The WIZnet W6100-EVB-Pico2 is a microcontroller board based on theRaspberry Pi RP2350 and fully hardwired TCP/IP controller W6100, withEthernet via the W6100 and USB-C!

The board can also support PoE via the optional WIZPoE-P1 PoE add-on module.

The W6100-EVB-Pico2 pinout is directly connected to the GPIO of RP2350 as shown in the pinout image. It has the same pinout as the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 board. However, GPIO16, GPIO17, GPIO18, GPIO19, GPIO20, GPIO21 are connected to W6100 inside the board. These pins enable SPI communication with W6100 to use the Ethernet function. If you use the Ethernet function, these pins cannot be used for any other purpose.

MicroPython is not yet supported as the wiznet5k library does not yet support the W6100 chip. WIZnet are working on this. CircuitPython may support the chip in IPV4 mode only.

The RP2350 GPIO used inside W6100-EVB-Pico is as follows.

Apart from GPIO and ground pins, there are 7 other pins on the main 40-pin interface:
