Arduino UNO Q – Next-Gen Hybrid Board for Makers & AI

arduino uno Q

The Arduino UNO Q is a powerful leap forward in the Arduino family, blending a Linux-capable processor with a real-time microcontroller in a familiar UNO form-factor. (arduino.cc) Whether you’re a maker, educator, or professional, the UNO Q opens up possibilities for AI, machine vision, IoT, robotics and more.

What is Arduino UNO Q?

UNO Q features a hybrid “dual-brain” architecture:

  • A Qualcomm Dragonwing™ QRB2210 MPU running Debian Linux, with quad-core CPU and GPU for advanced computing. (arduino.cc)
  • A STM32U585 real-time MCU (Arm® Cortex-M33) for hardware control and deterministic tasks. (docs.arduino.cc)
    It supports WiFi 5 (2.4/5 GHz), Bluetooth 5.1, USB-C, Qwiic connector for Modulino nodes, and maintains compatibility with standard UNO shields and libraries. (arduino.cc)

Key Features

  • Runs full Linux + supports Arduino sketches, Python, containerized AI models via Arduino App Lab. (arduino.cc)
  • Classic UNO form-factor for compatibility with many shields and ecosystem.
  • High-performance hardware for edge-AI, vision, robotics.
  • Dual-brain architecture allowing simultaneous high-level computing and real-time hardware control.
  • Expandable hardware: Qwiic, UNO headers, bottom connectors for camera/display. (docs.arduino.cc)

What can you use it for?

  • Edge AI and machine vision projects: camera input, image processing on board.
  • Smart home / automation systems: IoT devices with advanced connectivity and processing.
  • Robotics: advanced robots needing both high-level logic and hardware real-time control.
  • Educational & prototyping: teaches embedded Linux + microcontroller in one board.
  • Industrial applications: thanks to its performance, it can be used in industrial-grade IoT and automation. (DigiKey)

Why choose UNO Q?

If you need more than a standard microcontroller board, and want the flexibility of running Linux, Python and AI alongside hardware control in one board, UNO Q is a future-proof choice.
