EVK-G3x overview 

The EVK-G31 and EVK-G35 are powerful and easy-to-use tools that simplify the evaluation of u-blox SARA-G310 
and SARA-G350 GSM/GPRS cellular modules. 
The evaluation kits differ depending on which SARA-G3 series module version is mounted: 

 

SARA-G310 module is provided on the EVK-G31 evaluation kit 

 

SARA-G350 module is provided on the EVK-G35 evaluation kit 

This document identifies both evaluation kits as EVK-G3x. 
This section describes the main connections and settings required to get started. 
 

 

EVK-G3x can also be used to evaluate other SARA-G3 series modules as SARA-G300 and SARA-G340. 

 

See the 

SARA-G3 series Data Sheet

 [3] and the

 SARA-G3 / SARA-U2 series System Integration Manual

 [4] 

for the features supported by SARA-G3 series modules.
