Page 6: Introduction
1 Introduction 1.1 Application Examples The Arduino® Nicla Vision houses the computational power, camera and IMU you need to quickly develop machine vision solutions at the edge, along with two wireless technologies. The board can function as a ﬁeld-ready standalone board or be extended with external peripherals through the I/O available on the chip. Ultra-low power consumption and integrated battery management allow for deployment in various capabilities.
Page 7: Assembly Overview
Arduino® Nicla Vision 1.4 Assembly Overview An example of a typical solution for remote machine vision including an Arduino® Nicla Vision and battery. Notice the orientation of the battery's cable in the board's connector. Note: The NTC pin on the battery connector is optional. This feature allows safer use and thermal shutoﬀ of the PMIC.

Page 12: Processor
0.40mm pitch, surface-mount 3.3 Processor The Nicla Vision's main processor is the dual-core STM32H747 (U1), which includes a Cortex® M7 running at 480 MHz and a Cortex® M4 running at 240 MHz. The two cores communicate via a Remote Procedure Call mechanism, which allows functions to be called on the other processor seamlessly.
Page 13: Time Of Flight Sensor
Nicla Vision Power Tree Input voltage can be provided to the Nicla Vision through the USB connector (J7), the ESLOV connector (J5), the battery connector (J4) or the headers. The USB connector is prioritized over the ESLOV connector, both of which are prioritized over the battery connector and header.
Page 14: Board Operation
4.1 Getting Started - IDE If you want to program your Arduino® Nicla Vision while oﬄine, you need to install the Arduino® Desktop IDE [1]. To connect the Arduino® Vision to your computer, you will need a micro USB cable. This also provides power to the board, as indicated by the LED.
Page 15: Getting Started - Arduino Cloud
This board can function as a secondary to an ESLOV controller and update the ﬁrmware through this method. 4.6 Sample Sketches Sample sketches for the Arduino® Nicla Vision can be found either in the “Examples” menu in the Arduino® IDE or on the Arduino® documentation website [4] 4.7 Online Resources...
