LattePanda IOTA Palm-sized x86 Single Board Computer (Intel N150, 8GB RAM / 64GB eMMC)

The LattePanda IOTA stands as a remarkable fusion of compact design and high-performance computing. Fitting in the palm of your hand, this x86 single-board computer seamlessly transitions from rapid prototyping to commercial deployment. Equipped with the Intel Processor N150 and versatile RP2040 co-processor, it elevates computing power to new heights, ensuring readiness for both inventive projects and demanding commercial applications.

Retaining the familiar LattePanda V1 form factor, the IOTA offers a hassle-free upgrade path, preserving project continuity with minimal changes. Its compact dimensions of 88mm x 70mm make it perfect for space-constrained settings such as robotics and smart terminal applications, widening the scope of embedded system deployments.

The powerful Intel Twin Lake N150 processor and LPDDR5 memory deliver eight times the CPU performance of its predecessor, enabling smooth multitasking across diverse applications. With configurable thermal design power between 6W and 15W, it balances energy efficiency and performance, accommodating both silent operations and high-load tasks.

Comprehensive connectivity options include three USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, HDMI 2.1 and eDP outputs, along with M.2 E-Key and PCIe FPC expansion interfaces. Thus, LattePanda IOTA facilitates seamless integration with peripherals, enhancing its versatility across multiple use cases.

The dual-processor setup, featuring the RP2040 alongside the Intel N150, provides real-time I/O control and sensor data acquisition. This strategic distribution of tasks enhances system responsiveness and functional flexibility, optimizing the workload on the main processor.

Expandability is a hallmark of the LattePanda IOTA, with various dedicated expansion boards such as an Uninterruptible Power Supply, PoE functionality, and 4G LTE connectivity. These augment the IOTA’s capabilities, supporting a range of applications from remote monitoring to edge computing.

For optimal performance, installing a heatsink is essential to prevent overheating. Although the IOTA requires a separately sourced operating system, its compatibility with Windows and Ubuntu broadens user choice. The accessories kit, including essential components like a heatsink and Wi-Fi module, enriches the out-of-the-box experience, allowing users to leverage the IOTA’s capabilities immediately.
