Includes the powerful NXP® i.MX 8M Mini processor with 4x ARM® Cortex®-A53 core platforms up to 1.8GHz per core and 1x Cortex-M4 core up to 400MHz.

X8's integrated microcontroller is the dual core STM32H747 including a Cortex® M7 running at 480 MHz and a Cortex® M4 running at 240 MHz. The M4 core is available for real time control of motors and other time-critical machinery at a barebones level. The M7 core acts as a mediator between the peripherals and the i.MX 8M Mini and runs a proprietary firmware inaccessible to the User.

The Crypto chip allows users to keep security in mind by ensuring a secure connection at the hardware level.

The X8 offers the best of two approaches: the flexibility of usage of Linux combined with real-time applications. This approach allows developers to leverage the Arduino environment to perform e.g. automation control while accomplishing high-performance processes on Linux cores at the same time.

With the so called encapsulated application, developers can isolate a single package of software, which means that the applications can run within a controlled environment. This allows developers to design device-independent software while achieving modularization, thanks to the container composition.

通过 microUSB 的板载 JTAG 调试器（仅限 Portenta H7）

NB-IOT

Portenta Max Carrier 是一个很好的参考设计，可用于围绕 Portenta 生态系统开发您自己的定制产品。此外，Arduino Pro 可以提供完整的开发、生产和运营支持，以开发适合您业务需求的解决方案。

Portenta Max Carrier 旨在通过展示 Portenta 系列模块的主要外围设备来帮助开发人员制作原型。当与 Portenta H7 结合使用时，它可以通过JTAG 连接器轻松调试并检查 CAN 线路。同时，它还是测试以太网连接以及扩展连接选项（CAT-M1、NB-IoT 和 LoRa ®）的正确工具。

Portenta Max Carrier 可以与Portenta X8结合成为功能强大的工业 Linux 计算机。这可以通过多协议网关进行编程以监控和管理广泛的数据——通过 Wi-Fi、 LoRa® 、NB-IoT 或 LTE Cat.M1连接到云或 ERP 系统——或成为配备传感器和智能的智能 AGV ，可优化工厂或仓库的物流。在商场或车站，它可以为智能数字亭提供他们所需的计算能力、内存和各种功能，从读卡器到麦克风。在家里或办公室它可以同时控制暖通空调系统、开关智能电器、自主调节照明和控制访问。只需添加一个HMI 显示屏，一切尽在掌控之中。
