Arduino Portenta H7

The Portenta H7: an advanced board merging the classic Arduino MKR form with an 80-pin high-density connector. This powerhouse, designed for dual functionality, enables parallel task executions with its dual processors, seamlessly blending high-level languages, AI, and real-time operations on adaptable hardware. Effortlessly run Arduino compiled code and MicroPython concurrently, fostering inter-core communication. Elevate its prowess with the Portenta Vision Shield, transforming the H7 into an industrial-grade camera adept in real-time machine learning on live video streams.

Key features

• Dual Core: two best-in-class processors in one, running parallel tasks
• Edge AI: so powerful it can run AI state machines
• High level programming language support: MicroPython, Javascript, and TensorFlow™ Lite
• Security: onboard secure element for certificate storage and management

Additional features

• Portenta H7 Microcontroller: The Portenta H7 allows for programming with high-level languages and AI while performing low-latency operations on its customizable hardware.
• STM32H747XI dual Cortex^®-M7+M4 32 bit low power Arm^® MCU: H7's main microcontroller is the dual core STM32H747, including a Cortex^® M7 running at 480 MHz and a Cortex^® M4 running at 240 MHz. The two cores communicate via a Remote Procedure Call mechanism that allows calling functions on the other processor seamlessly.
• Murata 1DX dual WiFi and Bluetooth^® 5.1: The onboard wireless module allows to simultaneously manage WiFi and Bluetooth^® connectivity.
• Chrom-ART graphical hardware Accelerator™: Probably one of the most exciting features of the Portenta H7 is the possibility of connecting an external monitor to build your own dedicated embedded computer with a user interface. This is possible thanks to the STM32H747 processor's on-chip GPU, the Chrom-ART Accelerator™. Besides the GPU, the chip includes a dedicated JPEG encoder and decoder.
