EVK-U2x overview

The EVK-U20 and EVK-U23 are powerful and easy-to-use tools that make evaluating the u-blox LISA-U200 and
LISA-U230 HSPA+/UMTS/EGPRS/GSM cellular modules simple.
The evaluation kits differ depending on which LISA-U2 series module version is mounted:



LISA-U200 module is provided on the EVK-U20 evaluation kit



LISA-U230 module is provided on the EVK-U23 evaluation kit

This document identifies both evaluation kits as EVK-U2x.
This section describes the main connections and settings required to get started.

EVK-U2x can also be used to evaluate the LISA-U2 series modules: LISA-U201, LISA-U260, LISA-U270.

See the

LISA-U2 series Data Sheet

[2] and the

LISA-U series System Integration Manual

[3] for the features

supported by u-blox LISA-U2 series HSPA+/UMTS/EGPRS/GSM cellular modules.
