<p>EE Times 采访了 Arduino 的高级副总裁 Guneet Bedi，他明确表示，尽管收购后，Arduino 的治理结构仍然保持不变。</p>
<p>“作为高通的一个业务单元，Arduino 继续独立决定其产品组合，没有任何方向被强加于它应该或不应该走的方向，” Bedi 说。“Arduino 所构建的一切将保持开放，并向开发者公开可用，设计工程师、学生和创客将继续是主要关注点。”</p>
<p>这一保证很重要，因为 Arduino 的吸引力一直在于其可及性。Bedi 指出，Arduino 长期以来一直是嵌入式电子设备最大的开源生态系统，旨在简化复杂技术。尽管公司在微控制器和广泛的供应商生态系统方面取得了稳步进展，但一个差距变得越来越明显。</p>
<p>“掌握基本嵌入式工作流程的开发者现在在询问如何在边缘运行大型语言模型，并以开源思维与人工智能进行视觉和语音的合作，” 他说。</p>
<p>根据 Bedi 的说法，这正是高通技术变得相关的地方。“高通的芯片组性能高，同时功耗非常低，这源于它们的移动和安卓手机传统。尽管技术出色，但由于成本和复杂性，设计工程师并不容易接触到。这使得它成为一个强有力的契合，” 他说。</p>

<h3><strong>对工程师的变化</strong></h3>
<p>几年前，我开始设计一个基于物联网的家庭自动化项目。最初是一个典型的基于 Linux 的板子与 Arduino Nano 配对，迅速变成了一团电路板、线缆和时间上的变通。</p>
<p>这一个人经历帮助框定了 Uno Q 试图真正改变的内容。Arduino 并不是突然变得更强大，而是变得不那么分散。Arduino 不再强迫开发者将计算和实时控制分开，而是将这两个角色合并为一个平台。</p>
<p>“归根结底，我们并没有偏离我们的传统，” Bedi 说。“你仍然拥有一个实时微控制器，仍然以 Arduino 开发者习惯的方式编写代码。我们添加的是计算，而不强迫人们改变他们的工作方式。”</p>
<p>Uno Q 将基于 Linux 的计算系统与 STM32 系列的实时微控制器结合在一起。“你不需要两个不同的开发环境或两个不同的硬件平台，” Bedi 补充道。</p>
<p>这种统一是通过 App Lab 实现的，它将 Arduino 熟悉的基于草图的方法扩展到 Linux 世界。Arduino 选择了标准的 Debian 上游，而不是引入定制的操作系统。</p>
<p>“我们并没有将开发者锁定在任何东西上，” Bedi 说。“这是标准的 Debian，完全开放。”</p>
<p>App Lab 引入了可重用的 Linux 组件，扮演着草图在嵌入式开发中曾经扮演的角色。“目标不是从头教人们 Linux，” 他说。“而是让他们以学习嵌入式的方式使用计算。”</p>

<p>这一区别很重要，特别是对于在收购后对供应商锁定感到谨慎的开发者。</p>
<p>Uno Q 确实与 Raspberry Pi 和 Nvidia Jetson 等平台直接竞争，但 Bedi 将差异的框架更多地放在灵活性上，而不是原始性能上。</p>
<p>“当你在这些平台上构建时，你被锁定在板上，” 他说。“在这里，你可以构建原型，如果你喜欢它，你也可以获得芯片并设计自己的硬件。”</p>
<p>内置存储消除了对外部组件的需求，Uno Q 的定位不再是更快的板，而是简化了日益复杂的开发堆栈。</p>
<p>Bedi 认为，高通的支持可能会推动 Arduino 向激进的货币化或仅限企业的服务发展，这种担忧是 “错位的”。他迅速指出，Arduino 的企业足迹在收购前就已经存在多年。</p>
<p>“在收购之前，Arduino 已经通过其业务——创客、教育和 Arduino Pro，良好地服务于企业开发者。Arduino Pro 于三年前与大型硅片供应商和企业客户推出。如今，我们的开发者基础中大约 40% 到 50% 是专业设计工程师，包括大型汽车公司的团队，” Bedi 说。</p>
<p>他解释说，Uno Q 引入的是专业用例与 Arduino 制造者根源之间的桥梁。“我们不仅仅想坚持参考设计。我们想在物理人工智能时代重新定义原型设计，” 他说。</p>
<h3><strong>早期反应与市场方向</strong></h3>
<p>贝迪指出，Uno Q 宣布后的早期反应表明，对机器人技术和工业自动化的强烈兴趣，同时家庭自动化也成为另一个主要领域。他提到了一些用例，比如本地语音控制助手和无需云依赖的面部识别门铃。</p>

</div><p>A quick visit to the Arduino Project Hub reveals more than 6,000 projects, ranging from simple sensor experiments to near production-grade systems. So, when Qualcomm acquired Arduino last month, design engineers around the world wanted clarity on how firmly Arduino would hold on to its open-source philosophy after becoming part of a proprietary, fabless semiconductor company.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>快速访问 Arduino 项目中心可以发现超过 6,000 个项目，从简单的传感器实验到接近生产级的系统。因此，当高通上个月收购 Arduino 时，全球的设计工程师们希望了解在成为一家专有的无晶圆半导体公司后，Arduino 将在多大程度上坚持其开源理念。</p>
</div><p>EE Times spoke to Guneet Bedi, SVP of Arduino, who was unequivocal in saying that Arduino’s governance structure had remained intact even after the acquisition.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>EE Times 采访了 Arduino 的高级副总裁 Guneet Bedi，他明确表示，尽管收购后，Arduino 的治理结构仍然保持不变。</p>
</div><p>“As a business unit within Qualcomm, Arduino continues to make independent decisions on its product portfolio, with no direction imposed on where it should or should not go,” Bedi said. “Everything that Arduino builds will remain open and openly available to developers, with design engineers, students and makers continuing to be the primary focus.”</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>“作为高通的一个业务单元，Arduino 继续独立决定其产品组合，没有任何方向被强加于它应该或不应该走的方向，” Bedi 说。“Arduino 所构建的一切将保持开放，并向开发者公开可用，设计工程师、学生和创客将继续是主要关注点。”</p>
</div><p>That assurance matters because Arduino’s appeal has always rested on accessibility. Bedi pointed out that Arduino has long been the largest open-source ecosystem for embedded electronics, built around simplifying complex technologies. While the company had made steady progress with microcontrollers and a broad vendor ecosystem, one gap had become increasingly obvious.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>这一保证很重要，因为 Arduino 的吸引力一直在于其可及性。Bedi 指出，Arduino 长期以来一直是嵌入式电子设备最大的开源生态系统，旨在简化复杂技术。尽管公司在微控制器和广泛的供应商生态系统方面取得了稳步进展，但一个差距变得越来越明显。</p>
</div><p>“Developers who had mastered basic embedded workflows were now asking how to run large language models at the edge and work with artificial intelligence for vision and voice, with an open source mindset,” he said.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>“掌握基本嵌入式工作流程的开发者现在在询问如何在边缘运行大型语言模型，并以开源思维与人工智能进行视觉和语音的合作，” 他说。</p>
</div><p>According to Bedi, this was where Qualcomm’s technology became relevant. “Qualcomm’s chipsets are high performance while also being very low power, which comes from their mobile and Android phone heritage. Despite being great technology, it is not easily accessible to design engineers because of cost and complexity. That made this a strong fit,” he said.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>根据 Bedi 的说法，这正是高通技术变得相关的地方。“高通的芯片组性能高，同时功耗非常低，这源于它们的移动和安卓手机传统。尽管技术出色，但由于成本和复杂性，设计工程师并不容易接触到。这使得它成为一个强有力的契合，” 他说。</p>
</div><p>The most visible outcome of this acquisition is Uno Q, which Bedi described as being comparable to a mid-tier Android phone in capability, starting at a price of $44. For Arduino, this marked a shift beyond microcontrollers without abandoning them.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>此次收购最明显的结果是 Uno Q，Bedi 将其描述为在能力上可与中档安卓手机相媲美，起价为 44 美元。对于 Arduino 来说，这标志着超越微控制器的转变，而并未放弃它们。</p>

</div><h3><strong>What changes for engineers</strong></h3>
<div class="lb-trans"><h3><strong>对工程师的变化</strong></h3>
</div><p>A couple of years ago, I set out to design an IoT-based home automation project. What began as a typical Linux board-based setup paired with an Arduino Nano quickly turned into a tangle of boards, cables and timing workarounds.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>几年前，我开始设计一个基于物联网的家庭自动化项目。最初是一个典型的基于 Linux 的板子与 Arduino Nano 配对，迅速变成了一团电路板、线缆和时间上的变通。</p>
</div><p>That personal experience helps frame what Uno Q is really trying to change. It is not that Arduino has suddenly become more powerful, but that it has become less fragmented. Instead of forcing developers to stitch together a Linux board for compute and a separate microcontroller for real-time control, Arduino has collapsed both roles into a single platform.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>这一个人经历帮助框定了 Uno Q 试图真正改变的内容。Arduino 并不是突然变得更强大，而是变得不那么分散。Arduino 不再强迫开发者将计算和实时控制分开，而是将这两个角色合并为一个平台。</p>
</div><p>“At the end of the day, we have not gone away from our legacy,” Bedi said. “You still have a real-time microcontroller, and you still write code the way Arduino developers are used to. What we added is compute, without forcing people to change how they work.”</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>“归根结底，我们并没有偏离我们的传统，” Bedi 说。“你仍然拥有一个实时微控制器，仍然以 Arduino 开发者习惯的方式编写代码。我们添加的是计算，而不强迫人们改变他们的工作方式。”</p>
</div><p>Uno Q combines a Linux-based compute system with a real-time microcontroller from the STM32 family. “You do not need two different development environments or two different hardware platforms,” Bedi added.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>Uno Q 将基于 Linux 的计算系统与 STM32 系列的实时微控制器结合在一起。“你不需要两个不同的开发环境或两个不同的硬件平台，” Bedi 补充道。</p>
</div><p>That unification is delivered through App Lab, which extends Arduino’s familiar sketch-based approach into the Linux world. Rather than introducing a customized operating system, Arduino chose standard Debian upstream.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>这种统一是通过 App Lab 实现的，它将 Arduino 熟悉的基于草图的方法扩展到 Linux 世界。Arduino 选择了标准的 Debian 上游，而不是引入定制的操作系统。</p>
</div><p>“We are not locking developers into anything,” Bedi said. “It is standard Debian, completely open.”</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>“我们并没有将开发者锁定在任何东西上，” Bedi 说。“这是标准的 Debian，完全开放。”</p>
</div><p>App Lab introduces reusable Linux components that play the same role sketches once did in embedded development. “The goal is not to teach people Linux from scratch,” he said. “It is to let them use compute the same way they learned embedded.”</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>App Lab 引入了可重用的 Linux 组件，扮演着草图在嵌入式开发中曾经扮演的角色。“目标不是从头教人们 Linux，” 他说。“而是让他们以学习嵌入式的方式使用计算。”</p>
</div><h3><strong>Edge AI without lock-in</strong></h3>
<div class="lb-trans"><h3><strong>无锁定的边缘 AI</strong></h3>
</div><p>That philosophy also shapes how Arduino is approaching edge AI. Pre-built models covering tasks like object detection and voice recognition run locally on the board. App Lab acts as an abstraction layer for acceleration on Qualcomm SoCs, starting with the Qualcomm DragonWing QRB 2210.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>这一理念也塑造了 Arduino 如何接近边缘 AI。涵盖对象检测和语音识别等任务的预构建模型在板上本地运行。App Lab 作为高通 SoC 加速的抽象层，从高通 DragonWing QRB 2210 开始。</p>
</div><p>While the first reference design uses Qualcomm silicon, Bedi was careful to stress that this does not define the roadmap. “There is zero dependency on Qualcomm silicon,” he said. “The architecture is portable. Tomorrow, we can run this on something else.”</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>虽然第一个参考设计使用了高通的硅片，但 Bedi 小心地强调，这并不定义路线图。“对高通硅片没有任何依赖，” 他说。“架构是可移植的。明天，我们可以在其他东西上运行。”</p>
</div><p>That distinction matters, particularly for developers wary of vendor lock-in following the acquisition.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>这一区别很重要，特别是对于在收购后对供应商锁定感到谨慎的开发者。</p>
</div><p>Uno Q does compete directly with platforms like Raspberry Pi and Nvidia Jetson, but Bedi framed the difference less in terms of raw performance and more in flexibility.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>Uno Q 确实与 Raspberry Pi 和 Nvidia Jetson 等平台直接竞争，但 Bedi 将差异的框架更多地放在灵活性上，而不是原始性能上。</p>
</div><p>“When you build on those platforms, you are locked to the board,” he said. “Here, you can build a prototype, and if you like it, you can also get access to the chip and design your own hardware.”</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>“当你在这些平台上构建时，你被锁定在板上，” 他说。“在这里，你可以构建原型，如果你喜欢它，你也可以获得芯片并设计自己的硬件。”</p>
</div><p>With built-in storage removing the need for external components, Uno Q positions itself less as a faster board and more as a way to simplify what had become an increasingly messy development stack.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>内置存储消除了对外部组件的需求，Uno Q 的定位不再是更快的板，而是简化了日益复杂的开发堆栈。</p>
</div><p>Concerns that Qualcomm’s backing might push Arduino toward aggressive monetization or enterprise-only services were, in Bedi’s words, “misplaced.” He was quick to point out that Arduino’s enterprise footprint predates the acquisition by several years.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>Bedi 认为，高通的支持可能会推动 Arduino 向激进的货币化或仅限企业的服务发展，这种担忧是 “错位的”。他迅速指出，Arduino 的企业足迹在收购前就已经存在多年。</p>
</div><p>“Arduino had already been serving enterprise developers well before the acquisition through its businesses—makers, education and Arduino Pro. Arduino Pro was launched three years ago with large silicon vendors and enterprise customers. Today, around 40 to 50 percent of our developer base consists of professional design engineers, including teams inside large automotive companies,” Bedi said.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>“在收购之前，Arduino 已经通过其业务——创客、教育和 Arduino Pro，良好地服务于企业开发者。Arduino Pro 于三年前与大型硅片供应商和企业客户推出。如今，我们的开发者基础中大约 40% 到 50% 是专业设计工程师，包括大型汽车公司的团队，” Bedi 说。</p>
</div><p>What Uno Q introduces, he explained, is a bridge between those professional use cases and Arduino’s maker roots. “We do not just want to stick to reference designs. We want to redefine prototyping in the age of physical artificial intelligence,” he said.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>他解释说，Uno Q 引入的是专业用例与 Arduino 制造者根源之间的桥梁。“我们不仅仅想坚持参考设计。我们想在物理人工智能时代重新定义原型设计，” 他说。</p>
</div><h3><strong>Early reactions and market direction</strong></h3>
<div class="lb-trans"><h3><strong>早期反应与市场方向</strong></h3>
</div><p>Bedi pointed out that early reactions to the Uno Q announcement suggest strong interest in robotics and industrial automation, with home automation emerging as another major area. He cited use cases like local voice-controlled assistants and facial recognition doorbells that operate without cloud dependency.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>贝迪指出，Uno Q 宣布后的早期反应表明，对机器人技术和工业自动化的强烈兴趣，同时家庭自动化也成为另一个主要领域。他提到了一些用例，比如本地语音控制助手和无需云依赖的面部识别门铃。</p>
</div><p>Consumer devices requiring more compute than a simple microcontroller, including kiosks and point-of-sale systems, are also showing traction. Agriculture, somewhat unexpectedly, has emerged as another area of experimentation, with developers using edge compute to process sensor data and control irrigation systems affordably.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>需要比简单微控制器更多计算能力的消费设备，包括自助服务终端和销售点系统，也显示出增长势头。农业，出乎意料地，成为另一个实验领域，开发者利用边缘计算处理传感器数据并以经济的方式控制灌溉系统。</p>
</div><p>Geographically, Bedi said the pattern is broadly similar in India, though industrial automation adoption has been slower.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>在地理上，贝迪表示，印度的模式大致相似，尽管工业自动化的采用速度较慢。</p>
</div><p>“Home automation, agriculture and robotics dominate, alongside experimentation with extended reality devices and payment terminals,” he said.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>“家庭自动化、农业和机器人技术占主导地位，同时也在与扩展现实设备和支付终端进行实验，” 他说。</p>
</div><p>Looking a year ahead, Bedi believes developers should experience continuity rather than disruption. The familiar Arduino approach to embedded and real-time systems remains unchanged, while extending naturally into more compute-intensive applications.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>展望未来一年，贝迪认为开发者应该体验到连续性而非中断。熟悉的 Arduino 嵌入式和实时系统的方法保持不变，同时自然扩展到更多计算密集型应用中。</p>
</div><p>Several early demonstrations hint at what that future might look like. Bedi cited a 3D-printed vehicle controlled entirely by Uno Q, where the developer implemented an advanced driver assistance-style system capable of detecting obstacles and responding in real time. Other examples include non-cloud-dependent home automation using onboard voice models, agricultural systems that process sensor data locally, and vision inspection setups that read labels and detect damage on shipping boxes.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>几项早期演示暗示了未来可能的样子。贝迪提到了一辆完全由 Uno Q 控制的 3D 打印车辆，开发者实现了一种先进的驾驶辅助系统，能够实时检测障碍物并作出反应。其他例子包括使用板载语音模型的非云依赖家庭自动化、在本地处理传感器数据的农业系统，以及读取标签和检测运输箱损坏的视觉检查设置。</p>
</div><p>Taken together, Bedi’s comments suggest that Arduino’s post-acquisition direction is less about changing what Arduino is, and more about expanding what it can realistically be used for, without abandoning the simplicity that made it relevant in the first place.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>综合来看，贝迪的评论表明，Arduino 收购后的方向并不是改变 Arduino 的本质，而是扩展其实际应用的范围，同时不放弃最初使其相关的简单性。</p>
