RP2040-PICO30

I'm kind of curious - what can the RP2040-pico30 do that the earlier Pi Pico can't?

Can anyone fill me in, please?

It has more available GPIO pins according to this site :

RP2040-PICO30 - Open Source Hardware Board

RP2040-PICO30 is RP2040-PICO with 30 GPIO EXPOSED

www.olimex.com

According to text :
"
RP2040-PICO30 is re-design of the popular Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040) but exposes all 30 GPIOs
RP2040-PICO30 comes with 2MB flash memory as original RP2040-PICO, but there is also variant RP2040-PICO30-16 with the maximum possible flash memory for RP2040 - 16MB.


RP2040-PICO30U has also mounted UEXT connector and LED. The LED is not connected to any port by default, but can be connected to GPIO25 as in the original RP2040-PICO via solder jumper. There are two 2.2K pullup resistors options to the SCL and SDL ports (GPIO16 and GPIO17).

The pdf manual explains it all, some pins are GND with the original RP2040 and have become GPIO pins with the RP2040-PICO30.
