Arduino is about to launch a new Portenta H7 development board designed for high performance and the Internet of Things.

Portenta H7 will support programming with high-level languages and AI such as Arduino, MicroPython, Javascript, and perform low-latency operations on customized hardware. Portenta H7 runs both high-level code and real-time tasks. The main processor of H7 is a dual-core unit made of Cortex M7 running at 480 MHz and Cortex M4 running at 240 MHz. The two cores communicate through a remote procedure call mechanism that allows functions on the other processor to be called seamlessly. Both processors share all on-chip peripherals and can run:

• Arduino Programming Based on Arm Mbed OS
• Native Mbed Applications
• MicroPython / JavaScript
• TensorFlow Lite

The onboard wireless module allows managing both WiFi and Bluetooth connections simultaneously. The WiFi interface can be used as an access point, dual mode supports both AP/STA, and can handle transfer rates up to 65 Mbps. The Bluetooth interface supports Bluetooth Classic and BLE. The Portenta H7 follows the Arduino MKR form factor but is enhanced with the Portenta series 80-pin high-density connector
