### Debugger
Debugging capabilities are integrated directly into the Portenta Max Carrier and are accessible via microUSB (J10). The J-link debugger is compatible with the Segger® J-Link OB and Blackmagic probes, driven by the STM32F405RGT6 controller (U15). In addition to providing access to the Portenta board JTAG ports, different sniffer channels for I2C, CAN and UART lines. The debugger firmware can be updated via SWD on CN3. Additionally, headers for debugging the LoRa® are accessible via CN2 with SWD.

**Note:** USB, I2C and SIM functionality over PCIe is available only for the X8. Full PCIe functionality not provided at this time.

### Mini PCIe Connector and Cellular Capability
The Portenta Max Carrier does not have built-in cellular capability but includes a Mini PCIe slot (J8) that allows for the integration of optional 4G modules with GNSS capabilities. This slot supports USB, I2C and USIM interfaces, allowing the system to add cellular connectivity and GNSS functionality. Users can install a compatible 4G module to provide cellular connectivity.

This slot supports USB, I2C and USIM interfaces and allows the system to add cellular connectivity and GNSS functionality. Users can install a compatible 4G module to provide cellular connectivity.

The Mini PCIe interface on the Portenta Max Carrier is optimized for integrating cellular and GNSS modules, supporting multiple communication protocols and power management features. It enables IoT, remote monitoring and edge computing applications with reliable connectivity.

An external power source of 6V to 36V is required to use the Mini PCIe slot to maintain stable operation, especially for high-power consumption applications. To enable the Mini PCIe interface on the Portenta Max Carrier, power the PCIE ENABLE (PWM6) pin with 3.3 V and install a compatible Mini PCIe module, such as the Pro 4G GNSS Module Global (SKU: TPX00200) or Pro 4G EMEA (SKU: TPX00201) Module. The PCIE ENABLE (PWM6) is the 33rd pin of the High-Density Connector (HDC) Stacker Connector (J5).

### Micro SIM Card Slot
The Portenta Max Carrier features a micro SIM card slot (SIM1) designed for use with the SARA-R412M-02B module. Please note that the carrier itself does not provide cellular radio capability. Cellular functionality is available only when the appropriate module is installed.

The micro SIM slot enables network connectivity for the cellular module and does not function independently. It works with the SARA-R412M-02B modem, providing access to LTE, Cat-M1 and NB-IoT networks. The dedicated SMA connector allows for the attachment of an external antenna to provide stable signal reception and performance. For detailed implementation process, please refer to the [user manual of the Portenta Max Carrier](https://docs.arduino.cc/tutorials/portenta-max-carrier/user-manual/)

### USB
The Portenta Max Carrier also includes a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Hub controller based on the USB2514B/M2 (U3) that manages the 2 USB devices from the USB type A connector (J15) plus the LoRa® (U23) and PCIe (J8) modules. J15 is protected by a NCP383LMUAJAATXG (U7) power switch and current limiter.
