Software Upgrade

Customer could upgrade module's firmware through USB or UART interface.
If upgrading through USB interface, it is necessary to power on SIM800L first, then connect VBUS, USB_DP,
USB_DN, and GND to PC. There is no need to operate PWRKEY pin in the whole procedure, when SIM800L
detects VBUS and could communicate normally with USB_DP and USB_DN, it will enter USB download mode
automatically.
If customer upgrades the software through UART interface, it is strongly recommended to lead the UART1_TXD,
UART1_RXD, GND and PWRKEY pin to IO connector for the upgrading, and PWRKEY pin should connect to
GND while upgrading. Refer to the following figure for debugging and upgrading software.
Module(DCE)
Figure 26: Connection for software upgrading and debugging
The UART interface supports the CMOS level. If customer connects the module to the computer, the level shifter
should be added between the DCE and DTE.

Standby High
The pin is changed to low. When any of the following events occur, the pin will be changed
to high:
Voice call
（1）Establish the call
（2）Hang up the call
The pin is changed to low. When any of the following events occur, the pin will be changed
to high:
Data call
（1）Establish the call
（2）Hang up the call
SMS The pin is changed to low, and kept low for 120ms when a SMS is received. Then it is
