Summary

The W55RP20-EVB-Pico is an evaluation board for the W55RP20, a SiP (System in Package) chip that integrates the W5500 (wired TCP/IP controller) and the RP2040. As a result, both the features of the Raspberry Pi Pico and the W5500 can be utilized.

This PR adds initial support for the W55RP20-EVB-Pico board. The changes included in this PR are as follows:

  • Board configuration files

  • Pin definitions

  • wiznet_pio_spi implementation (as described below)

    The W55RP20 features two identical PIO (Programmable Input/Output) blocks, one of which is used for communication with the W5500. For more detailed information on PIO, please refer to section 3 "PIO" in the RP2040 datasheet.
    The following changes were made to implement this:

    1. New Files Created: New files were created in the ports/rp2 directory:

      • machine_wiznet_pio_spi.c
      • wiznet_pio_spi.c
      • wiznet_pio_spi.h
      • wiznet_pio_spi.pio

    2. Wiznet PIO SPI Communication Enabled: The MICROPY_PY_MACHINE_WIZNET_PIO_SPI definition was added and relevant conditional statements were introduced to enable PIO SPI communication with the W5500.

    3. Utilized Existing Structures: Existing structure definitions from the modemachine file in extmod were utilized for integrating PIO SPI.

Testing

W55RP20-EVB-Pico board successfully tested:

  • LED blink
  • DHCP allocation
  • TCP Loopback Server/Client
  • HTTP client
  • SNTP

Hi, is this port planned for a future release ?
I've started to work on a big project with this board. 🚀
Cheapest PoE MCU + single chip = 👍

It would be nice to have the official uPython firmware.
Thanks for all the hard work anyway, @dpgeorge 💪

I've practically given up waiting on W55RP20 support. It seemed like a good idea but then Wiznet switched to a new SPI library that seems to be going nowhere. I also would only consider official upython firmware releases, not build my own or use the Wiznet fork.

The W5500-EVB-PICO-POE works well with official upython releases (and with the PoE addon board) and is only slightly more expensive, but at least it works.

Hi! Thanks for the nice comment — we really appreciate the kind words.
The PR is ready, and we hope it will be included in an upcoming release!

Thank you.

Thanks for the honest feedback — and totally understandable.
We're sorry for the delay on W55RP20 support. The PR is still open.
Also, thank you for using the W5500-EVB-PICO-POE board — we're glad to hear it's working well with the official firmware.
We appreciate your patience and your perspective!

Thank you.
Grace
