A Hardware Bug in the Raspberry Pi RP2350 MCU Causes Pins to Stick at 2.15V
A Hardware Bug in the RP2350 microcontroller family causes GPIO pins to get stuck at around 2.15V when configured as inputs with internal pull-down resistors. This "latching" behavior is due to a faulty fault-tolerant pad design from an unnamed IP vendor. The issue affects all GPIO...
