element14, an Avnet Community, is inviting engineers and makers to apply for the opportunity to evaluate Arduino’s new VENTUNO Q single-board computer (SBC) and share their findings with the global community.
Building on Arduino’s expanding portfolio of development platforms, the VENTUNO Q combines a Qualcomm Dragonwing IP8 Series SoC capable of running Debian or Ubuntu Linux with an ARM Cortex-based STM32H5F5 microcontroller for real-time control. This dual-processor architecture enables developers to explore a wide range of embedded, AI, robotics and Edge computing applications.
Engineers selected for the RoadTest will receive a VENTUNO Q and supporting accessories free of charge. Participants are encouraged to design and document a project or evaluation plan, test the board’s capabilities, and publish a detailed review on the element14 Community. Once the review is complete, participants keep the hardware.
The RoadTest program is designed to provide engineers with hands-on access to emerging technologies while helping the broader community gain practical insights from real-world testing. Potential project areas include autonomous robotics, machine vision, industrial automation, traffic monitoring, and offline AI-powered applications.
To apply, members should outline their technical background, proposed project or test plan, and the specific aspects of the VENTUNO Q they intend to evaluate, such as performance, power efficiency, networking capabilities, software integration, or expansion flexibility.
Applications are open until 9th October 2026. Registration to join the element14 Community is free and required to participate.
