+ ## Processor The Arduino Portenta X8 makes use of two ARM®-based physical processing units. ### NXP® i.MX 8M Mini Quad Core Microprocessor -The MIMX8MM6CVTKZAA iMX8M (U2) features a quad core ARM® Cortex® A53 running at up to 1.8 GHz for high performance applications alongside an ARM® Cortex® M4 running at up to 400 MHz. The ARM® Cortex® A53 is capable of running a fully fledged Linux or Android operating system through a Board Support Packages (BSP) in a multithreaded fashion. This can be expanded via the use of specialized software containers via OTA updates. The ARM® Cortex® M4 has lower power consumption allowing for effective sleep management as well as optimal performance in real-time applications and is reserved for future use. Both processors can share all peripherals and resources available on the i.MX 8M Mini, including PCIe, on-chip memory, GPIO, GPU and Audio. +The MIMX8MM6CVTKZAA iMX8M (U2) features a quad-core ARM® Cortex® A53 running at up to 1.8 GHz for high-performance applications alongside an ARM® Cortex® M4 running at up to 400 MHz.

This IC is used as a I/O expander for the NXP® i.MX 8M Mini (U2). Peripherals are automatically controlled via the M7 core. Additionally, the M4 core is available for real time control of motors and other time-critical machinery at a barebones level. The M7 core acts as a mediator between the peripherals and the i.MX 8M Mini. It achieves this by running a custom firmware [https://github.com/arduino/portentax8-stm32h7-fw](https://github.com/arduino/portentax8-stm32h7-fw) normally invisible to the User, which maps all its peripherals as Linux devices. Advanced users can customize the M7 firmware to fit their needs but this could break the seamless Linux integration. Users are instead encouraged to write custom Arduino programs (sketches) running on the M4, which can access all the peripherals supported by the M7. The STM32H7 is not exposed to networking and should be programmed via the i.MX 8M Mini (U2). +The X8 includes an embedded H7 in the form of a STM32H747AII6 IC (U20) with a dual-core ARM® Cortex® M7 and ARM® Cortex® M4.

An integrated antenna circuitry switch allows a single external antenna (J4 or ANT1) to be shared between Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth®.
