Description

The Arduino Portenta H7 Lite is a cost-effective and powerful dual-core board that supports wireless Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. It is designed for complex environments where radio communication is not suitable or possible.

Details

The Arduino Portenta H7 Lite board is designed for complex environments where radio communication is not suitable or possible.

It can simultaneously run high-level code and real-time tasks thanks to its two processors. For example, it can execute Arduino-compiled and MicroPython code simultaneously and have the two cores communicate with each other.

The Portenta H7 Lite offers twofold functionality: it can be used either as the main processor of an embedded computer or like any other embedded microcontroller board.

Key Arduino Portanta H7 Lite projects applications:

• High-end industrial machinery
• Laboratory equipment
• Computer vision
• PLCs
• Robotics controllers
• Mission-critical devices
• High-speed booting computation (ms)

Key benefits of the Arduino Portenta H7 Lite:

• Dual-Core – Two best performing processors are combined in one board, running tasks in parallel.
• AI on the edge – The Portenta H7 Life is so powerful that it can run AI state machines.
• Customization – The board is highly customizable, making it a perfect board for various projects.
• The board supports high-level programming language (Micropython).

Other Features of the Arduino Portenta H7 Lite

Two Parallel Cores

The Portenta H7 Lite’s main processor is the STM32H747 dual-core, which includes 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 seamlessly allows calling functions on the other processor. Both processors share all the on-chip peripherals and can run:

• Arduino sketches on top of the Arm® Mbed™ OS
• Native Mbed™ applications
• MicroPython / JavaScript via an interpreter
• TensorFlow™ Lite

A New Standard for Pinouts

The Portenta family adds two 80-pin high-density connectors at the bottom of the board. It ensures scalability for a wide range of applications: upgrade your Portenta board to the one suiting your needs.

USB-C Multipurpose Connector

The board’s programming connector is a USB-C port that can also power the board, such as a USB Hub, or deliver power to OTG connected devices.

Arduino IoT Cloud

Use your Portenta board on Arduino’s IoT Cloud, a simple and fast way to ensure secure communication for all of your connected Things.
