Overview
The successor to the UP Squared, which was heralded as the ‘the world’s fastest x86 pro maker board’, the UP Squared V2 introduces exceptional improvements on every element of its predecessor to become the ultimate example of what a powerful, cost-efficient maker board can be.
With distinctions such as a 40% improvement in CPU performance, industry-leading expansion options, and exceptional I/O density hosted on the same 3.37″ x 3.54″ (85mm x 90mm) form factor, the UP Squared V2 cannot be beaten on price, performance, or development options for the UP Squared community.
40% More Processing Power with Elkhart Lake
Powered by the Intel® Celeron® N6210 Pentium® J6426 Processor SoC (formerly Elkhart Lake), the UP Squared V2 offers a 40% improvement in CPU performance compared to the UP Squared, along with 1.7x the single-thread performance and 1.5x the multi-thread performance. Compounding this, the UP Squared V2 is equipped with up to 16GB LPDDR4 system memory, enabling faster data processing speed to optimize AI inferencing applications.
Next Generation Graphics
The UP Squared V2 also contains Intel® Gen11 UHD Graphics, which offers twice the performance of the previous generation, enabling the UP Squared V2 to support up to three simultaneous 4K displays via its HDMI 1.4, DP 1.2, and eDP 1.3 ports.
Industry-Leading Expansion
Boasting an enhanced expansion interface featuring M.2 2230 E-Key, M.2 2280 M-Key, and SATA III slots; the UP Squared V2 supports AI, PCIe, and Wi-Fi modules, as well as providing additional security via its TPM 2.0 port.
Dedicated High Definition Audio Support
Equipped with an already dense I/O, the UP Squared V2 is further tailored for user-friendly functionality, with a dedicated HD audio wafer removing the need to use the I2S on the board’s 40-pin HAT when incorporating audio features to applications.
User-Friendly Interface with Enhanced Data Transmission
While the UP Squared was only equipped with UART from 10 pin header, the UP Squared V2 contains an additional RS-232 pin header, providing a more user-friendly interface for industrial applications. The RS-232 pin also offers an increase in data transmission distance.
