for more information.
Evaluation board
S-2CONNECT Creo Evaluation Board (EVB) is a tool intended to be used by developers of application code for
S-2CONNECT Creo SOM. Download the full hardware manual at

Connectivity
Creo SOM can communicate with any server system via cellular network. It uses LTE/NB-IoT/ CatM, with
2G-fallback for global coverage. A mobile operator subscription is required. The Creo SOM is provided with
an embedded SIM with 3 months connectivity subscription included, which can be extended if required.
Please register your device and thereby you SIM subscription to ensure proper operation.

The Creo SOM board features also a SIM card holder which allows to instead use the developers preferred
SIM card.
Software development resource
A software development kit (SDK) is available for developers using the S-2CONNECT Creo SOM board. The
SDK can be accessed here:
www.s-2connect.com/creo-sdk
A demo application can be found inside the SDK, which will enable you to get started.
Connecting your SOM board to the EVB
Before you can begin using your S-2CONNECT Creo SOM development kit you should take the following steps:
1. Place your S-2CONNECT Creo SOM board on top of your S-2CONNECT Creo EVB and carefully slide it in into
the 200 pin SO-DIMM connector, as shown in the image below.
2. Next connect your chosen antenna. GNSS and LTE antennas can either be connected directly to the u.FL
connectors on the SOM board, or via the u.FL – SMA adapters mounted on the EVB. The Bluetooth antenna is
internal only and requires no external connection.
