Portenta H7

The Portenta H7 is your gateway to building the smart projects of your dreams. Imagine living in an automated house where every device listens and responds to your needs, or nurturing a smart garden that ensures your plants are perfectly cared for. With the Portenta H7, this is no longer a fantasy but a feasible reality. Compatible with the Arduino IoT Cloud, this powerful board lets you connect devices, visualize important data, control operations, and even share your intelligent designs with others, no matter where you are in the world. This connectivity brings both convenience and creativity into your hands, whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out.

The Portenta H7 is engineered with high-level performance in mind, seamlessly multitasking with dual cores. Picture running complex computer vision algorithms with one core while simultaneously managing low-level operations such as motor control or user interface tasks with the other. This dual-core capability is made possible by the dual-core STM32H747 processor, with a Cortex® M7 running at 480 MHz and a Cortex® M4 at 240 MHz. Imagine a ballet of operations, where each core plays its part perfectly, allowing your project to function like a symphony.

One of the most exciting features of the Portenta H7 is its ability to transform into an embedded computer with a dedicated display, thanks to its onboard graphics accelerator, the Chrom-ART Accelerator™. Connect an external monitor, and you’re all set to create intuitive and engaging user interfaces. This opens up a realm of possibilities for building high-end industrial machinery, laboratory equipment, and more sophisticated applications that require rich graphics and high-speed performance.

The Portenta H7 offers robust connectivity options, with a wireless module that enables simultaneous management of WiFi and Bluetooth® connections. Whether you need to operate as an Access Point, Station, or in dual mode, the board supports full connectivity, handling up to 65 Mbps transfer rates. Wired interfaces abound, with options like UART, SPI, or I2C accessible through connectors designed for industrial applications. The inclusion of an 80-pin high-density connector ensures you can easily scale and upgrade your projects as needed.

Furthermore, the versatile USB-C® port highlights the board’s utility, handling everything from programming and power supply to connecting external monitors via DisplayPort. The configuration is nothing short of impressive, featuring components like 8MB SDRAM, a 10/100 Ethernet Phy, and more, with customization options available for high-volume orders. This ensures that the Portenta H7 can adapt to meet specific requirements, demonstrating its capability in a diverse set of environments and applications.
