Qualcomm Buys Open-Source Electronics Firm Arduino
Qualcomm acquires Arduino to expand AI and edge computing in robotics, leveraging Arduino's 33 million developers and launching the $45-$55 Uno Q board with Dragonwing chip.
- On February 28, 2024, Qualcomm revealed its acquisition of Arduino, the well-known open-source electronics company, during an industry event in Spain.
- Qualcomm sought to expand its reach into the developer and robotics communities as smartphones plateau and Apple develops its own modem chips.
- The joint press event in Turin also saw Arduino debut the UNO Q board featuring Qualcomm’s Dragonwing QRB2210 processor and a new App Lab developer environment.
- Arduino CEO Fabio Violante described the introduction of UNO Q as an initial step, expressing enthusiasm for providing accessible AI development tools to users worldwide and making the process easier and more inclusive for all.
- The deal, with undisclosed financial details, will keep Arduino as an independent subsidiary and aims to democratize AI and edge computing for Arduino’s 33 million users.
