1.9 Serial communication
LISA-U2 modules provide the following serial communication interfaces where the AT command
interface and Packet-Switched / Circuit-Switched Data communication are concurrently available:
One asynchronous serial interface (UART) that provides complete RS-232 functionality
conforming to the ITU-T V.24 Recommendation [3], with a limited data rate
One Inter Processor Communication (IPC) interface that includes a synchronous SPI-compatible
interface, with a maximum data rate of 26 Mbit/s
One high-speed USB 2.0 compliant interface, with a maximum data rate of 480 Mbit/s.
The LISA-U2 modules are designed to operate as an HSPA cellular modem, which represents a data
circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) as described by the ITU-T V.24 Recommendation [3]. A
customer application processor connected to the module through one of the interfaces represents
the data terminal equipment (DTE).
All the interfaces listed above are controlled and operated with:
AT commands according to 3GPP TS 27.007 [4]
AT commands according to 3GPP TS 27.005 [5]
AT commands according to 3GPP TS 27.010 [6]
u-blox AT commands
For the complete list of supported AT commands and their syntax, see the u-blox AT Commands
Manual [2].
The module firmware can be upgraded over all the serial interfaces listed above by means of an AT
command (for more details, see section 3.1 as well as the u-blox AT Commands Manual [2], +UFWUPD
command).
The module firmware can be upgraded over the following serial interfaces using the u-blox EasyFlash
tool:
The UART interface (only the RxD and TxD lines are needed)
The USB interface (all the provided lines VUSB_DET, USB_D+ and USB_D- are needed)
To directly enable PC (or similar) connection to the module for firmware upgrade using the u-blox
EasyFlash tool, provide direct access on the application board to the VUSB_DET, USB_D+ and
USB_D- lines of the module (or to the RxD and TxD lines). Also provide access to the PWR_ON or
the RESET_N pins, or enable the DC supply connected to the VCC pin to start the module firmware
upgrade (see the Firmware Update Application Note [16]).
The following sub-sections describe the serial interfaces configuration and provide a detailed
description of each interface for the application circuits.
