Intel® NUC Element Carrier Board Design Overview
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. |
