Common Problems and

Troubleshooting 

1. Unable to find COM port in the Device Manager when EVB is connected to PC with a USB cable.

Check that the EVB communication interface is properly connected to the PC.

Verify that CP210x Driver has been installed successfully.

2. Communication interface not outputting any messages or commands.

Check that the power supply indication LED on the EVB is illuminated.

Verify that the jumper cap(s) is(/are) connected correctly, as shown in 

Figure  1: EVB and

Components

.

Ensure that the module's power supply is normal.

3. Module unable to search for satellite signals.

If there is no transponder indoors, test the module in an open-sky environment.

4. Module unable to upgrade.

Verify whether the module is in normal operating mode.

Check that the downloaded firmware is correct.

Confirm that the correct COM port has been selected.

For the problem(s) that cannot be solved, please  contact  Quectel Technical Support
