Adafruit DVI Sock for Pico - Works with HDMI Displays

The Adafruit DVI Sock is a compact DVI/HDMI output board designed to solder directly onto the end of a Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico W like a little PCB sock. Using the RP2040's PIO system, it enables your Pico to drive any HDMI monitor or display with digital video output.

This is a passive breakout with no active components — just an HDMI connector and 220 Ω series resistors. It connects to GPIO 12–19 on the Pico's bottom pins, with additional breakout pads for 5V, GND, Hot-Plug Detect, CEC, and Util pins for advanced use.
