## Summary

James Adams, Chris Boross, Liam Fraser, and Luke Wren from the Raspberry Pi team discuss the RP2350 microcontroller, detailing its evolution from the RP2040 with a focus on new security features, low-power modes, and the addition of a RISC-V core (Hazard 3). The team explains the architectural challenges of integrating dual cores, the enhanced Programmable I/O (PIO) subsystem, and the implementation of secure boot with hardware countermeasures against fault injection. They also share insights from a recent security challenge, revealing exploits like passive voltage contrast on OTP memory, and discuss the future of the RP2040 and upcoming Pico 2 variants.
