Arduino Portenta X8 Industrial-Grade SOM

Arduino Portenta X8 Industrial-Grade SOM is a high-performance single board computer designed to power the Industrial Internet of Things. The board combines the NXP® i.MX 8M Mini hosting an embedded Linux OS with the STM32H7 to leverage Arduino libraries/skills. Shield and carrier boards are available to extend the functionality of the X8 or alternatively can be used as reference designs to develop custom solutions.

Features

  • Two industrial products in one, combining Arduino’s availability of libraries/skills with container-based Linux distribution
  • Outstanding computational density - a total of 9 cores within a compact form factor 
  • Multi-processor architecture allows power-optimized processing
  • Leverage popular programming languages like Python, Java, and Ruby among others
  • Real-time I/O and Fieldbus/control on a dedicated core
  • Deploy powerful AI algorithms and machine learning on the edge
  • Secure OS/applications updates over-the-air
  • Industrial-grade security at the hardware level, thanks to its crypto chip on a dedicated bus
  • Leverage the Arduino ecosystem to expand Portenta capabilities
  • Implement multi-protocol routing with a single module
  • Compatible with other Arduino Portenta products
