The Feather RP2040 with DVI Output lets you drive an HDMI monitor or television directly from a microcontroller. The on-board HDMI connector outputs digital video (DVI) at 640×480 or 800×480 resolution using the RP2040's PIO peripherals, with an internal framebuffer of 320×240 or 400×240 pixels that are pixel-doubled for crisp display output.

The DVI library is a subclass of AdafruitGFX, so it uses familiar drawing commands if you've worked with Adafruit TFT or OLED displays. The HDMI connector's I2C pins are connected to the Feather's SDA/SCL (through a level shifter) for reading display EDID data, and a Hot Plug Detect pin is available on the header.

Key Features

  • RP2040 Processor – Dual ARM Cortex M0+ cores at ~133 MHz, 3.3V logic
  • 264 KB SRAM + 8 MB SPI Flash – For code and file storage
  • DVI/HDMI Output – Digital video output compatible with any HDMI monitor or television (video only, no audio)
  • 320×240 or 400×240 Framebuffer – 16-bit colour, pixel-doubled to 640×480 or 800×480 output
  • AdafruitGFX Compatible – Familiar drawing API from the PicoDVI Arduino library
  • EDID + Hot Plug Detect – Read display information via I2C; detect when a display is connected
  • CEC + Utility Pads – Broken out for advanced HDMI features
  • USB Type C – Native USB with UF2 bootloader
  • NeoPixel – On-board RGB LED for status feedback
  • LiPo Battery Support – JST connector with built-in charger
  • Standard Feather Pinout – Compatible with FeatherWings
Note: DVI video generation uses one full core, both PIO peripherals, and 150–190 KB of SRAM. Arduino is recommended — CircuitPython does not currently support DVI output on this board.
