Functional description Overview The VERA-P1 series are compact, embedded transceiver modules that enables development of electronics for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication systems. These automotive grade modules are designed for applications such as traffic safety, intelligent traffic management and entertainment. The modules can be used for both in-vehicle units (OBU - On Board Unit) and infrastructure (RSU - Road Side Unit).
VERA-P1 series - Data Sheet Host interfaces USB interface The VERA-P1 series module supports a USB 2.0 high-speed interface for firmware loading (booting) and high speed data transfer (> 200 Mbps). The USB interface of the module is powered with 3.3 V supply voltage.
