Serial communication
LISA-U2 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
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 LISA-U2 modules are designed to operate as an HSPA cellular 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 see
u-blox AT Commands Manual
The module firmware can be upgraded over all the serial interfaces listed above by means of AT command (for
more details see section 3.1 as well as the
u-blox AT Commands Manual
[2], +UFWUPD command).
The module firmware can be upgraded over the following serial interfaces using the u-blox EasyFlash tool:
The UART interface (only the
RxD
and
TxD
lines are needed)
The USB interface (all the provided lines
VUSB_DET
,
USB_D+
and
USB_D-
are needed)
To directly enable PC (or similar) connection to the module for firmware upgrade using the u-blox
EasyFlash tool, 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-sections describe the serial interfaces configuration and provide a detailed description of each
interface for the application circuits.
