What is the roadmap for supporting non-Pico boards which use RP2 chips ?
I expect many can be supported by building for an equivalent Pico board but it would be nice to be able to take advantage of what third-party boards offer which none of the Pico-range boards have; larger Flash, PSRAM, more GPIO pins, Ethernet, ESP-based Wi-Fi, HDMI, DVI, VGA or LCD output.
I am personally interested in support for the Pimorino Pico Plus 2 and 2W, the WIZnet W5500-EVB-Pico and their W5100s HAT, and I imagine those with other third-party boards will desire support for whatever they have.
Support for those RP2 boards which can be used as the foundations of a RP2 Home Computer will likely be desirable; Adafruit Fruit Jam, Olimex RP2350pc and RP2040pc, Waveshare RP2350-PiZero and RP2040-PiZero so far.
I suspect some of the things needed may already be supported by Zephyr modules and just need enabling but will some things require new board definitions ?
If they do, who will have to provide those ?
