The Max Carrier transforms Portenta modules into single-board computers or reference designs that enable Edge AI for powerful industrial, building automation, and robotics applications. Thanks to dedicated high-density connectors, it can be paired with the Portenta X8 or H7, allowing you to easily prototype and deploy your industrial projects. This Arduino Pro carrier expands Portenta's connectivity options with Fieldbus, LoRa®, Cat-M1, and NB-IoT. Among the many available plug-and-play connectors are Ethernet, USB-A, audio jacks, microSD, mini-PCIe, FD-CAN, and serial RS232/422/485.

Prototyping with Portenta Projects

The Arduino Portenta Max Carrier is designed to support developers in their prototyping by making the key peripherals of the high-density connectors of the Portenta boards (H7 and X8) accessible. It enables easy debugging via the JTAG connector and inspection of the CAN lines through the pins. At the same time, it is the right tool for testing Ethernet connectivity as well as expanding connectivity options (Cat-M1, NB-IoT, and LoRa®).
