Arduino Unveils Ventuno Q: AI-Powered Board with 2026 Launch, Under $300 Target
  • Ventuno Q targets a price under $300 and is slated for release in Q2 2026, with distribution through the Arduino Store and various retailers.

  • Arduino unveils the Ventuno Q, a board designed for edge AI, robotics, and actuation, powered by Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ8 Series for on-board AI processing and real-time control.

  • The system offers up to 16GB RAM, up to 64GB eMMC, and a dual-storage option via an M.2 NVMe Gen 4 interface.

  • Development tooling includes Ubuntu/Linux Debian on the main processor, Arduino Core on Zephyr OS for the microcontroller, and integration with Arduino App Lab and Edge Impulse Studio for offline AI model deployment.

  • Availability is planned for 2026, with broader rollout expected later in the year.

  • Details on additional specifications or pricing were not disclosed in the announcement.

  • The SBC features a Raspberry Pi-style 40-pin GPIO header, compatibility with Arduino Uno shields, and solderless Qwiic connectors for easy peripheral integration.

  • Arduino situates Ventuno Q within the UNO Q lineage, noting the 21st anniversary and signaling that further details and pricing will be revealed on the Arduino website.

  • As a cheaper option, Uno Q is highlighted as an Arduino-branded SBC available in the Arduino Store on Amazon.

  • The design emphasizes UNO shield compatibility and broader ecosystem hardware to ease the shift from maker boards to AI development.

  • Initial availability will be through the Arduino Store and retailers including DigiKey, Farnell, Mouser, and RS.

  • Shipping is planned in Q2 2026 from Arduino Store and listed resellers.
