At the CES 2020, open-source kit developer Arduino showcased a new modular development board, the Portenta H7, which promises to enable more advanced Internet of Things (IoT) prototyping. The board will be released next month.
The new kit will enable enterprises to “quickly and securely” connect remote sensors to business logic within one simple IoT application development platform, said Arduino on its official blog.
Combining a low-code application development platform with modular hardware makes tangible results possible in just one day. This means companies can build, measure, and iterate without expensive consultants or lengthy integration projects.
Built on Arm Pelion technology, the latest generation of Arduino solutions brings users simplicity of integration and a scalable, secure, professionally supported service.
Designed for demanding industrial applications, AI edge processing and robotics, it features a new standard for open high-density interconnect to support advanced peripherals. The first member of the family is the Arduino Portenta H7 module – a dual-core Arm Cortex-M7 and Cortex-M4 operating at 480MHz and 240MHz, respectively, with industrial temperature-range (-40 to 85°C) components. The Portenta H7 is capable of running Arduino code, Python and JavaScript, making it accessible to an even broader audience of developers.
The new Arduino Portenta H7 is available for pre-order on the Arduino online store, with an estimated delivery date of late February 2020.
