Official Arduino Portenta X8 AI + Linux Industrial SOM (System on Module) - ABX00049
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.
