Arduino® Portenta H7
Portenta H7 Power Tree

5 Board Operation

5.1 Getting Started – IDE
If you want to program your Arduino Portenta H7 while offline you need to install the Arduino Desktop IDE [1]. To
connect the Arduino Portenta H7 to your computer, you'll need a USB-C cable. This also provides power to the
board, as indicated by the LED.
5.2 Getting Started – Arduino Web Editor (Create)
All Arduino and Genuino boards, including this one, work out-of-the-box on the Arduino Web Editor [2], by just
installing a simple plugin.
The Arduino Web Editor is hosted online, therefore it will always be up-to-date with the latest features and support
for all boards. Follow [3] to start coding in the browser and upload your sketches onto your board.
5.3 Getting Started – Arduino IoT Cloud
All Arduino IoT enabled products are supported on Arduino IoT Cloud which allows you to log, graph and analyze
sensor data, trigger events, and automate your business or your personal environment.

5.4 Sample Sketches

Sample sketches for the Arduino Portenta H7 can be found either in the "Examples" menu in the Arduino IDE or in
the "Documentation" section of the Arduino Pro website [5].

5.5 Online Resources

Now that you have gone through the basics of what you can do with the board you can explore the endless
possibilities it provides by checking exciting projects on ProjectHub [6], the Arduino Library Reference [7] and the
web store [8] where you will be able to complement your board with sensors, actuators and more.
