Commercial Android and Linux compute for Elo touch, signage, kiosk, and custom display deployments.

Elo Backpack adds commercial compute to a compatible display without placing the computer inside the screen. The family combines HDMI and USB-C video output, Gigabit Ethernet, USB expansion, and VESA mounting for installations that need a separate, serviceable compute engine.

Choose Backpack 5 for Android 14, Qualcomm QCS6490 performance, 8GB memory, and Wi-Fi 6E. Backpack 4 options retain Qualcomm or Rockchip configurations for Android 10, Android 12, or Debian Linux deployments.

Video, network, and peripheral expansion
