Serial communication
LISA-U1 series modules provide the following serial communication interfaces where AT command interface and
Packet-Switched / Circuit-Switched Data communication are concurrently available:
One asynchronous serial interface (UART) that provides complete RS-232 functionality conforming to
ITU-T V.24 Recommendation
[3], with limited data rate. The UART interface can be used for firmware
upgrade
One Inter Processor Communication (IPC) interface that includes a synchronous SPI-compatible interface,
with maximum data rate of 26 Mb/s
One high-speed USB 2.0 compliant interface, with maximum data rate of 480 Mb/s. The single USB interface
implements 6 logical devices. Each device is a USB communications device class (or USB CDC), that is a
composite Universal Serial Bus device class. The USB interface can be used for firmware upgrade
The LISA-U1 series modules are designed to operate as an HSPA wireless modem, which represents the data
circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) as described by the
ITU-T V.24 Recommendation
[3]. A customer application
processor connected to the module through one of the interfaces represents the data terminal equipment (DTE).
All the interfaces listed above are controlled and operated with:
AT commands according to
3GPP TS 27.007
AT commands according to
3GPP TS 27.005
AT commands according to
3GPP TS 27.010
u-blox AT commands
For the complete list of supported AT commands and their syntax refer to the
u-blox AT Commands
Manual
The following serial communication interfaces can be used for firmware upgrade:
The UART interface, using the
RxD
and
TxD
lines only
The USB interface, using all the lines provided (
VUSB_DET
,
USB_D+
and
USB_D-
)
To directly enable PC (or similar) connection to the module for firmware upgrade, provide direct access
on the application board to the
VUSB_DET
,
USB_D+
and
USB_D-
lines of the module (or to the
RxD
and
TxD
lines). Also provide access to the
PWR_ON
or the
RESET_N
pins, or enable the DC supply
connected to the
VCC
pin to start the module firmware upgrade (see
Firmware Update Application Note
The following sub-chapters describe the serial interfaces configuration and provide a detailed description of each
interface for the application circuits.
1.9.1
Serial interfaces configuration
UART, USB and SPI/IPC serial interfaces are available as AT command interface and for Packet-Switched / Circuit-
Switched Data communication. The serial interfaces are configured as described in Table 18 (for information
about further settings, please refer to the
u-blox AT Commands Manual
[2]).
