Product details
Official Arduino Portenta X8 AI + Linux Industrial SOM (System on Module)
The Official Arduino Portenta X8 is a high-performance, industrial-grade System on Module (SOM) designed for demanding edge computing applications.
It comes preloaded with a Linux operating system and supports modular container-based software architecture, allowing device-independent application development.
Featuring a unique combination of power and flexibility, the Arduino Portenta X8 integrates a total of nine processing cores, including a quad-core NXP i.MX 8M Mini Cortex-A53 running up to 1.8GHz, a Cortex-M4 at 400MHz, and a dual-core STMicroelectronics STM32H747 with Cortex-M7 and M4 MCUs.
This architecture enables real-time operations through the Arduino environment while Linux handles complex, high-speed processing tasks.
Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity further enhance the X8’s capabilities by enabling secure over-the-air (OTA) updates for both the OS and applications, making it ideal for industrial IoT and AI workloads at the edge.
Applications:
• Connected edge computer for manufacturing
• Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGV)
• Interactive full-HD secure kiosks and digital signage
• Office & home control systems
• Navigation and control for smart agriculture
• Behavioral analytics for offices and factories
Features:
• Two-in-One Industrial Solution: Combines the power of a container-based Linux distribution with the flexibility of the Arduino ecosystem.
• High Computational Density: Packs 9 processing cores into a compact, space-efficient form factor.
• Advanced Multi-Processor Architecture: Enables efficient, power-optimized task distribution across cores.
• Language Flexibility: Supports popular programming languages including Python, Java, Ruby, and more.
• Dedicated Real-Time Core: Handles real-time I/O operations and fieldbus/control functions separately from high-level processing.
• Edge AI and Machine Learning Ready: Designed to run advanced AI algorithms and ML models directly at the edge.
• Secure Over-the-Air Updates: Supports OTA updates for both OS and applications with built-in wireless connectivity.
• Hardware-Level Security: Features a dedicated crypto chip for industrial-grade, hardware-based security.
• Expandable via Arduino Ecosystem: Seamlessly integrates with other official Arduino Portenta modules and accessories.
• Multi-Protocol Routing Capability: Capable of handling diverse protocols through a single, unified platform.
• Portenta Compatibility: Fully compatible with other products in the Arduino Portenta family for flexible development.
