Getting Started with Arduino UNO Q
Arduino UNO Q is a unique development board that combines the familiar Arduino experience with the capabilities of a Linux single-board computer. Its dual-brain architecture pairs a Qualcomm QRB2210 application processor, running Debian Linux for high-level computing tasks, with an STM32U585 microcontroller that handles real-time hardware control and traditional Arduino functionality. This combination allows developers to work with Linux applications while also accessing GPIO, PWM, ADC, SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, and other hardware interfaces through the Arduino ecosystem.
The board is supported by the Arduino App Lab ecosystem, which provides a development environment built around Apps, Examples, Bricks, and AI capabilities. Developers can explore ready-made examples, use reusable Bricks to add functionality such as computer vision, audio processing, cloud services, databases, and more, or build their own applications. Together with its multifunctional USB Type-C connectivity and Linux environment, the Arduino UNO Q provides a flexible platform for experimenting with embedded systems, AI, hardware control, and Linux-based applications.
