The UDOO team is pleased to announce that the UDOO X86 family of maker boards are now available to purchase directly from their shop, after successfully shipping over five-thousand boards. The crowdfunded open-spec board, combining the computational power of a Quad-Core 64-bit Intel® microprocessor, and the flexibility of the famous Arduino prototyping platform, in using a Intel® Curie™ Arduino™ 101-compatible microcontroller to connect to the physical world. Order the UDOO X86 now! https://shop.udoo.org/x86.html
Hi, Does this mean the preorders should be shipped? As of now, my (late May 2016 EU version) preorder is still showing as "processing". Cheers, Adam
@PopeGregoryIX I believe you should have your order by now. Could you please open a support ticket by clicking on the following link: https://www.udoo.org/customer-care/open.php
Hi Laura, the shop admin should de-confuse the "stock availability colour marks". The boards are "orange" some accessories are "red - Usually ships in 2-4 days" some are "green - Usually ships in 2-4 days". Some items are "green" but when you klick them they change their colour to "red". Is the power supply EU available now? The non-EU power supply that was shipped with my board is not CE complient. Placing them on the market inside EU can bring a cease-and-desist warning to UDOO. Hopefully non of them caches fire... Yours Andreas
The erroneous red dot has been removed. Thank you for your feedback. The EU power supply is not currently in stock, but is due in shortly.
I see you still advertise UDOO X86 with lies., perhaps UDOO should be reported to proper authorities? From https://shop.udoo.org/eu/x86/udoo-x86-ultra.html: "You won’t ever worry about lack of drivers or stuff like that." -- clearly a lie "CPU Intel Pentium N3710 2.56 GHZ" -- it's 1.6 GHz "Other Interfaces: IR interface" -- not working
Not really , most drivers for windows and linux are there and working , u may need to download seperately like i had to do for my m.2 wifi for windows 10 . The speed bursts upto 2.56 ghz when needed , the base is 1.6ghz , fair enough . And lastly the ir port does work .
Morning Laura, that's great news, but I don't seem to be able to add the ultra x86 to my cart, every time I click to add it I get a message saying "Please specify the quantity of product(s).", there is no quantity field however. This is happening in Chrome and Firefox for me. Am I doing something wrong?
I had a look and I was offered an option to get a “back in stock” notification. That suggests the reason you cannot place the order at the moment is that the Ultra is out of stock.
From Facebook comments Udoo team this wednesday: The Ultra sold out very quickly. We have another large batch arriving in seven days time.
@Laura Thanks for the response and sorry for my delay - been away with some family things going on! It still shows as processing so I'll raise a ticket. Many thanks.
I've had the CPU stuck at 2.5Ghz for 2 weeks, running 2 HD cameras for Sighthound. Had a USB fan blowing on it, and the Udoo didn't have any clock cycles left for anything else, but the clock speed showed 2.5ghz and 80-100% utilization the entire time. I think there's a bunch of people who dont know how Intel advertises CPU speeds nowadays... As long as cooling isnt out of whack, and the workload supports the additional CPU usage, you will see the 2.56Ghz. The only driver I downloaded was the Intel pack for Windows 10. I also ran with Ubuntu, and could have looked for video drivers, but that was a dying cause for my want and desire for Windows... I had no clue this thing had an IR port in it...
What do you mean "it doesnt work"? It's a hardware function, irrelevant of the OS. What has everyone done, beyond "cat /proc/cpuinfo"? I dont have linux on mine right now, but I would love to see what turbostat shows under load, using stress. /proc/cpuinfo wont always show the real clock speed.
That is impossible. The output is completely different. Can you share a screen shot? You should run stress with 4 cpu threads at the same time, for your capture. What linux are you using?
So, I booted a Ubuntu 16 Live disk, and here is what I see. The CPU shows a max speed of 2560... ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lscpu -a -e CPU NODE SOCKET CORE L1d:L1i:L2 ONLINE MAXMHZ MINMHZ 0 0 0 0 0:0:0 yes 2560.0000 480.0000 1 0 0 1 1:1:0 yes 2560.0000 480.0000 2 0 0 2 2:2:1 yes 2560.0000 480.0000 3 0 0 3 3:3:1 yes 2560.0000 480.0000 Turbostat shows a solid 2000MHz for 5 minutes solid...

The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use within this range. current CPU frequency is 2.00 GHz. boost state support: Supported: yes Active: yes 2 observations. 1. it is performing over 1.6GHz, so the boost in fact work in linux. 2. There is an automatic policy in place retarding performance above 2.05GHz, in this case called "performance". No time to play with setting policies for me. Looks like it works to me. Robert
Does NOT look like it works - this is the exact problem I've been having, speed capped at 2.05 GHz instead of promised 2.56 GHz. (Debian Stretch)
Oh no, the hardware works fine. You're just too lazy to Google how to change the power management settings in the OS you chose.
Power management options on Debian Stretch running on UDOO X86 Ultra can't be changed to allow higher speed (I have Googled about this.)
