Arduino Portenta H7 – new player on the Industrial IoT market

Arduino Portenta H7 - new player on the Industrial IoT market

At the Consumer Electronics Show 2020, Arduino has made a possibly groundbreaking announcement with the Arduino Pro IDE. This could bring the maker scene and classic industrial companies closer together.

Arduino Portenta H7 features

The Portenta H7 is equipped with an STM32H747Xi with a Cortex-M7 and a Cortex-M4. Portenta H7 has 2 megabytes of RAM and a 16 MByte NOR flash. An SD card can be connected via an adapter. The connection to a wireless network is via WiFi 802.11 b/g/n or Bluetooth 5.1. The charging electronics for a 3.7 volt LiPo battery are already integrated.

With the Arduino Portenta H7, the first model of the new Portenta family was announced. This should be tailored specifically to the needs of industrial applications, AI and robotics scenarios.

The model is equipped with two 80-pin connectors, plus four UART ports. USB Type-C port can output image signals via DisplayPort. The Portenta H7 is also programmable with an interpreter in MicroPython, JavaScript and TensorFlow Light. The single-platinum calculator should be available from February for 90 euros.

What the world says about Arduino Portenta?

Fabio Violante, CEO of Arduino, said manufacturers will be able to create modules for robotics, 3D printer and more:

Portenta H7 is directly compatible with other Arduino libraries and offers new features that will benefit hardware manufacturers, such as a DisplayPorl output, much faster ADC multi-channel and high-speed timers.

Meanwhile, Charlene Marini, vice president of strategy for Arm’s IoT Services Group commented:

SMEs with industrial requirements require simplified development through secure development tools, software and hardware to economically realize their IoT use cases.

ARM Partnership cooperation

ARM works with Arduino to provide secure, easy-to-manage and manageable devices to a wide range of programmers. Two innovations to date show the results of this partnership.

„Mbed OS Portenty is one of the concrete achievements of the partnership,” said Marini. „Another example is the Arduino SIM card, which uses Pelion connection management.”

She said companies have the ability to provide secure Internet of Things on a large scale. This is the foundation of machine learning, automation and the rapid evolution of applications that cross the physical and digital world.

eModGATE with ESP32

Industrial use of Arduino-like solutions

One of industrial IoT devices, supporting Arduino-like technology is eModGATE from TECHBASE. Economical, ESP32-based solution can serve as an end-point in any installation or works well as a gateway, gathering data from scattered sensor mesh across the installation.

Bluetooth 5.0 update for ESP32

The Espressif’s flagship ESP32 chip recently passed the SIG Bluetooth LE 5.0 certification. This confirms that the version of the protocol supported by the ESP32 microcontroller has been upgraded from Bluetooth LE 4.2 to Bluetooth LE 5.0, which is more stable and compatible.

The implementation and development of the Bluetooth LE (BLE) application requires not only a system that supports this function, but also an attached Bluetooth LE protocol stack consisting of a driver and a host.

Thanks to Bluetooth LE 5.0 certification, ESP32 SoC not only updates the system as a whole, but also adds new features that improve the latest software after passing more stringent tests than previous certification.

Industrial use of ESP32-based solutions

One of industrial IoT devices, supporting Espressif’s ESP32 technology is eModGATE from TECHBASE. Economical, ESP32-based solution can serve as an end-point in any installation or works well as a gateway, gathering data from scattered sensor mesh across the installation.
