Introduction
The UDOO BOLT is a portable, breakthrough supercomputer that goes up to 3.6 GHz thanks to the brand-new AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 SoC, a top-notch,
multicore CPU with a powerful mobile GPU - AMD Radeon Vega 8 or AMD Radeon Vega 3 Graphics, the most incredible GPUs ever seen on a maker platform
and an Arduino Leonardo compatible platform, all wrapped into one.
The UDOO BOLT can mount a Dual-Core Quad-Thread or a Quad-Core eight-thread SoCs, base frequency 2.3 or 2.0 GHz, Turbo boost at 3.2 or 3.6 GHz, with
64-bit instruction set and very low TDP. This single chip solution includes the memory controller, which gives support for up to 32GB of DDR4 memory on two SO-
DIMM Slots, also capable of supporting ECC memory.
All SoCs embed an AMD Radeon Vega Graphics controller, with 3 or 8 Execution units, which offers extremely high graphical performances, supporting also High
Dynamical range (HDR) Imaging. DirectX

4.6 are also supported
by this GPU, which can also offer H.265 10-bit video decoding and 8-bit encoding.
Finally, this embedded GPU is able to drive four 4K independent displays, by using the HDMI and the USB-C interfaces available.
Other features offered by the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 SoCs, and included in UDOO BOLT board, are two SATA Revision 3.0 Channels (one used for the
common SATA / SSD drives, the other used to implement a M.2 Socket 2 Key B SSD slot), six USB ports (two USB 3.1 on standard Type-A sockets, two USB 3.1
on standard type-C sockets supporting Display Port Alternate Mode and Power Delivery functions, one USB 2.0 on M.2 Socket 1 Key E Connectivity slot and another
USB 2.0 port used for the communications with the Atmega32u4 microcontroller), HD Audio and eight PCI Express lanes (two lanes are carried out on M.2 Socket
2 Key B SSD slot where they can be used as a single PCI-e x2 port, a PCI express lane is used for the implementation of the Gigabit Ethernet interface, ,another is
available on M.2 Socket 1 Key E Connectivity Slot and four PCI-express Graphics lanes are carried to the M.2 Key M Slot for NVMe SSDs, where they can be used
as a single PCI-e x 4 port).
Through the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 SoC
’
s USB interface #5 pass all the communications with the ATMEL ATmgea32u4 microcontroller, which implements
the Arduino Leonardo interface: this situation reproduces exactly the situation of an external Arduino board connected to an x86 PC, with the advantages given
by an integrated board solution.
All these features, combined together, make UDOO BOLT the most powerful maker board ever.
Please refer to following chapter for a complete list of all the integrated peripherals and the characteristics.
