The AAEON UP AI Toolkit

Bridging the Gap Between AI Model Development and Deployment

AAEON’s UP – Bridge the Gap brand was founded in 2015 with the strategic objective of providing the professional developer community with innovative and reliable single-board computers (SBCs) equipped with the latest Intel® technology. Given the brand’s close ties with Intel® and the development-focused nature of its key customer base, the UP brand has traditionally provided a greater breadth of resources with which its customers can build, troubleshoot, and collaborate to bring projects to fruition.

While UP offers a selection of development kits, software preinstallation and customization services, and universal support for Intel® development frameworks such as the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ Toolkit, the brand has now released the UP Edge AI Toolkit, a comprehensive software solution designed to accelerate AI development and deployment on AAEON edge computing platforms. This white paper explores the toolkit's innovative features, addressing common pain points in AI development and deployment, and outlines the benefits of its integrated solutions.
