1.11 General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)
SARA-G450 modules provide 4 pins (GPIO1, GPIO2, GPIO3, GPIO4), which can be configured as general
purpose input or output, or can be configured to provide special functions via u-blox AT commands
(for further details, see the u-blox AT commands manual [11], +UGPIOC, +UGPIOR, +UGPIOW).
Table 11 summarizes the custom functions available on the GPIO pins of SARA-G450 modules:

1.12 Reserved pins (RSVD)
SARA-G450 modules have pins reserved for future use, marked as RSVD.
All the RSVD pins can be left unconnected on the application board, except for the RSVD pin #33 that
can be externally connected to GND or left unconnected too.
