3.10. UART Interface
The module provides two UART interfaces: main UART interface and debug UART interface. The
following shows the different features.
 Main UART interface supports 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600bps
baud rate, the default is 115200bps, while autobauding is not supported. This interface can be used
for data transmission, AT communication or firmware upgrade.
 Debug UART interface supports 115200bps. It can be used for GNSS NMEA sentences output.
USB interface supports software debug and firmware upgrade by default.
The module is designed as the DCE (Data Communication Equipment), following the traditional
DCE-DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) connection. The following tables show the pin definition of these
two UART interfaces.
