- **MIPI Camera**: The Portenta Max Carrier, when combined with a Portenta X8, supports MIPI cameras. The latter can be plugged into the onboard camera connector (J4) via a flexible flat cable. The camera support is perfect for machine/computer vision applications such as product line inspection, object detection, image classification and robotics.

- **Debug interface**: Debugging capabilities are integrated directly into the Portenta Max Carrier and are accessible via micro USB. The J-link debugger is compatible with the Segger® J-Link OB and Blackmagic probes, driven by the STM32F405RGT6 controller. In addition to providing access to the Portenta board JTAG ports, different sniffer channels for I2C, CAN and UART lines are available. The debugger firmware can be updated via SWD on CN3. Additionally, headers for debugging the LoRa® are accessible via CN2 with SWD.
