The two cores communicate via a remote procedure call mechanism that allows for seamless invocation of functions on the other processor. Both processors share the entire on-chip peripheral and can run: Arduino sketches on the Arm Mbed OS, native Mbed applications, MicroPython/JavaScript via an interpreter, and TensorFlow Lite. The Portenta H7 follows the form factor of the Arduino MKR but is enhanced with the 80-pin high-density connector of the Portenta family. The Portenta family adds two 80-pin high-density connectors at the bottom of the board. This ensures scalability for a variety of applications by simply upgrading your Portenta board to the variant that suits you best. Use Portenta when performance is critical: high-end industrial machines, laboratory equipment, computer vision, PLCs, industrial-grade user interfaces, robotics control, mission-critical devices, dedicated desktop computers, and high-speed boot computing.
