Reliable for industrial prototyping
We used these for a proof-of-concept in an industrial monitoring setup. They have been running 24/7 for two months without crashes. The thermal management is good even without a fan in our enclosure.

Perfect for embedded AI projects
This board is incredibly compact yet powerful enough for my computer vision experiments. The RISC-V architecture runs smoothly with the provided Linux build, and setting up the NPU was straightforward using their documentation.

Tiny powerhouse
I replaced a much larger SBC with this Pico for my drone project. The weight savings are significant, and the performance is sufficient for object detection at 30fps. Highly recommended for portable robotics.

Good learning tool
As a student learning about RISC-V, this board is affordable and functional. The 128MB RAM is limiting for heavy multitasking but perfectly fine for dedicated single-application tasks like sensor logging or simple AI inference.

Great value, minor docs gaps
Hardware quality is excellent for the price point. Wi-Fi connectivity is stable. I deducted one star because some advanced GPIO examples in the wiki are a bit sparse, but the community forum helped fill the gaps.

Smooth Linux experience
Boots up quickly into Buildroot. The device tree configuration is well-maintained. I appreciate that Waveshare provides pre-built images so you can start coding immediately without compiling everything from scratch.
Q: Does this board support Python for AI development?
A: Yes, the board supports Python 3. You can install TensorFlow Lite or use the Rockchip RKNN toolkit for deploying AI models on the NPU.
Q: How do I access the serial console for debugging?
A: You can access the serial console via the debug UART pins located on the header. Set your terminal to 115200 baud, 8N1. Pinout details are available in the hardware user manual on our wiki.
Q: Can I connect a standard Raspberry Pi camera module?
A: No, this board uses a MIPI CSI-2 interface which is not physically compatible with the standard Raspberry Pi camera ribbon cable. You will need a camera module specifically designed for MIPI interfaces compatible with Rockchip sensors.
Q: What is the power consumption during typical operation?
A: Typical power consumption is around 1.5W to 2.5W depending on the workload and whether Wi-Fi is active. It can be powered via USB-C or GPIO pins.
Q: Is there an onboard eMMC storage or only MicroSD?
A: This specific Pico model relies on MicroSD card for storage and does not have onboard eMMC flash. This helps keep the cost and size down.
