Arduino® VENTUNO™ Q gives engineering teams a fast way to prototype AI-enabled applications on the Dragonwing IQ8 Series. When it’s time to move to production, the requirements change: reliability, software maintainability, cybersecurity, and long-term deployment.

As part of the Works with Arduino™ program, SOM-SMARC-Dragonwing-IQ8 provides a recognized path from Arduino prototyping to industrial deployment. Built on the same hardware and software foundation as VENTUNO Q, it brings your validated AI proof of concept into a production-ready SMARC architecture with Clea OS lifecycle management and SECO design-in support.​

Request a sample to evaluate the transition from prototype to production.

Arduino-Prototyping
robot-at-work

Your model is validated. Your concept runs. But turning an embedded AI prototype into a product means solving what the demo does not cover.

Industrial I/Os. Carrier board design. A managed OS. Security updates. Compliance. Long-term supply. This is what you gain with SOM-SMARC-Dragonwing-IQ8: an industrial system-on-module built on the same Dragonwing IQ8 technology, designed to support your product from evaluation through deployment.

Request sample

Expose the I/O your product needs: CAN-FD, PCIe Gen4, MIPI-CSI, dual Ethernet, and other industrial interfaces through the carrier board.

Bridge the transition from prototype to SMARC with SECO engineering support for I/O mapping, carrier board design, BSP, drivers, and embedded integration.

Move from single-device testing to managed deployment with Clea OS, Ai workload portability, OTA updates, SBOM support, cybersecurity patching, and long-term software maintenance.

Build on an industrial platform designed for long-term availability, compliance readiness, and supply continuity - with one partner from evaluation to production.

Tell us about your project so our team can assess sample allocation and guide the next technical steps. Be among the first to hear about future evaluation opportunities and platform availability.

The sample program is intended for OEMs, engineering teams, and companies evaluating industrial Edge AI products based on Qualcomm Dragonwing™ IQ8 technology. Priority will be given to projects moving from validated prototype to industrial design-in.​

No. Sample requests are reviewed based on project fit, application, timeline, and availability. SECO will contact qualified applicants to define the next technical steps.

SECO will review the information provided in the form and assess whether the project matches the current sample allocation criteria. If the request is qualified, our team will get in touch to discuss the application, technical requirements, and next steps.

Arduino VENTUNO Q is designed for fast prototyping on the Qualcomm Dragonwing™ IQ8 platform. SOM-SMARC-Dragonwing-IQ8 is SECO’s industrial SMARC path for teams moving toward production, with carrier board guidance, lifecycle management, and long-term support.

No. The SECO SOM does not replicate the Arduino architecture 1:1 and does not include the microcontroller present in the Arduino solution. I/O is exposed through the carrier board, with migration guidance and I/O mapping documentation planned to support the transition.

Not necessarily. SECO supports the transition with carrier board guidance, I/O mapping, BSP, driver integration, and embedded engineering support to help move from prototype hardware to an industrial SMARC architecture.
