I don't have a link for the purchase of the bare chips - they are only 7mm by 7mm apparently! The initial posting on the Raspberry Pi blog (https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspbe ... w-on-sale/) says this right at the bottom:

Are you planning to make RP2040 available to customers?
We hope to make RP2040 broadly available in the second quarter of 2021.
So, a wee while to wait.

And 0.4 mm pitch unfortunately. Looks like they want to promote breakout board sales.
Another thing that hurts for QL use is lack of 5V tolerance. Many FPGA have clamp diodes that allow to overcome this by a series resistor, but I see nothing like that.
Yes, sorry, my mistake. The Pico board can be powered as I mentioned but the microcontroller needs 3.3V and 1.1V. It converts the 3.3 internally to 1.1 itself.
Oh wow, that is an interesting beast. I've been looking for over a year for a microcontroller that can act as an SPI slave @25Mhz. I haven't found the specs on that, but with the way IO is implemented this might be able to do it. Cool, will check one out when I find the time.
