IO_1833_SEL

I
GPIO level control input
When floating, the pin
level is 1.1V
When the IO_1833_SEL pin is floating, after setting "AT+VIOSET=1", the power domain of the module's
GPIO is 1.8V. When "AT+VIOSET" is not set, its default value is "1".
When the IO_1833_SEL pin is grounded, after setting "AT+VIOSET=3", the power domain of the GPIO port
of the module will be set to 3.3V.
The voltage of the GPIO of the module will not exceed the voltage of VBAT. When VBAT<3.3V, even if
the IO_1833_SEL pin is grounded, the level of the GPIO port will be lower than 3.3V.
The GPIO of the module includes three UART ports, RI, SPI, NETLIGHT, SWDIO/SWDCLK.
When the module's GPIO level selection is switched, VDD_EXT will also follow the switch.
3.5 UART Interface
SIM7028 provides two serial ports: UART1 and UART0.

3.5.1 UART1 is used for serial communication
UART1 is the main serial port, which can be used for AT command communication. UART1 supports
adaptive baud rate and can be configured as 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400,
460800 bps. It can be set by AT command "AT+IPR".
3.5.2 UART1 is used for firmware upgrade and calibration
