"Qualcomm is acquiring Arduino, the Italian open-source electronics platform behind a range of boards for tinkerers, DIY hobbyists, and educators, for an undisclosed amount. In an announcement on Tuesday, Qualcomm says the Arduino "brand, tools, and mission" will remain independent while still building microcontrollers and microprocessors with chips from multiple manufacturers. In addition to the acquisition, Arduino is releasing the Uno Q, a Raspberry Pi-like board that combines Qualcomm's Dragonwing QRB2210 processor and a real-time microcontroller."
"It's capable of running Linux Debian and allows you to plug in a keyboard, mouse, and display with a USB-C dongle. The new board also supports lightweight AI models, allowing for "AI-powered vision and sound solutions that react to their environment in real time." The Uno Q comes with Arduino's new App Lab pre-installed, which the company describes as an "all-in-one development environment" where you can manage Arduino Sketches, Python scripts, and AI models."
Qualcomm acquired Arduino while the Arduino brand, tools, and mission will remain independent and continue building microcontrollers and microprocessors using multiple manufacturers' chips. Arduino is releasing the Uno Q, a Raspberry Pi–like board combining Qualcomm's Dragonwing QRB2210 processor with a real-time microcontroller. The Uno Q can run Debian Linux and connect a keyboard, mouse, and display via a USB-C dongle. The board supports lightweight AI models for real-time vision and sound solutions. The Uno Q includes App Lab pre-installed to manage Arduino Sketches, Python scripts, and AI models, and it is priced at $44 for pre-order.
