Versalogic provides support for Ubuntu 64-bit (latest version) and Windows 10/11 64-bit for the board. The company also released the VersaAPI Library of API calls for reading and controlling on-board devices using Visual Studio and C/C++ software development interfaces on Windows and Linux.

The Raptor’s small size makes it suitable for drones and other uncrewed systems (UxVs). The board can be expanded with a range of accessories such as single and dual GbE M.2 cards,
a 2x UART + GPIO M.2 module, various NVMe SSDs, display adapters (e.g., mDP to HDMI), and so on. It provides an even smaller alternative to DFI RPP051 Pico-ITX SBC, also offered with a range of  13th Gen Intel Core embedded SoCs, starting from the Intel Processor U300E.

Versalogic Raptor development samples will be available by the end of July 2026, and the company promises long-term availability with a 10+ year typical production lifecycle. However, pricing information has yet to be provided.  Check out the product page and press release for more details.
