Overview
Portenta Hat Carrier is a reliable and robust carrier that transforms Portenta X8 into an industrial single board computer compatible with Raspberry Pi® Hats and cameras. Ready for multiple industrial applications such as building automation and machine monitoring.
Compatible also with Portenta H7 and Portenta C33, Portenta Hat Carrier provides easy access to multiple peripherals – including CAN, Ethernet, microSD and USB – and further extends any Portenta application.
Great for prototyping and ready for scaling up, it extends the features found on a typical Raspberry Pi® Model B. Debug quickly with dedicated JTAG pins and keeps heat manageable under intense workloads with a PWM fan connector. Control actuators or read analog sensors via the additional 16x analog I/Os. Add industrial machine vision solutions to any project by leveraging the onboard camera connector.
Key benefits include:
- Add Raspberry Pi® Hats to your Portenta projects
- Quickly access CAN, USB, and Ethernet peripherals
- Leverage onboard MicroSD card to log data
- Enjoy simple debugging through the onboard JTAG pins
- Easily control actuators and read sensors via 16x analog I/Os
- Leveraging the onboard camera connector for machine vision
- Discover a great prototyping tool for scalable Portenta applications!
Portenta takes you from prototype to high-performance
Portenta Hat Carrier offers you a frictionless Linux prototyping experience and unlocks the ability for integrated real-time MCU solutions. Portenta Hat Carrier extends Portenta SOMs for faster, easier and more efficient testing for your ideas while also ensuring the capabilities and industrial-grade performances the Portenta range is known for.

Everyone in the world of smart and digital automation is getting ready to meet at SPS in Nuremberg. It’s the place to be if you want to see the future come to life – and of course a great opportunity to get to know Arduino better, with live demos and the chance to talk directly to our experts. Come visit booth 5-338 to discover our growing ecosystem of solutions and see it in action! “Since the 2022 edition of SPS, we’ve launched dozens of components, released software upgrades and added new services. But that’s only half the story. What we strive to achieve is to enable millions of Arduino users to imagine, implement and truly innovate. Our mission is to make technology accessible to all, to see people achieve the impossible. The maker philosophy may have started with tinkering in a messy garage, but has evolved into a distinct professional approach that allows everyone to seize the opportunities that come with the most disruptive phenomena of the present.”– Adriano Chinello, Pro Business Unit Leader at Arduino Without doubt, automation is one of the strongest trends we see today, with huge potential for future development. That’s why the applications we’ll showcase at SPS run the gamut from super-powerful edge computing to energy monitoring systems. For example, in Nuremberg you can check out how the Portenta X8 combines with the Portenta Max Carrier to deploy a secure, industrial-grade Linux computer – ready to interact with equipment in the factory or integrate with existing smart kiosks by creating a multi-protocol gateway that collects data from various onsite controllers, processes them and sends them to the Cloud via Wi-Fi, LoRa®, NB/IoT or LTE Cat.M1. Or you can find out how the Portenta Machine Control can be integrated in an electric panel to monitor consumption and other energy-related parameters... or team up with a Nicla Vision to control a robotic arm that automatically picks items from a conveyor belt and places
