Intel Processor N150 SBC is presented by LattePanda IOTA, and it is a significant advance in the field of single-board computing. This small but mighty board combines the Intel N150 chip with a Raspberry Pi RP2040 co-processor, which has better performance and is more flexible in the range of applications it can be used in.
The LattePanda IOTA, based on embedded systems, IoT gateways, and edge computing, is a straight continuation of the LattePanda V1. It has the same small size of 88mm x 77mm, which will fit in the same accessories and enclosures. The co-processor, RP2040, is able to perform real-time actions like the control of a GPIO and power management, which is removed off the main CPU, and enhances system performance in general.

The LattePanda IOTA Specifications:
The Intel Processor N150 SBC delivers a powerful computing experience in a compact form factor. It is built around the quad-core “Twin Lake” Intel N150 CPU, running up to 3.6 GHz with 6 MB cache, paired with Intel UHD Graphics featuring 24 execution units at 1 GHz. The board offers 8 GB or 16 GB LPDDR5 4800 MT/s RAM with in-band ECC and storage options of 64 GB or 128 GB eMMC 5.1, complemented by a microSD slot. For real-time control and GPIO handling, the SBC integrates a Raspberry Pi RP2040 co-processor (dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ at 133 MHz with 264 KB SRAM and 8 MB flash).
Connectivity and display capabilities are extensive. Networking includes a Gigabit Ethernet port with Wake-on-LAN support, while optional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are available via the M.2 E-Key 2230 slot, and 4G LTE expansion is supported through a separate module. The board features three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, a USB 2.0 header, and display outputs through HDMI 2.1 up to 4K @ 60 Hz and a 2-lane eDP 1.4b connector supporting 1080p with I2C touch interface. Audio options include a 3.5 mm jack, digital output via HDMI, and speaker signals through a 36-pin header.
Expansion and power management are versatile. The SBC offers a 16-pin PCIe Gen3 connector compatible with Raspberry Pi 5, a 36-pin GPIO header supporting ADC, DI/DO, UART, USB 2.0, speaker, and 3.3 V I/O, and an M.2 E-Key slot for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules. Security is provided by an integrated TPM 2.0. Power is supplied via a USB Type-C PD port (up to 15 V) or a 4-pin connector (10–15 V), with additional support for RTC battery, DIP switches for auto power control, and a 5 V PWM fan connector. Measuring just 88 x 77 x 19 mm, this SBC is ideal for embedded systems, edge computing, and IoT applications.
The LattePanda IOTA can be used with Windows 10/11 or Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 which gives developers and enthusiasts the ability to select their own preferred environment. It is compatible with a wide variety of OS making it easy to integrate it into many projects. Together with expansion opportunities such as the M.2 E-Key slot and 36-pin GPIO header, the board can be easily customized and scaled, which makes the board suitable in industrial applications (such as automation) and smart retail (as well as) AI inference.
