It combines two Raspberry Pi RP2350 MCUs, an ESP32-C5, a Lattice ICE40UP5K FPGA, and a Raspberry Pi CM0 capable of running a full Linux OS, along with touchscreen controls, expansion headers, and multiple wireless interfaces.

### Source excerpt

The FREE-WILi 2 (Founder Edition) is an open-hardware, portable hacking multitool and lab designed for hardware hackers, pentesters, and embedded system developers. Designed as an "open electronics multitool," it combines a range of chips and modules into a handheld device, including two Raspberry Pi RP2350 MCUs, an ESP32-C5 for wireless connectivity, a Lattice ICE40UP5K FPGA, and a Raspberry Pi CM0 for running a full Linux OS. The device also features a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen, a 14-button physical interface, and modular "Orca" headers for hardware expansion. Its wireless features include 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa, sub-GHz RF, NFC, 125kHz RFID, and IR. These features make it very suitable for wireless testing, embedded hardware debugging, real-time control, electronics development, and retro gaming, with support for Adafruit Fruit Jam, PICO-8, and Doom.
