New development platform
Arduino UNO Q now available from DigiKey
DigiKey has announced the launch of the new 'Arduino UNO Q' development board. The dual-processor system combines a Linux-capable computing unit with a microcontroller for real-time applications and is aimed at developers, trainers and start-ups alike.
The electronics distributor DigiKey is now offering the new 'Arduino UNO Q' for pre-order. The development board combines a Linux-based microprocessor unit (MPU) with a real-time microcontroller unit (MCU). This architecture enables applications in areas such as artificial intelligence, image processing, IoT, robotics and automation.
The MPU handles computationally intensive tasks such as AI inferences or multimedia processing, while the MCU is responsible for time-critical controls such as motor drives or sensor signals. Both systems are connected via Arduino's RPC framework 'Bridge', which allows direct communication between the processors.
"We are honored to be one of the first distributors to offer Arduino's innovative UNO Q," said Mike Slater, Vice President of Global Business Development at DigiKey.
The UNO Q is supplied with the pre-installed development environment 'Arduino App Lab'. This platform combines Arduino sketches, Python scripts and AI models in containers that can be managed via a standardized interface. This makes it easier to develop and deploy applications for embedded systems, Linux and edge AI.
