1.11 General Purpose Input/Output
GPIOs are not supported by TOBY-L2 modules “00”, “01” and “60” product versions, except for the
Wireless Wide Area Network status indication configured on GPIO1 pin.
GPIOs are not available on MPCI-L2 series modules.
TOBY-L2 series modules include 14 pins (GPIO1-GPIO6, I2S_TXD, I2S_RXD, I2S_CLK, I2S_WA, DTR, DSR, DCD,
RI) that can be configured as General Purpose Input/Output or to provide custom functions via u-blox AT
commands (see the u-blox AT Commands Manual [3], +UGPIOC, +UGPIOR, +UGPIOW AT commands), as
summarized in Table 13.
