Radxa is going all-in on Qualcomm silicon. At a joint Radxa and Qualcomm developer day on 2026-05-30, the company laid out a 2026 roadmap that includes 22 Qualcomm-based products, ranging from compact single-board computers to NAS boxes and a high-end robotics platform built on the upcoming Dragonwing IQ10-series SoCs. The lineup builds on the previously announced Dragon Q6A and adds two newly detailed SBCs along with a pair of NAS systems aimed at self-hosters and local AI tinkerers.
The headline board is the Dragon Q8B, a 100 x 75 mm SBC powered by the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 with four 3.0 GHz Kryo Prime cores, four 2.4 GHz Kryo Efficiency cores, an Adreno 690 GPU with DirectX 12 support, and a Hexagon DSP plus Neural Processing Engine rated at 29+ TOPS. It supports up to 32GB of LPDDR4x at 4266 MT/s, two M.2 Key-M slots for NVMe SSDs (one PCIe Gen3 x4, one Gen3 x2), a UFS 3.1 module connector, dual 2.5GbE, HDMI 2.1, and two USB-C ports with DisplayPort 1.4b output up to 4Kp120. There is also a 40-pin GPIO header and a 16-pin Raspberry Pi-compatible PCIe FFC connector. Radxa is pitching it squarely at edge AI, Arm-based NAS builds, and intelligent gateways, with Linux and open-source toolchains as the software focus. On the software side, Radxa has committed to shipping an Ubuntu 26 desktop build at launch, and early community testing has already produced a working Armbian image, though that path currently requires building from source as official Armbian support is not yet available.
The smaller Dragon Q5E measures 65 x 56 mm and uses the Dragonwing QCS6690, a 4nm octa-core Kryo 7-series chip paired with an Adreno 7-series GPU, a Hexagon DSP with HVX and HMX, and an AI accelerator rated at 6 TOPS. It tops out at 16GB of LPDDR5, supports 4K H.264/H.265 encode at 60 fps and 4K decode at 120 fps, and includes dual 2.5GbE (one with optional PoE), HDMI up to 1080p90, a 4-lane MIPI DSI connector, a MIPI CSI input for up to 32MP cameras, microSD, UFS, and a 40-pin GPIO header. Radxa says it will ship with Debian-based Radxa OS and Ubuntu support.
On the NAS side, Radxa is teaming up with FeiNiu to ship two units running fnOS. The DragonStation is a six-bay all-NVMe box with 10GbE networking and an AI accelerator card the company claims can run 120B-parameter local models and agent frameworks. The DragonBay is a more conventional four-bay NAS on an unnamed Qualcomm mobile platform, targeting media libraries, photo archiving, and multi-user file collaboration. Specifications beyond that remain under wraps.
The broader 2026 roadmap, shared via SBCWiki on X, also includes Raspberry Pi Compute Module-compatible modules, a cluster system based on the Dragonwing IQ-9075 (the same 200 TOPS chip inside the Fogwise AIRbox Q900), and the high-end RoboX Q1000 robotics platform with a matching rCore-Q1000 system-on-module. Pricing for the Dragon Q8B and Q5E was expected at the developer event but has not yet been made public.
