 2024.9.2, the below platform_version is no longer required as ESPHome internally. Using the platform_version as is below is also known to cause compilation issues due to version mismatching.

It is recommended to remove the platform_version from the configuration.

# Example configuration entry
rp2040:
  board: rpipicow
