Cinterion LGA DevKit Things User Guide Quickstart Please complete the following steps to quickly get started with your LGA DevKit. • Mount the LGA DevKit socket onto the LGA DevKit (for details see Section 2.10). • Insert the fixing frame and then the module into the socket and close the retention lid by pressing it down and turning it clockwise.
Cinterion LGA DevKit Things User Guide 2.10 Mounting the LGA DevKit Socket Before operating, the socket has to be mounted onto the LGA DevKit with 4 screws. Scanning the QR code on the DevKit's under- side and/or the quick start guide will lead you to the DevKit's web home where you find a short introduction and video on how to do this.

Cinterion LGA DevKit Things User Guide LGA DevKit Interfaces The LGA DevKit comes with two USB interfaces supporting power supply and serial com- munication. You may choose to setup communication via a module's USB port and/or a module's UART (ASC0) port via FTDI232R VCP.
Cinterion LGA DevKit Things User Guide Figure 6: SIM interfaces and switch Pin Headers The pin headers at the top side can be used to setup connections between modules and possible on board peripherals. Thus, pin headers having signal names at their left side only, namely the pin headers CONTROL, ASC0_A, ASC0_B, DAI, ASC1, and GPIO, can be bridged by jumpers.
Cinterion LGA DevKit Things User Guide 4.3.1 Default Configuration Figure 8 shows the factory default jumper and switch positioning. Control & ASC0 3x Jumper Figure 8: Default jumper and switch configuration Please also verify that the SIM switch at the underside is set to default "CCIO Pullup dis- abled".
Cinterion LGA DevKit Things User Guide ASC0 Switch: Module UART Interface Selection The "ASC0" switch selects the module's UART communication interface either via USB VCP (FTDI232R) or via "RS232" D-Sub interface on the DSB75/DSB-Mini. Changing this from "USB" to "RS232" during operation resets the FTDI VCP bridge in order to release the signal lines, thus leading to a USB VCP disconnect on the host PC side.
Cinterion LGA DevKit Things User Guide LEDs The LGA DevKit LEDs have the following meaning: Meaning Blinking continuously: Module is inserted wrongly oriented, not powered, turn by 180° Blinking 2 times: No module inserted, not powered Blinking 3 times: A module not supported by footprint is inserted, not powered, change...
Cinterion LGA DevKit Things User Guide 4.11 Power Supply The LGA DevKit can be supplied through one or two USB ports that should be in the range of 5V +-5%, and/or externally by the DSB75/DSB-Mini. The modules supply level can be ad- justed in the range between 2.8…4.8V by setting the variable resistor at the DevKit's top...
Cinterion LGA DevKit Things User Guide Note: When measuring with a current meter, the meter’s internal resistance may cause a high voltage drop, forcing the module to shut down. This can be avoided by measuring the voltage cross the shunt. The current option is suitable for specialist power meter supplies, whereas the voltage option is suitable for common voltage meters.
Cinterion LGA DevKit Things User Guide General Characteristics The following table lists absolute maximum ratings for the LGA DevKit. Please note that vi- olation of these limits may cause permanent damage to the LGA DevKit. Table 2: Absolute maximum ratings...
Cinterion LGA DevKit Things User Guide Operating the LGA DevKit with a DSB LGA DevKit on DSB-Mini The LGA DevKit supports a 2x40pin connector at its underside, compatible to the DSB75/ DSB-Mini. A DSB may be a port extender for an RS232 interface, a second SIM or an analog audio interface.
Cinterion LGA DevKit Things User Guide LGA DevKit on DSB75 To operate the LGA DevKit with the DSB75 please complete the following steps: • Mount the LGA DevKit onto the DSB75. • Insert the module. • Set "PWR" and "ASC0".
Cinterion LGA DevKit Things User Guide LGA DevKit Firmware Update The Cinterion LGA DevKit features an internal processing unit that operates the LGA ® DevKit as well as the mounted modules - to for instance prevent damage when a module is inserted wrongly.
