Portenta H7 Lite Connected

Key benefits include:

• Dual Core – Two best-in-class processors in one, running parallel tasks
• AI on the edge – So powerful it can run AI state machines
• Onboard wireless module – Simultaneously manage WiFi and Bluetooth® connectivity
• High-level programming language support (Micropython)
• Security – Onboard secure element for certificates storage and management

The Portenta H7 Lite Connected offers twofold functionality: it can run either like any other embedded microcontroller board, or as the main processor of an embedded computer.

For example, use the Portenta Vision Shield to transform your H7 Lite Connected into an industrial camera capable of performing real-time machine learning algorithms on live video feeds. As the H7 Lite Connected can easily run processes created with TensorFlow™ Lite, you could have one of the cores computing a computer vision algorithm on the fly, while the other carries out low-level operations like controlling a motor or acting as a user interface.

Portenta is the go-to family when performance is key, and the H7 Lite Connected is no exception. We can already envision it as part of a wide range of solutions, including:

• High-end industrial machinery
• Laboratory equipment
• Computer vision
• PLCs
• Robotics controllers
• Mission-critical devices
• High-speed booting computation (ms)

Two Parallel Cores

The Portenta H7 Lite Connected’s main processor is the STM32H747 dual core including a Cortex® M7 running at 480 MHz and a Cortex® M4 running at 240 MHz. The two cores communicate via a Remote Procedure Call mechanism that allows calling functions on the other processor seamlessly. Both processors share all the in-chip peripherals and can run:

• Arduino sketches on top of the Arm® Mbed™ OS
• Native Mbed™ applications
• MicroPython / JavaScript via an interpreter
• TensorFlow™ Lite

A New Standard for Pinouts

The Portenta family adds two 80-pin high-density connectors at the bottom of the module. This ensures scalability for a wide range of applications: simply upgrade your Portenta to the one suiting your needs.

USB-C® Multipurpose Connector

The module’s programming connector is a USB-C port that can also be used for power, as a USB Hub, or to deliver power to OTG connected devices.

Arduino IoT Cloud Compatible

Portenta H7 Lite Connected hits another sweet spot for pro users

October 5, 2021

We launched the powerful Portenta H7 last year. The more targeted Portenta H7 Lite just a few weeks ago. And we’re back (already!), with another new product that fills the gap between the previous two versions. It’s known as Portenta H7 Lite Connected, but we like to call it “the best of both worlds.” The Portenta H7 Lite Connected is powerful, with integrated wireless connectivity, yet remains cost-optimized. You could think of it as the H7 with only one secure element and no high-resolution video interface. Or if you prefer, the H7 Lite with the ability to connect. Adding this third iteration to the Portenta family and Arduino Pro ecosystem is our way of saying we want to be at our your side. No matter what smart project you are working on. You can always count on Arduino’s reliability, versatility, and ease of implementation; picking the product that best suits your needs. Portenta H7 Lite (left), H7 (center) and H7 Lite Connected (right) Here’s where the Portenta H7 Lite Connected fits into the Arduino ecosystem. If you need excellent computational power to deploy AI on the edge.You’re building a solution that will interact with other robotics systems, and therefore does not require a high-resolution video interface.Prototyping an idea that you know will need to connect to WiFi but is still not at the stage where you want to invest in a fully-fledged Portenta H7. Get the exact features you need with three options to choose from in the Portenta H7 family. And remember, the 80-pin high-density connectors at the bottom of every Portenta mean you can simply upgrade to a different version at any time. The Portenta H7 Lite Connected is available for €82/US$98.40. More information and complete technical specs can be found here.
