AAEON Reimagines its Flagship UP Board with the Introduction of the UP 710S
AAEON's UP brand, which began with the creation of the credit-card sized UP developer board almost a decade ago, has introduced the UP 710S, a modernized, slimline 85 mm x 56 mm single-board that retains the DNA of its iconic predecessor, but with the addition of new features and greater performance to reflect the technological advancements made over the years.
While the UP 710S retains the credit-card sized form factor of the original UP Board, AAEON has reduced the board's height by 10 mm in order to make the already compact board more suitable for deployment in space-constrained environments, with its height now measuring just 25.13 mm. While such a design change would typically require a tradeoff in the form of a reduction in I/O options, but the UP 710S maintains key functions like GPIO, I2C, SPI, and COM that were previously attainable via a 40-pin HAT through dedicated wafers.
