Called Up Squared TWL and Up Squared Pro TWL, they are also available with Processor N250 or Processor N150 CPUs.

The non-Pro measures 85.6 x 90mm and includes two RS-232/422/485 pin wafers, three USB ports, and a 40-pin HAT connector offering GPIO, SPI, I2C, I2S and UART.


There are soldered LPDDR5 options up to 16Gbyte alongside 128Gbyte of eMMC. More storage can be added though its M.2 2280 M-Key slot, and there is a M.2 2230 E-Key slot for a Wi-Fi module.

LPDDR5 is the same and on-board eMMC is down to 64GB, but it gets the M.2 2280 M-Key slot as well as SATA solid-state drive support.

An M.2 3052 B-Key with a Nano SIM slot is added for 5G/LTE comms, and there is a dedicated 61way flexi-connector for MIPI camera support.

Three displays can be connected to HDMI 2.0b, DP 1.2, and DP-1.4a-via-USB-Type-C.

2.5Gbit/s Ethernet is covered by two RJ-45 ports, backed by drivers for the Intel I226-IT controller.

All this requires a 12Vdc input at up to 6A.

Both board can operate over -20 to 70°C and are intended to run Microsoft Windows 11, Ubuntu 22.04 or Yocto 5.1.
