Overview
Portenta Mid Carrier accelerates prototyping with your Portenta C33, Portenta H7, or Portenta X8, allowing you to effortlessly access high-density signals through dedicated headers.
Instantly add a range of peripherals to your project – including mini PCIe, two CAN lines, Ethernet, microSD, USB, and camera – and enjoy dedicated debug pins and RTC battery backup to simplify development even further.
Key benefits include:
- Great prototyping tool for scalable Portenta applications
- Quickly access all Portenta’s high-density signals
- Expand existing projects with multiple connectivity options, thanks to Ethernet and mPCIe connectors
- Leverage onboard MicroSD card slot to boot from an external source
- Easily interact with actuators deploying the onboard CAN lines (with onboard or offboard transceiver)
- Develop industrial machine vision solutions exploiting onboard camera connectors
- Simple reference design to develop proprietary hardware
Applications
The Portenta Mid Carrier combines with MIPI or Arducam® cameras to streamline machine vision prototyping, and can accelerate cellular connectivity testing thanks to its mini PCIe connector. Perfect for smart cities and buildings, remote maintenance, and fleet management.

With just a few days to go, Arduino Days 2025 promises to be one of the biggest and most exciting events in our 20-year history! Join us for two days of live-streamed content on March 21st-22nd, featuring inspiring talks, major product announcements, and community showcases from makers, educators, and industry leaders worldwide. Big announcements and exclusive discounts We’ll be diving into some of our most exciting recent launches, including the Portenta Proto Kit ME, the E/E Starter Kit developed with Bosch, and Arduino UNO Ek R4 – made in India and available exclusively in the country. But that’s just the beginning: tune in to be the first to hear about brand-new announcements, including exciting developments around Arduino Cloud! And because we’re celebrating 20 years of Arduino, we’ve got something special for you: exclusive discounts on the Arduino Store throughout the event. A packed lineup of speakers and topics This year’s live-streamed event brings together an incredible mix of voices, from Arduino users presenting their ideas to startups and multinational partners sharing their success stories. Expect sessions covering robotics, generative AI, building automation, and K-12 education, with insights from some of the most influential figures in open-source hardware, IoT, and embedded technology. Eben Upton (Raspberry Pi), Limor Fried (Adafruit), and Zach Shelby (Edge Impulse) will discuss the future of connected devices and how open-source platforms continue to shape innovation. For those interested in IoT and connectivity, we’ll have key insights from Swee Ann Teo (Espressif Systems), Matt Johnson (Silicon Labs), and Jonhatan Beri (Golioth), covering how hardware, cloud, and AI are coming together to power the next generation of smart devices. You’ll find plenty of inspiration for your projects thanks to guests that run the gamut from custom electric cars (Charly Bosch) to interactive art (Mónica
