Last year, Dutch startup UP launched a crowdfunding campaign for the UP Board — a credit card-sized board powered by the Intel Atom x5-Z8350 — and put it into the hands of more than 12,000 Makers. Now, the team has returned to Kickstarter with an ultra-compact single-board computer, the UP² (UP Squared).

With hopes of bridging the gap between the Maker and industrial markets, the UP² is equipped the latest Intel Apollo Lake Celeron and Pentium processors, as well as an onboard Intel Altera MAX 10 FPGA. The SBC packs plenty of I/O ports including two HDMI, two Gigabit Ethernet, four USB 3.0, two USB 2.0, a SATA3 connector, an M.2 2230 slot, a mini PCIe slot, and several other hacker-friendly features like a 40-pin GP-bus and 60-pin EXHAT.

UP² runs many different operating systems — Windows 10, Windows IoT Core, Linux and Android — and supports a growing ecosystem of technologies, ranging from Intel RealSense for robotic projects, to LoRa for IoT gateways, to HMS for industrial automation.

Think you’re ‘UP’ for a new board? Then check out its Kickstarter campaign here!
