Arduino Portenta H7

Arduino® Portenta H7
1 / 25 Arduino® Portenta H7 / Rev. 01 - 25/11/2021
Product Reference Manual
SKU: ABX00042
Description
The Portenta H7 is the first member of the Portenta family, dedicated to industrial use cases but with the
traditional Arduino openness and ready for the most demanding Pro applications. The Portenta H7 is ready for
machine learning and real-time applications thanks to the dual core STM32H747 processor 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 for real multitasking. By harnessing
the computational power of both Portenta H7's cores, machine learning algorithms can run simultaneously
alongside low latency sensor/actuator interaction.
Arduino's expertise in producing high quality PCB in house has been leveraged to ensure that the Portenta H7 can
meet the vibrations and temperatures met in daily industrial, automotive and agriculture applications. The various
interfaces give the developers freedom in how they interact with the Portenta H7 and include MKR-compatible
pins, USB-C enabled HDMI output and Arduino's open connector (ESLOV). Developers will receive the support they
need from Arduino to build their custom solution.
Portenta H7 offers several customization possibilities that allow tailoring board functionality to specific applications
for high volume use cases.
