Arduino UNO Q

Arduino

A hybrid single-board computer in the UNO form factor that pairs a Qualcomm Dragonwing QRB2210 quad-core applications processor (Adreno GPU, dual ISP, running Debian Linux) with an STM32U585 microcontroller for real-time control. It targets AI-accelerated vision and sound applications, programmed via the open source Arduino App Lab. Made by Arduino (now a Qualcomm company), it ships in 2GB/16GB and 4GB/32GB variants around EUR 47-65, a low-cost on-ramp to Qualcomm edge-AI silicon for the maker community.

Verified live 2026-06-22 via primary sources. Board schematics and gerbers are CC-BY-SA 4.0 and tooling is open, but the QRB2210 SoC remains proprietary silicon needing firmware blobs.

Sold globally through Arduino Store plus Digikey, Mouser, and RS Components, backed by Arduino's large maker community.

Capability

3 medium confidence
3.0

Capable Linux+MCU hybrid with GPU/ISP-based AI acceleration, but no published TOPS figure so throughput is modest versus dedicated-NPU kits.
