# Arduino Portenta Examples

![Arduino Portenta H7](https://store-cdn.arduino.cc/uni/catalog/product/cache/1/image/520x330/604a3538c15e081937dbfbd20aa60aad/a/b/abx00042_featured_3.jpg)

The Arduino Portenta H7 is Arduinos newest microcontroller. The H7's main processor is the dual core STM32H747 including a Cortex M7 running at 480 MHz and a Cortex M4 running at 240 MHz. The two cores can communicate with each other over a Remote Procedure Call mechanism that allows calling functions on the other processor.

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

The Portenta H7 also includes an on-chip GPU that allows you to connect an external monitor to build your own dedicated embedded computer with a user interface. The Portenta also has two 80 pin high density connectors at the bottom of the board that allows you to attach extentsion boards like the [Vision Shield](https://store.arduino.cc/portenta-vision-shield). Furthermore the Portenta H7 also features a Murata 1DX, which is a high performance chipset which supports WiFi 802.11b/g/n + Bluetooth 5.1 BR/EDR/LE up to 65Mbps PHY data rate on WiFi and 3Mbps PHY data rate on Bluetooth.
