Overview
Arduino VENTUNO Q is the company's most capable edge-AI board: a 'dual-brain' architecture pairing a Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-8275 octa-core Kryo SoC (up to 2.35 GHz, Adreno 623 GPU, Hexagon NPU rated at 40 TOPS) with an STM32H5F5 real-time microcontroller on Zephyr for deterministic motor control — 16 GB LPDDR5, 64 GB eMMC plus M.2 NVMe, tri-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, 2.5 GbE, CAN-FD, three MIPI-CSI camera connectors, and headers for Arduino UNO shields, Modulino nodes and Raspberry Pi HATs. Ubuntu ships pre-installed via Canonical; Arduino App Lab runs curated models (Qwen 3, Gemma 4, Whisper, MediaPipe, YoloX), brings your own from Hugging Face, or trains via Edge Impulse, with ROS 2 support for robotics workflows. Pre-orders opened August 25, 2026 at $299 introductory. Designs scale to production Dragonwing IQ8 SOMs from SECO and Toradex under the 'Works with Arduino' program. Verification level: partial — core specs are corroborated, edge cases are maker claims. Arduino VENTUNO Q is in the pre-order phase — expect a wait between deposit and delivery. Positioned for edge ai robotics; mobile robot brains; computer vision; stem. Listed pricing starts around $299 (introductory pre-order price). The published spec sheet puts it at 0 of rated runtime.
