UP Squared Pro TWL AI Dev Kit Review – Intel N150 + Hailo-8L accelerator tested on Ubuntu 24.04

I’ve been asked to review three Intel-based UP AI development kits running Ubuntu 24.04 Pro. Last time, I tested the UP TWL SBC with Nx Meta and UP AI Toolkit, and most AI workloads would pass, but since these were running on the Intel N150 CPU or GPU, the performance was not optimal for most. I’ll now switch to the UP Squared Pro TWL “mid-range” AI devkit review with another Intel Processor N150 SBC fitted with a 13 TOPS Hailo-8L M.2 AI accelerator. Both the UP TWL and UP Squared Pro TWL come with a 64GB eMMC flash, and I found out it was rather tight since AI software and models can take a lot of space. The UP Squared Pro TWL has a few M.2 sockets, so I’ll install an NVMe SSD to expand storage before installing the UP AI toolkit. As usual, I’ll run a few benchmarks and […]

NestDisk – An Intel N150 NAS, mini PC, and AI Box with four M.2 PCIe slots

Youyeetoo NestDisk in an Intel N150 mini PC that can be used as a mini NAS or AI box, thanks to four M.2 PCIe slots that can be fitted with NVMe SSDs or AI accelerator cards and two 2.5GbE network ports. The computer features 12GB LPDDR5 of memory, a 64GB eMMC flash, two HDMI 2.1 ports, a headphone jack, WiFi 6 connectivity, a full-function USB-C port, and three USB 3.2 ports. It’s not a fanless design, since it’s actively cooled with a 30mm internal “silent fan”, and an external USB dual fan accessory is available as an option. NestDisk specifications: SoC Intel Processor N150 (default) Quad-core “Twin Lake” processor @ up to 3.6 GHz (Turbo) with 6MB cache GPU – 24EU Intel UHD graphics @ 1000 MHz Options for Processor N250, N350, or N350 CPUs (but not for sale yet) Memory – 12GB LPDDR5 (option for 6GB, 16GB); note: soldered […]

UP TWL AI Dev Kit review – Benchmarks, features testing, and AI workloads on Ubuntu 24.04

Earlier this month, I started the review of the Intel-based UP AI development kits with an unboxing of the UP TWL, UP Squared Pro TWL, and UP Xtreme ARL single board computers. I’ve now had time to test the first model, the credit card-sized, Intel Processor N150-based UP TWL SBC with 64GB eMMC flash preloaded with Ubuntu 24.04. As usual, I’ll run a few benchmarks and test the board’s key hardware features, but I’ll then focus on the AI part since that’s what the kit is for. Note that the UP TWL AI Dev Kit is an entry-level solution, and all AI workloads will be running on the CPU or the integrated GPU, since there’s no dedicated AI accelerator or an M.2 slot to add one on this model. In the next parts of the review, the UP Squared Pro TWL adds an Hailo-8L AI accelerator, and the UP Xtreme […]

LattePanda IOTA review – An Intel N150 + RP2040 SBC tested with Windows 11, UPS expansion, PoE, NVMe SSD, and more

I’ve received a review sample of the LattePanda IOTA single-board computer (SBC) from DFRobot. It is a compact, palm-sized SBC powered by an Intel Processor N150 quad-core Twin Lake CPU, and featuring 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 64 GB of onboard eMMC storage. It also integrates a Raspberry Pi RP2040 co-processor for handling I/O operations, providing greater flexibility for embedded and automation applications. LattePanda IOTA unboxing The parcel was shipped from China and arrived safely in a standard cardboard box. Inside were several smaller boxes containing the following components, with foam padding that was slightly loose but still provided adequate protection. All components arrived in good condition. I received a total of seven items from DFRobot, which are listed below. LattePanda IOTA (8GB RAM, 64GB eMMC flash) Smart UPS Expansion Board: A plug-and-play UPS module for the LattePanda IOTA that provides stable, continuous power with intelligent management and supports […]

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

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, […]
