The UP Core is a complete system and features onboard WiFi and Bluetooth. Powered by an Intel Atom x5 Z8350 processor (codenamed Cherry Trail), the board offers up to 4GB DDR3L memory and up to 64GB eMMC storage, and its Intel Gen 8 HD 400 GPU enables 3D graphics. With a pair of MIPI camera connectors, the board is an excellent fit for facial recognition applications, and it also provides a powerful solution for any IoT system.

The UP Core houses a USB3.0 port, additional USB2.0 pin headers, and HDMI and eDP ports. Expansion is easily achieved through a 100 pin docking connector, and AAEON can help customers develop and manufacture custom carrier boards. The UP Core supports Android 6.0, Windows 10, Windows IoT Core, Linux, Ubuntu, and Yocto, and with an operating temperature range of 0 to 60oC, it can be deployed in a variety of locations.

“UP Core is pushing back the boundaries of what can be achieved with a maker board,” said Irene Lin, AAEON design manufacturing service product manager. “The board is setting new standards and opening up a new range of options for application developers.”
