The Raspberry Pi device family

The world's most famous maker board! Fully certified and supported by Canonical. Ubuntu works on all 64-bit Raspberry Pi devices and is our primary focus for testing and development of new ARM Ubuntu Appliances.

The popular single-board computer with 40-pin connector is a de facto standard for prototyping and experimentation and the Compute Module range is suited for production embedding in a wide range of devices.

The PC device family

The board that puts the power of a full-size PC in the palm of your hand. Fully certified and supported by Canonical. Ubuntu 'just works' on numerous Intel-NUC devices, and is recommended for testing and development of Ubuntu Appliances that require X86 architecture or more computational power than a Raspberry Pi.

This small-form-factor PC can be thought of as a laptop without a screen or battery. It is the best choice for discreet or computationally heavy appliances.
