only one way to become an expert ... just do it

Apologies for my confusion. I was deep in the datasheet (page 1137) where this line gave the impression of USB 2.0 capabilities. "RP2350…

Yep you are correct. I mistakenly took the spec from the Pico 2 board itself which states "Raspberry Pi Pico 2 comes with all the features…

More corrections: According to the datasheet RP2350 has no internal flash not 4MB as stated here. The RP2354 has 2MB of internal flash.

The RP2350 is still USB 1.1, not 2.0 as stated in the article. I am sure I wouldn't have spent a few hours reading about ULPI trying to see…

Thanks for the heads up! It looks like we went live with the 1st draft 🤦 I've got it updated now and will double check the specs again.

In addition to the parts you highlighted, the M33 core not the same as the M0+, as it's described as being in the article

Something does not add up here. According to the RP2350 datasheet on RPi site, RP2350 has: > * Dual Cortex-M33 or Hazard3 processors at…
