15.1î™–î™–î™–î™–Introduction
The section describes the AT commands used to configure the GPIO pins provided by u-blox cellular modules.
15.1.1î™–î™–î™–î™–GPIO functions
On u-blox cellular modules, GPIO pins can be opportunely configured as general purpose input or output.
Moreover GPIO pins of u-blox cellular modules can be configured to provide custom functions via +UGPIOC
AT command. The custom functions availability can vary depending on the u-blox cellular modules series and
version: see Table 15 for an overview of the custom functions supported by u-blox cellular modules.

Table 15: GPIO custom functions overview
The configuration of the GPIO pins (i.e. the setting of the parameters of the +UGPIOC AT command) is saved
in the NVM and used at the next power-on.
15.1.2î™–î™–î™–î™–GPIO mapping
The number of available GPIO pins and their mapping can vary depending on the u-blox cellular modules series
and version. The GPIOs mapping for different u-blox cellular modules is reported in the following tables.
See the corresponding module system integration manual for the functions supported by each GPIO.
<gpio_id> Pin name Pin number Factory-programmed function Remarks
16 GPIO1 16 Pin disabled -
23 GPIO2 23 Pin disabled -
24 GPIO3 24 Pin disabled -
25 GPIO4 25 Pin disabled -
42 GPIO5 42 Pin disabled Only pin 42 can be configured for
SIM card detection functionality
19 GPIO6 19 Pin disabled -

SARA-R4 / SARA-N4
When the SIM card detection functionality is enabled, the +CIND AT command reports the status.
When the SIM card detection functionality is enabled, the status can be read with the +UGPIOR AT
command.
