Connector  Applications 

 

3.1. 

Tape-B USB Connector 

 
Both Type-B USB connectors can supply power for the EVB. The power supply current of EVB cannot be 
lower than 2A.   
 
EG25 

USB AT Port

 is mainly used for the account configuration of RTK. 

 

Enhanced COM Port

 is mainly used to configure LC29D module and firmware upgrade. 

 

Standard COM Port

 is mainly used for LC29D module NMEA output.   

EG25 USB Connector

USB TO UART Connector

 

Figure 2: Type-B USB Connector 

 

 

Before using the EVB, please install the USB driver.
