The WIZnet W6300‑EVB‑Pico2 is an RP2350-based, Pico 2–compatible development board featuring the WIZnet W6300 hardwired TCP/IP Ethernet controller - it essentially works the same as Raspberry Pi Pico 2 board, but with USB-C and the addition of Ethernet via a W6300 chip and Ethernet port.
The W6300 supports hardwired Internet protocols such as TCP, UDP, IPv6/IPv4, ICMPv6/ICMPv4, IGMP, MLDv1, ARP and PPPoE, offering eight independent simultaneous sockets with 64KB memory, 32KB of internal TX/RX buffer memory, and an SPI interface.
The W6300‑EVB‑Pico2 also has an AWS IoT Core Qualification! See the entry on the AWS website here, or head over to the getting started guide for AWS IoT Core here.
