Portenta X8 is the first Linux Arduino board

Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Thursday 24th of March 2022 02:56:00 PM

In simpler times, Raspberry Pi was making Linux SBC’s, and Arduino MCU boards, but after Raspberry Pi got into the MCU business last year, it’s now time for Arduino to introduce its first Linux board with the Arduino Portenta X8.

The new board since comes with the same STM32H7 Cortex-M7/M4 microcontroller found in the Portenta H7 boards, but add a more powerful, Linux-capable NXP i.MX 8M Mini processor with four Cortex-A53 cores and a Cortex-M4 core, coupled with 2GB RAM and a 16GB eMMC flash.

  • Arduino Pro Portenta X8 is a tiny, Linux-ready single-board computer - Liliputing

    Arduino is a company that’s best known for making small, programmable microcontroller boards. But the new Arduino Pro Portenta X8 is a full-fledged, Linux-friendly computer with a compact design.

    The board measures just 2.6″ x 1″ but features a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of eMMC storage, a USB-C port, WiFi and Bluetooth support, a Gigabit Ethernet interface, and a microcontroller.

Arduino returns to Linux with Portenta X8 module and dev kit

  • Arduino returns to Linux with Portenta X8 module and dev kit

    Arduino will soon launch a $239 “Portenta X8” module that combines a quad -A53 i.MX8M Mini with an STM32 Cortex-M7 and -M4 SoC and runs Linux in a Foundries.io container stack. A $335 “Portenta Max Carrier” will add GbE, USB, COM, CAN, and mini-PCIe.

    Arduino Pro, the recently launched professional business unit of Arduino, announced the Portenta X8 module, its first hybrid Linux/Arduino board since the 2018 Arduino Yún Rev 2. (See farther below for a brief history of Linux-ready Arduino boards.)

  • Foundries and Arduino Team To Patch IoT Devices | LinuxInsider

    Foundries.io and Arduino are joining forces to make embedded Linux-powered internet of things and edge computing devices more secure. Foundries.io announced the partnership Thursday.

    The deal will combine technological innovations with Foundries’ cloud-native development and deployment enterprise solutions for secure IoT and edge devices. Those solutions will integrate with the Arduino Pro Portenta X8 release, also announced Thursday.

Multi-core Arduino and Linux for enterprise IoT

  • Multi-core Arduino and Linux for enterprise IoT

    The chosen hardware is the new multi-core Arduino Pro Portenta X8, which is a processing heavyweight with quad Arm Cortex-A53 cores, a Cortex-M7 and two Cortex-M4 cores.

    “Today, you cannot think about a Linux-based device without anticipating the challenges of securing and maintaining it over time,” said Arduino CEO Fabio Violante. “This requires expertise, commitment and attention to every detail related to security and maintenance. For this reason, we decided to partner with Foundries.io to simplify this approach by providing a ready-to-use solution, by embedding a FoundriesFactory in the Arduino platform.”

Arduino goes pro with Linux and a big chip on its latest board

  • Arduino goes pro with Linux and a big chip on its latest board - Stacey on IoT | Internet of Things news and analysis

    This week, Arduino launched the Pro Portenta X8, the most massively powered Arduino board yet, with a quad-core Arm Cortex A53 processor along with a variety of MCUs and the ability to run Linux. This is a big step for Arduino, which bills itself as an open-source hardware and software company that makes systems on modules and has traditionally been popular in the maker and hobbyist space, as a way to bring small bits of computing power together to power lights, servos, and sensors.

    In 2020, the group launched its Portenta H7 board with an eye toward enticing hardware developers to build production-ready devices using the Arduino hardware and software. With the launch, it was following a similar map laid out by the folks behind Raspberry Pi, which has gone from being a cheap computer for makers to a fully powered computer that can fit in many jobs, including medical devices and production hardware. Notably, the Pi moved downmarket last year with the Pi Pico, which put it in direct competition with Arduino’s systems that rely on MCUs.

  • How to install go1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04 – NextGenTips

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
