1 UART interfaces
2 ===============
3
4 Both Calypso UARTs are brought out on the GTM900 module interface as follows:
5
6 Pin Name in manual Connected Calypso ball
7 11 RXD2 TX_IRDA
8 12 TXD2 RX_IRDA
9 -------------------------------
10 16 UART_DSR GPIO1
11 17 UART_RI GPIO0
12 18 UART_RXD TX_MODEM
13 19 UART_TXD RX_MODEM
14 20 UART_CTS RTS_MODEM
15 21 UART_RTS CTS_MODEM
16 22 UART_DTR GPIO3
17 23 UART_DCD GPIO2
18
19 The interface signal names in Huawei's manual are given from the host's
20 perspective (classic DTE-to-DCE paradigm), thus they are the opposite of the
21 connected Calypso signal names. For the MODEM UART a complete 8-signal
22 interface with full modem control is defined, but the Calypso only provides
23 TxD & RxD, RTS & CTS, thus the other 4 modem control signals are GPIOs. The
24 signals which are defined as DTR and DCD from the host's perspective are
25 connected to GPIOs 3 and 2, respectively, just like on TI's C-Sample and
26 D-Sample boards, whereas the choices of GPIOs for DSR and RI are Huawei's own
27 arbitrary picks, as TI's development boards did not provide these signals.
28
29 Power control signals
30 =====================
31
32 Interface pin 13 (called VDD in the manual) appears to be connected to the V-IO
33 rail inside.
34
35 Interface pin 15 (PWON) is connected directly to Iota PWON as expected.
36
37 Interface pin 31 (called RST in the manual) appears to be connected to Iota
38 nTESTRESET through the same transistor circuit as on TI's development boards,
39 i.e., the signal brought out on the module interface is not raw nTESTRESET, but
40 what we call XDS_RESET, originally meant to be driven by TI's XDS510 and XDS560
41 "emulator" pods.
42
43 Other signals
44 =============
45
46 Interface pin 14 (called ADC in the manual) is connected to Iota ADIN1.
47
48 Interface pin 32 (called LPG in the manual) is indeed connected to Calypso ball
49 DSR_MODEM/LPG, which Huawei's firmware configures to be the LPG output.
