Using the Portenta X8 with the Portenta Max Carrier enables a large suite of peripherals and features. With the Portenta X8 it is possible to use Linux containers and Python® scripts, it is also possible to use the M4 core on the board to interface with the Portenta Max Carrier. In this tutorial we will focus on the peripherals and features that are available to us.

The Portenta Max Carrier equips two different memory units on-board, a flash memory and a mini SD card slot. The Flash memory on-board the Portenta Max Carrier has 2 MB of storage via QSPI. The Mini SD card interface makes it possible to extend the storage size. It can be used to process log data, from sensors or programmed on-board computer registry.

The Portenta Max Carrier features the CS42L52 from Cirrus Logic®, a stereo CODEC. The CS42L52 is a 24-bit, low-power stereo CODEC that can provide up to 1W per channel of Class D stereo/mono amplification to external speakers or enough power to drive 44mW per channel into stereo headphones. There are four analog audio interfaces on the Portenta Max Carrier, these are marked on the image below.

The Portenta Max Carrier carries a cellular modem SARA-R412M-02B to carry out tasks requiring general network connectivity. This cellular modem is capable of establishing 2G / Cat-M1 / NB-IoT connections globally. It is powered by bidirectional logic level shifter SN74LVC1T45 and an internal regulator, implemented for the use of SIM card and I/O. The cellular modem requires a SIM card and an antenna connected to the SMA connector.

One of the many features of the Portenta Max Carrier is the Murata CMWX1ZZABZ-078 that enables LoRaWAN® connectivity. LoRaWAN® is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) designed to connect low power devices to the Internet. It was developed to meet and fulfill Internet of Things (IoT) devices' requirements, such as low-power consumption and low data throughput.

If you wish to use the Portenta X8 and Max Carrier with the Arduino IDE, please follow our [Uploading sketches to Arduino Portenta X8 tutorial](/tutorials/portenta-x8/uploading-sketches-m4). Also, make sure that you have the latest version of the Portenta Core installed. Go to **Tools > Boards > board manager...** and search for **Arduino Mbed OS Portenta boards**. When this is installed and your Portenta X8 board is connected to the computer, the board should be assigned a port in the Arduino IDE.
