The groundbreaking Portenta X8 is a powerful, industrial-grade System On Module (SOM) with Linux OS preloaded onboard, making it a plug-and-play solution capable of running device-independent software thanks to its modular container architecture. Onboard Wi-Fi/Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity allows you to carry out OS/application updates remotely, always keeping the Linux kernel environment at top performance levels.

The X8’s hybrid combination of microprocessor and microcontroller offers unprecedented flexibility to simultaneously and securely run Linux apps and perform real-time tasks.

Overall, this powerful SOM features a total of 9 cores within a compact form factor of 66.04 x 25.40 mm. It has an an NXP® i.MX 8M Mini Cortex®-A53 quad-core up to 1.8GHz per core and 1x Cortex®-M4 up to 400MHz, plus an STMicroelectronics STM32H747 dual-core Cortex®-M7 up to 480Mhz + M4 32-bit Arm® MCU up to 240Mhz.

In addition, Portenta X8 achieved PSA Certification and includes the NXP SE050C2 hardware security element to provide key generation, accelerated crypto operations and secure storage. X8 also achieved Arm SystemReady certification and integrated Parsec services, making it one of the first Cassini Products or Cloud Native Edge devices available to developers in the market. Enabling the migration of cloud-native workloads from the Cloud to the edge, the X8 contributes to a cloud-native developer experience across Arm’s diverse and secure IoT ecosystem.
