    4 Operation guide 4.1 Powering On (1) The C2-M2X EVB can be powered directly via Type-C. The Type-C interface on the board serves both power supply and serial communication functions. Simply connect the Type-C port on the module to your computer using a Type-C USB cable to power it on.
  • Page 23 Figure4-1 Two COM ports recognized in Device Manager 4.3 Connection and Use The GNSS antenna should be installed in a stable, unobstructed area. If using it indoors, ensure that the antenna's RF signal can penetrate indoors. Connect the antenna to the C2-M2X development board using RF coaxial cable and use a Type-C data cable to connect the C2-M2X to external communication devices.
  • Page 24 5 Precautions 5.1 Precautions C2-M2X EVB is suitable for laboratory or engineering development environments. Before starting any operations, please read the following precautions: 1. Under no circumstances should performing the hot-plugging on the development board's interfaces or the carrier boards.
  • Page 25 1. Serial Communication Issues: Check if the power supply voltage is correct. Verify that the USB cable or the serial cable of the L-shaped carrier board is properly connected. Ensure that the USB driver is installed and up to date. Verify if the serial indicator lights on the development board are functioning correctly.Check the software for the correct serial port selection and baud rate.
