Hi @miguelluhulima

Welcome to the forum.

No, you cannot run Node-RED on an Arduino Portenta H7.

Node-RED runs on top of the node.js runtime. That requires a full operating system - not an embedded runtime like you find on the arduino family of devices.

You can, of course, run code on the Arduino that communicates with node-red running on, for example, a pi, using MQTT or other protocols.
