Arduino Portenta H7 Lite Development Board
6 units available with a short lead time.
The Arduino Portenta H7 Lite is a high-performance dual-core development board and the cost-optimised entry point in the Portenta H7 series. It uses the same STM32H747XI MCU as the full Portenta H7, featuring a Cortex-M7 core (up to 480MHz) and a Cortex-M4 core for parallel multi-threaded processing.
With 16MB QSPI flash and 8MB SDRAM, the board provides substantial storage and computing power. It supports the MKR form factor for easy shield expansion, and is compatible with Arduino IDE, STM32CubeIDE, Mbed Studio, and MicroPython. The Lite variant omits wireless connectivity and high-resolution video compared to the full H7, offering a powerful solution where wired communication is preferred.
