Review of Intel-based UP AI development kits – Part 1: Unboxing and first boot to Ubuntu Pro 24.04

UP AI Development Kits review

AAEON sent me three Intel-based UP AI development kits for review, namely the credit card-sized, Intel N150-based UP TWL, the Intel N150-based UP Squared Pro TWL with M.2 expansion slots and a Hailo-8L module, and the more powerful UP Xtreme ARL equipped with a 14-core Intel Core Ultra 5 225H processor. They offer entry-level, mid-range, and high-end x86-based alternatives to the AAEON NV8600-Nano AI developer kit I reviewed last August, equipped with an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 8GB. All three models ship with Ubuntu Pro 24.04 and support the UP AI Toolkit and Network Optix’ Nx Meta IP video management platform. I’ll review all three models independently, but in this first part, I’ll go through the hardware and quickly try one of the boards. Unboxing Those are development kits that ship with not only the board, but also the same USB VGA camera provided with the NV8600-Nano kit, power supplies, […]
