Yes, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. has acquired Arduino. This acquisition will help Arduino accelerate its commitment to accessibility and innovation.

To empower developers and enterprises with a comprehensive edge computing stack that spans from hardware to cloud – combining Arduino’s accessibility with Qualcomm Technologies’ products, and integrating solutions from other Qualcomm companies including Edge Impulse and Foundries.io for streamlined AI development and deployment.

Arduino will retain its independent brands, tools, and mission – with greater reach and resources thanks to Qualcomm. In addition, Arduino remains committed to openness and multi-vendor hardware support – including the development of future boards which can use processors from Qualcomm Technologies.

No. This strengthens our mission: to make advanced technology accessible to everyone. Arduino’s DNA – openness, simplicity, and innovation – remains unchanged.

No changes expected at this time. All existing boards and support will continue. In fact, we expect improvements in performance, connectivity, and scalability across the portfolio over time.

Arduino is committed to providing an evolving suite of software tools. Current software tools, such as IDE and CLI, will continue to work with our products for Sketches and MCU programming. The new Arduino App Lab and App CLI will expand developers’ options by combining MCU and MPU development with even more ease of use and versatility.

UNO Q is Arduino’s first dual-brain board powered by the Qualcomm Dragonwing™ platform, which is designed to enable a unique combination of Linux® apps, real-time control, and lightweight AI – also thanks to the new Arduino App Lab, an all-in-one development environment designed for seamless app building. Find out more on the dedicated product page.

No. This is an expansion, not a shift. Entry-level and maker boards remain central to Arduino’s mission.

Yes. The open-source foundation of Arduino will remain. Hardware schematics, SDKs, libraries, and IDEs will continue to be open and community-focused.

Yes! Yes! Arduino remains a community-focused platform. Contributions, libraries, forums, and feedback continue as before – only now with more possibilities.

Yes! Our community of millions of developers is core to this strategy. With Qualcomm Technologies’ support, we are poised to expand educational outreach, content, and hardware options.

Yes. Arduino Cloud will continue to evolve and may also integrate with new offerings from Qualcomm and partners over time.

No immediate changes are expected. For volume deployments, professional support plans and secure deployment tools may be offered – with transparent pricing tiers.

With Edge Impulse, a Qualcomm company, we’re building an integrated pipeline from sensor data to deployed AI model – optimized for performance and ease of use.

Yes.

Foundries.io, a Qualcomm company, provides secure Linux®, OTA, and CI/CD pipelines for production-ready deployment. It will complement Arduino’s new Linux®-capable boards and enable full lifecycle management for edge fleets.
