[REQUEST] Please add port TensorFlow Lite Micro to the new RP2350 (and old RP2040) microcontroller platforms (e.g. new Raspberry Pi Pico 2 and the original Raspberry Pi Pico + third-party "Picos")? #2730
Description
Can you please add an official port of the TensorFlow Lite Micro (LiteRT for microcontrollers) library to new RP2350 and old the RP2040 microcontroller platforms from Raspberry Pi?
Note that there already looks to be a few unofficial ports of the TensorFlow Lite Micro library for the older RP2040 hardware, however there is no official support upstream for RP2040 or RP2350, (and obviously the newer RP2350 MCU should offcer a lot better performance). I think that RP2350 is also very intesting because it features different CPU-cores that uses ARM and RISC architecture (though developer have to choose which cores to bootstrap).
There is LiteRT downstream port for older RP2040 but does't look to be maintained + has not been updated to new RP2350, see:
and
Someone has however submitted a Pico2 patch for RP2350 to that GitHub repository but that pull request has not been merged (again a sign that the downstream repo is not being maintained).
RP2350 is the successor and next-generation of RPi RP2040, as such the RP2350 is newly released so there is not yet widespread support but RP2040 based development boards are already very popular in schools and STEM education so think they are interesting as alternatives to ESP32 because documentation is often easier as often targeting beginners which in turn means can lead to broader use and use cases.

FYI, there is not yet an official Raspberry Pi Pico 2 board with Wi-Fi but there are third-party boards with WiFi and LAN, see:
