Arduino Opens Pre-Orders for the $299 VENTUNO Q Edge-AI Board
- Arduino, a Qualcomm subsidiary, opened worldwide pre-orders for the VENTUNO Q on 25 August 2026 through its store and distributors including DigiKey, Farnell, Mouser and RS, at $299 on Arduino's US store[1][2]
- Arduino first announced the board on 9 March 2026 ahead of Embedded World in Nuremberg; its name is Italian for 'twenty-one', marking Arduino's 21st anniversary[3]
- Under a new 'Works with Arduino' program, SECO and Toradex will offer the same Dragonwing IQ8 processor as production modules[1]
- Fabio Violante said the board gives developers tools 'to build machines that don't just think, but do'[1]
Notable features
- Dual-brain design: Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-8275 with up to 40 dense TOPS plus an STM32H5 real-time microcontroller[1][3]
- 16 GB LPDDR5, 64 GB eMMC and M.2 NVMe expansion[1]
- Ships with Ubuntu; Arduino App Lab runs curated NPU-optimised LLMs, VLMs and vision models, Hugging Face GGUF models, or Edge Impulse-trained ones[1]
- Arduino Core on Zephyr RTOS for motors, CAN-FD, PWM and high-speed GPIO[1]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
