CONNECTORS

BASEBOARD CONNECTOR

While the 7-pin

Power and Communications Connector

is the most common way

to connect an external system to the SIM225 (and most common across various
sizes and families of SIMs), the SIM225 Baseboard Connector is one of the most
flexible off-module connectors available and exposes many more signals. Often a
simple 2-layer PCB daughter-card will be attached to the SIM225 using this
connector to adapt the SIM225 to a particular system environment. For example,
at

Serious we developed for a customer an RS485 transceiver plus 12-30VDC

switching power supply daughter-card that could connect to a powered RS485
network cable driven by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The signals available on the Baseboard
Connector are very reconfigurable, supporting I2C, SPI, CAN, high speed serial, USB device, as well as
GPIO, battery power, system reset, and more.

Many of the indicated functions require both the PnmPFS and PORTm.PMR registers to be

correctly configured. Careful examination of the

RX MCU Hardware Manual

yields the ability to

reconfigure many of these pins to these functions as well as other modes, including GPIO.
