FYI, the new board will be called the "Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect", a Nano
form factor, 16MB of flash memory, a 9-axis IMU and some sensors, with an
announcement by Massimo Banzi of Arduino at:

   https://blog.arduino.cc/2021/01/20/welcome-raspberry-pi-to-the-world-of-microcontrollers/

As regards using the Arduino IDE, quoting Mr. Banzi:

   "We are going to port the Arduino core to this new architecture in
    order to enable everyone to use the RP2040 chip with the Arduino
    ecosystem (IDE, command line tool, and thousands of libraries)."

Cheers,

Murray

     In the evening
     The rice leaves in the garden
     Rustle in the autumn wind
     That blows through my reed hut.
