RP2040 Minimal Design — PCB / PCBA
Price range: $2.00 through $5.90
RP2040 minimal development board design with W25Q128JVS flash and a 3.3V regulator for embedded firmware and custom controller prototypes.
Choose PCB Only — $2.00, 50 g or PCBA — $5.90, 60 g, per piece.
PCBA is made to order: 5-10 days of production after payment confirmation, excluding shipping transit time.
Images show bare PCB renders. The PCB-only option contains no components.
PCB production lead time: 2-3 days. Shipping transit time is additional.
Choose your PCB color: Green, Purple, Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Black or Matte Black.
For bare PCB orders, please enter your preferred soldermask color in the order notes at checkout. If ordering multiple products, specify the product name and color for each item. Example: Arisu PCB – Purple. Product images are references; the supplied PCB color follows your confirmed order requirements.

Design functions and applications
RP2040 minimal development board design with W25Q128JVS flash and a 3.3V regulator for embedded firmware and custom controller prototypes.
Main chips and their roles
| Chip | Role in the design |
|---|---|
| RP2040 | Dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller with programmable I/O (PIO). |
| W25Q128JVS | External serial flash identified in the upstream component list. |
| NCP1117-3.3 | 3.3V regulator identified in the upstream component list. |
Key design functions
- Minimal RP2040 circuit with external flash, clock and power regulation.
- Micro-USB interface, USB boot connection and accessible GPIO/SWD connections.
- A reference platform for firmware and custom RP2040 board development.
Typical applications
- Learning RP2040 firmware and debugging.
- GPIO, serial-interface and PIO experiments.
- Sensor interfaces and custom embedded controllers.
Application examples require suitable firmware and external hardware. Functions and chips describe the assembled design; the PCB-only option contains no components. Actual PCBA population and any programming or testing requirements should be confirmed for the order.
RP2040 Minimal Design — Choose PCB or PCBA
Based on the open-source RP2040-minimal-design project maintained by Tommy Gilligan, derived from Raspberry Pi’s RP2040 minimal design example. The supplied board renders are marked REV1. Select your required build option before adding to cart.
| Option | Price per piece | Shipping weight per unit | Supplied condition | Production lead time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PCB Only | USD $2.00 | 50 g | 1 bare PCB; no electronic components | 2-3 days |
| PCBA | USD $5.90 | 60 g | 1 assembled circuit board | 5-10 days after payment confirmation |
The PCBA production lead time excludes shipping transit time. PCBA is produced to order, not dispatched immediately from stock.
What you receive
- PCB Only: one unpopulated printed circuit board. RP2040, flash, connectors and all other components are excluded.
- PCBA: one populated and soldered board based on this project. Cables and enclosure are not included. Contact DIYIPCB before ordering if you need particular header fitting, firmware programming or a specific test procedure.
Both gallery images are front/back bare PCB renders for layout reference. They are not photos of the assembled PCBA.
