Clock output
LARA-R2 series modules provide the master digital clock output function on the
GPIO6
pin, which can be
configured to provide a 13 MHz or 26 MHz square wave. This is mainly designed to feed the master clock input
of an external audio codec, as the clock output can be configured in “Audio dependent” mode (generating the
square wave only when the audio path is active), or in “Continuous” mode.
For more details, see the
u-blox AT Commands Manual
[2], +UMCLK AT command.

General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)
LARA-R2 series modules include 9 pins (
GPIO1
-
GPIO5
,
I2S_TXD
,
I2S_RXD
,
I2S_CLK
,
I2S_WA
) which can be
configured as General Purpose Input/Output or to provide custom functions via u-blox AT commands (for more
details, see the
u-blox AT Commands Manual
[2], +UGPIOC, +UGPIOR, +UGPIOW AT commands), as summarized

Reserved pins (RSVD)
LARA-R2 series modules have pins reserved for future use, named
RSVD
: they can all be left unconnected on the
application board, except
the
RSVD
pin number
33
that must be externally connected to ground
