Figure 14 shows the module switch-on sequence from the not-powered mode, describing the following phases:
The external supply is applied to the
VCC
module supply inputs, representing the start-up event.
The
V_BCKP
RTC supply output is suddenly enabled by the module as
VCC
reaches a valid voltage value.
The
PWR_ON
and the
RESET_N
pins suddenly rise to high logic level due to internal pull-ups.
All the generic digital pins of the module are tri-stated until the switch-on of their supply source (
V_INT
).
The internal reset signal is held low: the baseband core and all the digital pins are held in the reset state. The
reset state of all the digital pins is reported in the pin description table of
LARA-R2 series
Data Sheet
When the internal reset signal is released, any digital pin is set in a proper sequence from the reset state to
the default operational configured state. The duration of this pins’ configuration phase differs within generic
digital interfaces and the USB interface due to host / device enumeration timings (see section 1.9.2).
The module is fully ready to operate after all interfaces are configured.

Figure 14: LARA-R2 series switch-on sequence description
The greeting text can be activated by means of the +CSGT AT command (see
u-blox AT Commands Manual
to notify the external application that the module is ready to operate (i.e. ready to reply to AT commands) and the
first AT command can be sent to the module, given that autobauding must be disabled on the UART to let the
module sending the greeting text: the UART must be configured at a fixed baud rate (the baud rate of the
application processor) instead of the default autobauding, otherwise the module does not know the baud rate to
be used for sending the greeting text (or any other URC) at the end of the internal boot sequence.
The Internal Reset signal is not available on a module pin, but the host application can monitor the
V_INT
pin to sense the start of the LARA-R2 series module switch-on sequence.
Before the switch-on of the generic digital interface supply source (
V_INT
) of the module, no voltage driven
by an external application should be applied to any generic digital interface of the module.
Before the LARA-R2 series module is fully ready to operate, the host application processor should not send
any AT command over the AT communication interfaces (USB, UART) of the module.
The duration of the LARA-R2 series modules’ switch-on routine can vary depending on the application /
network settings and any concurrent module activities.
