10 Onboard Memories
The Arduino® Portenta X8 includes two onboard memory modules. A NT6AN512T32AV 2GB LP-DDR4 DRAM (U19)
and 16GB Forsee eMMC Flash module (FEMDRW016G) (U5) are accessible to the i.MX 8M Mini (U2).
11 Crypto Capabilities
The Arduino® Portenta X8 enables IC level edge-to-cloud security capability through the NXP® SE050C2 Crypto
chip (U11). This provides Common Criteria EAL 6+ security certification up to OS level, as well as RSA/ECC
cryptographic algorithm support and credential storage. It interacts with the NXP® i.MX 8M Mini via I2C.
12 Gigabit Ethernet
The NXP® i.MX 8M Mini Quad includes a 10/100/1000 Ethernet controller with support for Energy Efficient Ethernet
(EEE), Ethernet AVB, and IEEE 1588. An external physical connector is required to complete the interface. This can
be accessed via a high density connector with an external component such as the Arduino® Portenta Breakout
board.
13 USB-C Connector
The USB-C connector provides multiple connectivity options over a single physical interface:
Provide board power supply in both DFP and DRP mode
Source power to external peripherals when board is powered through VIN
Expose High Speed (480 Mbps) or Full Speed (12 Mbps) USB Host/Device interface
Expose Displayport output interface The Displayport interface is usable in conjunction with USB and can be
either used with a simple cable adapter when board is powered via VIN or with dongles able to provide power
