board of the EVK-N3 evaluation kit 

 

 

The pins / interfaces that are not supported by a specific SARA-N3 series product version should 
be not driven by an external device; see the SARA-N3 series data sheet 

[2]

 for the list of features 

supported by each SARA-N3 series product version.

Software installation 

The  USB  drivers  are  available  with  the  EVK-N3  evaluation  kit  package.  Executable  files  can  be 
downloaded from 

www.u-blox.com/evk-downloads

 and saved to any location on the computer hard 

drive. The installation can be started by running the executable file on a computer with the Windows 
operating system.
