Portenta X8

Industrial-grade, secure SOM with outstanding computational density

Portenta X8 offers the best of two approaches: flexibility of usage of Linux combined with real-time applications through the Arduino environment. Developers can now perform real-time tasks, while simultaneously performing high-performance processing on Linux cores.
Portenta X8 is a powerful SOM (System on Module) with onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity. It features two microprocessors:
1) NXP® i.MX 8M Mini Cortex®-A53 quad-core, up to 1.8GHz per core + 1x Cortex®-M4 up to 400MHz
2) STMicroelectronics STM32H747XI dual-core Cortex®-M7 up to 480Mhz +M4 32 bit Arm® MCU up to 240Mhz

The Portenta X8 comes with Linux OS (Yocto) distribution already preloaded onboard.

With Portenta X8, it is possible to deploy device-independent software thanks to the modular container architecture, allowing single packages of software to run within a controlled environment. Linux applications can run on the Portenta X8 and directly interact with the Arduino sketch.

Portenta X8 comes with a continuously maintained Linux kernel distribution, to keep security at first by OTA device updates and fleet management.
The Crypto element ensures a secure connection at the hardware level. PSA certified IoT security from ARM®.
