Add new board: Cytron EDU PICO 2

[noqman]

Hi, can you please help to add this board?
The product is still under development and will be launched soon.

Let me know if there are any issues with it.
Thank you!

Hi, the build is overflowing on one or more languages.

You are freezing a lot of libraries. You could drop some of these:

• adafruit_bus_device is already included as a C implementation. The frozen version will not be used.
• adafruit_sdcard is not needed if sdcardio is enabled.
• simpleio is not really needed. If you want a range() operation, see adafruit_simplemath.
• You are including non-displayio display support with adafruit_framebuf and adafruit_ssd1306. Is it your intention to have both kinds of display support?

Look at the pico 2W build and see if there are any native (built-in) modules you might want to turn off to make room.

reduce size

Hi!

Sorry, I forgot to mention earlier. This board will be used with a guidebook that our team is developing. We planning to freeze in all the required libraries so users don’t have to manually add anything into the lib folder. That’s why you see many libraries included here hahah. There are two more libraries I plan to add OPT4048 (which I already added) and PAJ7620.

• I removed the adafruit_bus_device as per your comment
• we use the simpleio Iibrary because we use it for buzzer code.

I tried to build the uf2 using linux and yeah like you said the size is too large:

Memory region Used Size Region Size %age Used
FLASH_FIRMWARE: 1377392 B 1020 KB 131.87%
RAM: 68720 B 512 KB 13.11%
SCRATCH_Y: 0 B 4 KB 0.00%
SCRATCH_X: 2 KB 4 KB 50.00%

Currently I try to remove some of the native (built-in) modules that aren’t used in our guidebook to help reduce the firmware size.

CIRCUITPY_ULAB = 0 will remove ulab which is quite large, though also useful. You could turn off some unused display-bus and epaper support, etc. as well.
