AAEON’s specialty UP brand expanded its mini PC range even further this week by unveiling its new UP Squared i12. The most compact developer board currently on the market powered by 12th Gen Intel Core processors and Celeron 7000 series processors. UP Squared i12 as part of the third generation evolution of this line.
As a key feature of this small but powerful board is integrated LPDDR5 memory, a factor that AAEON expects will be an important asset for smart retail deployments. This design decision was driven by the growing demand for applications such as frictionless shopping and smart vending machines, where the higher bandwidth speed offered by LPDDR5 can improve performance.

The plate design has wide application potential. Its compatibility with cost-effective camera accessories is facilitated by two MIPI-CSI camera connectors accessible through the carrier plate. Furthermore, the display interface, composed of a dual HDMI 1.4b/DP 1.2 stack connector and a DP 1.4b routed via a USB Type-C port, establishes the UP Squared i12 as a cost-effective solution for developers venturing into machine vision projects.
The display capabilities of the UP Squared i12 are particularly great, supporting three simultaneous 4K displays with a 60Hz refresh rate. This feature, combined with powerful processors and wide expansion options, is expanding market appeal, particularly in the areas of health imaging and smart retail.
In addition, the board boasts an M.2 2280 M-Key and an M.2 2230 E-Key slot, demonstrating its willingness for AI acceleration and storage stabilization. Its compatibility with the Raspberry Pi ecosystem via 40-pin GPIO is a standout feature, making the UP Squared i12 an easy-to-integrate option for existing projects. The UP Squared i12 mini PC delivers a combination of performance and cost-effectiveness, providing developers with a powerful platform for a wide range of applications.
