The UDOO BOLT is a quantum leap compared to current maker boards: a portable, breakthrough supercomputer that goes up to 3.6 GHz thanks to the brand-new AMD Ryzen™ Embedded V1000 SoC, a top-notch, multicore CPU with a mobile GPU on par with GTX 950M and an integrated Arduino™-compatible platform, all wrapped into one.
A monster so powerful that it can handle any current AAA game, delivering an impressive gaming experience at HD framerates.
AAA Gaming, high-end VR, cryptocurrency mining, client-side 3D rendering, AI, IoT, Edge Computing, Computer Vision, Real-Time Big Data analysis: with the UDOO BOLT that’s all within your reach.
Take a look at the review made by EXPLAINING COMPUTER:https://youtu.be/8DINmS5YBD4
The UDOO BOLT comes with 32 GB of eMMC. Also, thanks to the PCI-Express 4 lanes exposed on the M2 Slot you can add even more storage with a faster-than-average speed: the UDOO BOLT is indeed compatible with the fastest SSDs, NVMe SSDs, which go at double the speed of UDOO X86! In other words, you can boot from everywhere.
A true next-level mobile supercomputer.
The UDOO BOLT runs any software developed for the PC.
This means any program, app, framework or Operating System that you can run on your desktop PC - and you need no driver nor special workaround to make it work: the UDOO BOLT is plug and play.
Linux® (any x64 distro) and Windows®: everything works without a hitch.
For the average user as well as for the Pro, this is a godsend.
Regardless of your computer skills, you’ll be able to use the UDOO BOLT from the get-go. Just plug the board, download the operating system you want to use, install it and you’re ready for prime time.
And it doesn’t stop here: during and after the campaign we’re going to release even more resources to simplify your initiation in the DIY domain and make a maker out of you.
In a not-so-distant future, robots will be everywhere, much like computers nowadays.
But to build the I-Robot world we need to learn robotics right now. We need a computer that can turn into a robot and program the physical world. Here comes the UDOO BOLT.
The UDOO BOLT mounts an Arduino™ Leonardo-compatible microcontroller, based on ATmega32U4. It has the same pin functionality of Arduino™ Uno, plus some advantages: up to 12 analog inputs instead of 6. 7 PWM pins. The internal USB connection can implement other functions than serial UART like MIDI or Keyboard. Software-wise, the Arduino™ Leonardo onboard offers all the perks of Arduino™ Uno: Arduino™ IDE full compatibility; compatibility with all the sketches, tutorials and resources available in the Arduino™ community that run on Arduino™ Leonardo.
On top of that, the UDOO BOLT provides you with the advantage of managing sensors through the Arduino™ platform without the welder thanks to the Grove connectors already onboard.
But wait, there’s more! Not only you get the Arduino™-dedicated I/Os, but also I/Os controlled by the processor.
Last but not least, we’ve also added an embedded controller that can manage UART, I2C, and SPI, not to mention a keyboard scan, so to control the software running on the UDOO BOLT. In other words, you can create an interface for the software controllable with the keyboard. As a cherry on top, the UDOO BOLT features the communication between the CPU and the Arduino™-compatible platform via USB. Thanks to this distinctive feature, the board may allow the Arduino™-compatible microcontroller to run when the powerful CPU is turned off, and wake it up when something happened in the world.
The UDOO BOLT is the world’s first Maker PC able to drive 4 - FOUR! - screens in 4K Ultra HD resolution. You can finally watch your favorite movie at 4K resolution 60fps. And on top of that, the UDOO BOLT also supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) for even more breathtaking experiences.
Maker boards are not suitable for Virtual Reality. Until today. With a stellar GPU, an insane CPU, and an Arduino™-compatible platform ready to be hacked, the UDOO BOLT is the front door to VR, AR, and Mixed Reality. It works with any headset - Oculus, Windows Mixed Reality... you name it. Not to mention the compatibility with motion controllers of any kind! Tons of peripherals - 2 USB-C and 2x HDMI 2.0 for video gaming in 4K Ultra HD. Use your UDOO BOLT to build your own interactive installation, exploiting Windows Mixed Reality, Unity, OpenCV or whatever framework or library ever written for the PC for designing Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality worlds. Let’s cut the chit-chat: the UDOO BOLT is the only true VR-ready Maker PC on Earth. Now try this with a desktop computer...
Speed is a critical factor in the field of Artificial Intelligence. As regards object detection, in a few years we've gone through a thousand-fold improvement, from twenty seconds per image to twenty milliseconds per image. Thanks to this, new, world-changing applications will be commonplace. But there needs to be a platform on par with this exponential increase.
Enter the UDOO BOLT. Many AI tools are now available for all the advanced makers like Tensorflow (deep learning) or OpenCV (Computer Vision). Tensorflow is an open source framework provided by Google, designed to streamline the development of advanced analytics and prediction applications based on machine learning, deep learning, and other statistical methods. OpenCV is another open source project consisting in a library developed to support computer vision applications. It provides many functions, routines, and tools for video capture, analysis, editing, and manipulation, including some pattern recognition functionalities. These tools require enough computational power to be unusable on most of the maker boards available on the market. UDOO BOLT provides a CPU with its embedded GPU capable to satisfy AI tool power requirements, including the OpenCL compatibility and proprietary driver support.
It is 100% compatible with any software for Interactive Art that already works on your PC: MAX MSP, OpenFramework, Pure Data, Unity, Processing, Windows Mixed Reality... Should we go on?
