3.3 UART Interface
SIM7000 provides a 7-wire UART (universal asynchronous serial transmission) interface as DCE
(Data Communication Equipment). AT commands and data transmission can be performed through
this UART interface.
In DAM (Downloadable Application Module) application, SIM7000 provides a UART interface to
use. This UART multiplexed from GPIO. The GPIO0 multiplex as TXD and the GPIO1 multiplex
as RXD. This UART interface can’t use as AT port or data transmission. It is only used as UART in
DAM application when secondary development.
SIM7000 support high speed UART, the baud rate is up to 4Mbps. The communication baud rates
include:0,300,600,1200,2400,4800,9600,19200,38400,57600,115200,230400,921600,2000000 ,300
0000,3200000,3686400 bps. The rate 0bps mark auto baud rate.
And it supports auto baud rate, but
the rate only supported on
9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200. If users need to change to other baud
rate, it needs to switch via
manual operation.
