Arduino UNO Q Development Board (2GB LPDDR4, 16GB eMMC)

The Arduino UNO Q is a next-generation, hybrid development board that integrates a powerful microprocessor unit (MPU) with a real-time microcontroller unit (MCU) on a single platform. Powered by the Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ QRB2210 MPU, it runs a full Debian Linux OS and is equipped with a quad-core 2.0 GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, and 16GB eMMC storage, making it ideal for demanding tasks like on-device AI, computer vision, and advanced robotics. Simultaneously, its real-time STM32U585 MCU provides the precise, low-latency hardware control essential for robotics and data acquisition. Complete with Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, and full compatibility with the Arduino UNO ecosystem, the UNO Q is engineered to be the all-in-one solution for complex IoT projects and edge computing innovations.

Dual-Brain Hybrid Architecture

The core innovation of the Arduino UNO Q is its hybrid design. The Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ QRB2210 MPU handles complex operating systems and computationally intensive applications, such as running web servers, processing video streams, or executing AI models. Simultaneously, the dedicated STM32U585 MCU manages real-time tasks like precise motor control, low-latency sensor data acquisition, and I/O management. This separation of duties ensures that critical hardware operations are never interrupted by high-level processing, resulting in a system that is both powerful and highly reliable.

On-Device AI and Computer Vision

Equipped with a quad-core CPU, an Adreno GPU, and dual Image Signal Processors (ISPs), the Arduino UNO Q is built for on-device machine learning and computer vision. The hardware acceleration allows it to efficiently run AI models for tasks like object detection, facial recognition, and audio keyword spotting directly on the board without reliance on cloud services. This capability is essential for creating autonomous, responsive, and privacy-conscious smart devices.

Full Debian Linux Environment

The board comes pre-installed with a Debian Linux OS, transforming it from a simple microcontroller board into a versatile single-board computer. This provides access to a vast ecosystem of open-source software, libraries, and development tools. Developers can program in high-level languages like Python®, utilize containerization with Docker, and install standard Linux packages, drastically simplifying the development of complex, multi-process applications.

Seamless Integration with the Arduino Ecosystem

Despite its advanced capabilities, the Arduino UNO Q maintains deep integration with the Arduino ecosystem. It features the classic UNO header layout, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of existing shields. The inclusion of a Qwiic connector enables simple, solder-free expansion with numerous sensors and modules. Development is streamlined through tools like the Arduino IDE and Arduino App Lab, which provide a unified interface for writing both traditional Arduino Sketches for the MCU and Python code for the MPU.
