Description
The Arduino® Portenta
This board combines the NXP® i.MX 8M Mini processor, hosting a Linux Operating System for embedded applications (Yocto) together with an STM32H7 microcontroller, to benefit from Arduino® libraries/abilities.
They are basically two industrial products in a small module, with the power of no less than 9 cores. Leverage the Arduino environment to perform real-time tasks while Linux takes care of high-performance processing.
Thanks to its modular "container" architecture, it is capable of running device-independent software in isolation ("encapsulated" applications).
Built-in Wi-Fi/Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity allows you to securely perform OTA OS/app updates.
Using Foundries.io's cloud-based DevOps platform to reinvent the way embedded Linux solutions are built, tested, deployed and maintained, Portenta X8 benefits from Foundries.io's continuous update service for cybersecurity. This service guarantees an updated image that contains all vulnerability patches; while the container approach separates the operating system from applications, to keep the entire system updated smoothly.
The Portenta X8 is designed with industrial-grade security in mind: it is PSA security certified and includes the NXP SE050C2 hardware security element to provide key generation, accelerated encryption operations, and secure storage. It received Arm SystemReady certification and integrated services from Parsec, making it one of the first Cassini products on the market available to developers.
