Overview

A Carrier Board is a board-only solution for the Intel® NUC Compute Element.

  • Carrier boards contain input/output connectors and headers.
  • Intel NUC Compute Elements plug into a carrier board.

You can design and produce your own carrier board or you can select a pre-designed, off-the-shelf carrier board that Intel sells/created.
Off the shelf carrier board

Note

The intended userbase for this product is expected to have experience in schematic design, board layout, thermal design, embedded controller, and embedded controller firmware development.
