This cost-effective, high-performance, streamlined platform has been developed to provide an accelerated route to IoT automation, complete with industrial-grade quality and guaranteed security.
The Portenta C33 combines a high level of performance with a lower price point and this makes it, along with a range of optimisations and streamlined features, a prime choice for developing industrial, real-time applications.
The Portenta C33 features the Arm Cortex-M33 microcontroller from Renesas and supports MicroPython, as well as other high-level programming languages.
With onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity, the Portenta C33 is intended for IoT gateways, remote control systems, fleet management and process tracking, while its secure element guarantees industrial-grade security at the hardware level.
The Portenta C33 can also perform over-the-air firmware updates via Arduino Cloud or other third-party cloud hosting services.
The SOM also offers users quick plug-and-play prototyping and provides a cost-effective solution for industrial-scale projects such as:
- Industrial IoT gateways
- Machine monitoring to track OEE/OPE
- Inline quality control and assurance
- Energy consumption monitoring
- Appliances control systems
- Ready-to-use IoT prototyping
Key features include:
- Ideal for low-cost IoT applications with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth LE connectivity
- Supports MicroPython and other high-level programming languages
- Offers industrial-grade security at the hardware level and secure OTA firmware updates
- Leverages ready-to-use software libraries and Arduino sketches
- Perfect for monitoring and displaying real-time data on Arduino IoT Cloud widget-based dashboards
- Compatible with the Arduino Portenta and MKR families
- Features castellated pins for automatic assembly lines
Romain Soreau, Head of Single Board Computing category at Farnell, said, “Customers will be able to quickly implement Portenta C33 in industrial projects, leveraging the vast amount of Arduino software libraries available and securely perform over-the-air firmware updates using the Arduino IoT Cloud.”
