Arduino UNO Q is now available with 4GB RAM and 32GB storage!

We’ve already seen lots of amazing projects based on Arduino UNO Q come up since its launch in early October – but we’re doubling down anyway! 

Today, we are launching a new Arduino UNO Q variant with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage, allowing all of you to dream bigger and go further, while still enjoying the same Arduino UNO Q form factor and ease of use. 

4 good reasons to choose 4GB

In this 4GB variant, Arduino UNO Q still leverages a unique combination of powerful Qualcomm Dragonwing QRB2210 microprocessor and real-time STM32U585 microcontroller, but can now better meet the needs of developers who require a more ample memory configuration.

Choosing between the variants comes down to your priorities: the 2GB variant of Arduino UNO Q provides optimized efficiency, while the new 4GB variant maximizes versatility.

While the first variant of Arduino UNO Q remains a capable and powerful board, there are four specific situations where you’ll want to opt for the new one:

1. This new version is recommended if you intend to use Arduino UNO Q as a standalone SBC (single-board computer) – connecting a monitor, keyboard, and mouse via the USB-C hub and running the Debian Linux OS on the board with a graphical user interface. To enjoy a responsive Linux desktop experience in this case, the 4GB RAM provides a comfortable baseline.

2. In the same way, the extra 2GB of RAM are crucial to prevent slowdowns and crashes if your application involves multiple, simultaneous high-level processes – e.g. running the Arduino App Lab on the board, hosting a local web server, managing database logging, and streaming camera input all at once. The 2GB variant of Arduino UNO Q remains perfectly suitable if you need to run a single, dedicated, lightweight process on the MPU.

3. Choose the 4GB / 32GB variant if you plan to use larger, more complex AI or machine learning models – such as high-resolution computer vision or sophisticated audio processing. While the 2GB variant is suitable for smaller, memory-optimized tinyML applications, “heftier” models require a larger memory footprint to load files and process input data efficiently.

4. If you want substantial built-in storage for logs and data, as well as a robust development environment, the 32GB eMMC gives you all the space you need for numerous Linux packages, large project assets, or long-term sensor data logs.

More options, more power to you! 

No matter which variant is best suited for your project, Arduino UNO Q is the starting point that can help you bring to life infinite ideas because its dual brain bridges high-performance computing with real-time control. 

We designed it to take you “from blink to think” in no time! Also thanks to the new Arduino App Lab, a whole new, all-in-one developer environment where you can seamlessly combine Arduino sketches, Python scripts, and containerized AI models. 

Just pick Arduino UNO Q from our store – in the cost-efficient 2GB variant or ready-to-expand 4GB variant – to discover how easy development, robotics, and edge computing can be. The new Arduino UNO Q 4GB variant is also currently available to order from RS Components, Farnell, DigiKey, Mouser, and Robu.in, and other authorized distributors and resellers.

Qualcomm branded products are products of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries.
