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 to the board while
simultaneously outputting Displayport and USB. Such dongles usually provide an ethernet over USB port, a 2 port USB hub
and a USB-C® port that can be used to provide power to the system.
