Arduino ASX00055 - Portenta Mid Carrier

Overview
The Portenta Mid Carrier accelerates prototyping with your Portenta C33, Portenta H7, or Portenta X8, allowing effortless access to 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 benefit from dedicated debug pins and RTC battery backup to further simplify development.
Key benefits include:

• Excellent prototyping tool for scalable Portenta applications
• Quick access to all high-density signals from Portenta
• Expand existing projects with multiple connection options, thanks to Ethernet and mPCIe ports
• Utilize the built-in microSD card slot to boot from an external source
• Easily interact with actuators using the integrated CAN lines (with onboard or external transceiver)
• Develop industrial image processing solutions using the integrated camera connections
• Simple reference design for developing your own hardware

Applications
The Portenta Mid Carrier can be combined with MIPI or Arducam cameras to optimize the development of image processing prototypes and can accelerate testing of cellular connections thanks to its Mini-PCIe port. Ideal for smart cities and buildings, remote maintenance, and fleet management.
