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.

Install FLECS Marketplace on the Portenta X8

FLECS and Arduino Pro are partnering to make Industry 4.0 easier for you. FLECS is the easy-to-configure and open-source platform that allows industrial users to work with automation solutions dedicated to their machinery just as easily as we all handle the apps on our phone: install, manage and configure via web interface, and let the system keep track of versions and ensure updates. All you need is a Portenta X8 – our powerful, industrial-grade SOM with Linux OS preloaded onboard: connect it to your computer via USB, install FLECS for free (with, literally, one line of code), and access the FLECS UI to pick the right solution for production control, communication, SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition), data analysis, fleet management and more. Deploying Linux applications has never been more straightforward: we could say it’s as easy as 1-2-3 – except there are actually only 2 steps to the whole process. “We are excited to offer the huge Arduino user community immediate access to our automation applications, so anyone can build and boost a wide variety of solutions for industrial contexts. It’s all made possible by Portenta X8, a groundbreaking product bringing Linux into the Arduino ecosystem.” – Patric Scholz, Managing Director at FLECS Indeed, while on one side you can now leverage all FLECS solutions in a few commands and clicks, on the other you will be working with one of Arduino Pro’s highest-performance modules: Portenta X8 is basically two industrial products in one, with the power of no less than 9 cores (an NXP i.MX 8M Mini Arm® Cortex®-A53 quad-core, up to 1.8GHz per core + 1x Cortex-M4 up to 400MHz, plus the STMicroelectronics STM32H747 dual-core Cortex-M7 up to 480MHz +M4 32-bit MCU up to 240MHz). And of course, the “superpower” of all Arduino products: being part of a comprehensive ecosystem of open-source hardware, software solutions, Cloud services and amazing community-based support.
