”
product version.
SARA-N3 series modules include the
RXD_AUX
and
TXD_AUX
pins as secondary auxiliary UART
interface.
The characteristics of the SARA-
N3 modules’
secondary auxiliary UART interface are:
•
Serial port with RS-232 functionality conforming to ITU-T V.24 recommendation
•
It operates at
V_INT
level, with voltage value set as per external
VSEL
pin configuration
o
0 V for low data bit or ON state
o
V_INT
, i.e. 1.8 V or 2.8 V, for high data bit or OFF state
•
Data lines (
RXD_AUX
as module data output,
TXD_AUX
as module data input) are provided
1.9.3
Additional UART interface
SARA-N2 series modules include the
GPIO1
pin as additional UART interface, supporting:
•
Diagnostic trace log
The characteristics of the SARA-
N2 modules’ additional UART interface are:
•
Serial port with RS-232 functionality conforming to ITU-T V.24 recommendation
•
It operates at
V_INT
level, with voltage value set as per external
VSEL
pin configuration
o
0 V for low data bit or ON state
o
V_INT
, i.e. 1.8 V, for high data bit or OFF state
•
Data line (
GPIO1
as module data output) is provided
•
Fixed baud rate: 921600 b/s
•
Fixed frame format: 8N1 (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit)
☞
Provide a test point connected to the
GPIO1
pin for diagnostic purpose.
☞
The trace diagnostic log is temporarily stopped when the SARA-N2 module is in deep-sleep mode.
SARA-N3 series modules include the
RXD_FT
and
TXD_FT
pins as additional UART interface,
supporting:
•
Diagnostic trace log
•
FW upgrades by means of the u-blox EasyFlash tool

☞
Provide test points to the
RXD_FT
and
TXD_FT
pins for diagnostic and FW update purposes.
