C1-Public
The configuration and behavior of the UART signals after the boot sequence are described below:
•
The module data output line (
RXD
) is set by default to the OFF state (high level) at UART
initialization. The module holds
RXD
in the OFF state until the module transmits some data.
•
The module data input line (
TXD
) is assumed to be controlled by the external host once UART is
initialized. The
TXD
data input line has an internal active pull-up enabled.
1.9.1.3
UART multiplexer protocol
LEXI-R422 modules include multiplexer functionality as per 3GPP TS 27.010
, on the primary UART
physical link. This is a data link protocol which uses HDLC-like framing and operates between the
module (DCE) and the application processor (DTE) and allows a number of simultaneous sessions over
the primary UART physical link. The following virtual channels are defined:
•
Channel 0: for multiplexer control.
•
Channel 1: for all AT commands, and non-Dial Up Network (non-DUN) data connections. UDP,
TCP data socket / data call connections via relevant AT commands.
•
Channel 2: for Dial Up Network (DUN) data connection. It requires the host to have and use its
own TCP/IP stack. The DUN can be initiated on modem side or terminal/host side.
•
Channel 3: for u-blox GNSS data tunneling.

USB interface
1.9.2.1
USB features
LEXI-R422 modules include a high-speed USB 2.0 interface
, available for FW upgrade by means of
the u-blox EasyFlash tool and for diagnostic purposes. The module itself acts as a USB device, and it
can be connected to a USB host such as a Personal Computer equipped with compatible drivers.
LEXI-R422 modules provide the following USB lines:
•
the
USB_D+
/
USB_D-
lines, carrying the USB data and signaling
•
the
USB_5V0
input pin to enable the USB interface by applying an external 5.0 V typical voltage
•
the
USB_3V3
input pin to supply the USB interface by applying an external 3.3 V typical voltage
☞
If the USB interface is enabled, the module does not enter the low power deep-sleep mode.
☞
It is highly recommended to provide accessible test points directly connected to the
V_INT
,
PWR_CTRL
,
USB_5V0
,
USB_3V3
,
USB_D+
,
USB_D-
,
RSVD #99
pins for FW upgrade and/or for
diagnostic purpose.
1.9.3
I2C interface
LEXI-R422 modules include an I2C-bus compatible interface (
SDA
,
SCL
lines) to communicate with
an external u-blox GNSS receiver and with external I2C devices: the LEXI-R422 module acts as an I2C
host which can communicate with I2C devices in accordance with the I2C bus specifications
The
SDA
and
SCL
pins have internal pull-up to
V_INT
, so there is no need of additional pull-up resistors
on the external application board.
