Wifi/Bluetooth Connectivity; 10 6-Axis Imu; External Memory; Cryptography - Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect Product Reference Manual

Arduino® Nano RP2040 Connect
9 WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity
Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity is provided by the Nina W102 (U2) module. The RP2040 only
has 4 analog pins, and the Nina is used to extend that to the full eight as is standard in the
Arduino Nano form factor with another 4 12-bit analog inputs (A4-A7). Additionally, the
common anode RGB LED is also controlled by the Nina W-102 module such that the LED is
off when the digital state is HIGH and on when the digital state is LOW. The internal PCB
antenna in the module eliminates the need for an external antenna. The Nina W102 module
also includes a dual core Xtensa LX6 CPU that can also be programmed independantly of
the RP2040 through the pads under the board using SWD.
10 6-axis IMU
It is possible to obtain 3D gyroscope and 3D accelerometer data from the LSM6DSOX 6-axis
IMU (U9). In addition to providing such data, it is also possible to do machine learning on the
IMU for gesture detection.
11 External memory
The RP2040 (U1) has access to an additional 16 MB of flash memory via a QSPI interface.
The execute-in-place (XIP) feature of the RP2040 allows external flash memory to be
addressed and accessed by the system as though it were internal memory, without first
copying the code to internal memory.

12 Cryptography

The ATECC608A Cryptographic IC (U4) provides secure boot capabilities alongside SHA and
AES-128 encryption/decryption support for security in Smart Home and Industrial IoT (IIoT)
applications. Additionally, a random number generator is also avaliable for use by the
RP2040.

13 Microphone

The MP34DT06J microphone is connected via a PDM interface to the RP2040. The digital
MEMS microphone is omnidirectional and operate via a capacitive sensing element with a
high (64 dB) signal to noise ratio. The sensing element, capable of detecting acoustic
waves, is manufactured using a specialized silicon micromachining process dedicated to
produce audio sensors.
