[NUC] NUC Element Carrier Board Design Overview

Overview

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

  • Carrier boards contain input/output connectors and headers.
  • 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  ASUS sells/created. 
Off the shelf carrier board

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