Might see something on the Pico family.
Apparently the PIO stuff was first put in the RP1 that's on the Pi5.
Then the RP2040 was developed with an enhanced PIO.
Will a third generation PIO show up?
The RP2040 runs at 100MHz but some have overclocked to 400+MHz.
Very few people are using the PIO to the max even on RP2040.
What can be done by adding 2 or 6 more PIO blocks?
RP1 - Pi5
RP2xxx - Pico
RP3 will have what?
Maybe something generic that can be used for AI/ML/NN or ???????
A FPGA would fit that "generic" label.
But it would have to be made in low cost technology, not going to see the latest from Intel/Nvidia/AMD FPGA divisions in Pi's.
The old FPGA guys Xilinx, Altera, Lattice, Actel who used to make pure FPGAs are getting Arm cores and dedicated hardware blocks added.
