How to Power Arduino RP2040 Nano Connect and Raspberry Pi W5500 EVB Pico Together?

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I have a question regarding how to power two connected boards. Specifically, I have an Arduino RP2040 Nano Connect and a Raspberry Pi W5500 EVB Pico. I tried to power the RP2040 using the 5V from the Raspberry Pi, but it didn't work. Is there another way to power the RP2040 aside from using the USB port?

Looks like the 5V pin is output only on RP2040 Nano Connect. Try using the Vin pin.

did you 'activate' the 5 V pin on the bottom side of the Nano?

it worked , thanks ! as you said 5 V was only output and Vin was the correct one .

You're welcome. But why did you not try it already? Did you think it might damage the Nano?

yes, i m new to this field.
