1 Introduction
This document describes how to use the F03 EVB (Evaluation Board). It is an assistant tool for
engineers to develop and test F03 modules, which are designed in M.2 form factor.
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an accident.
Using a mobile while driving (even with a handsfree kit) causes distraction and can lead to an
accident. Please comply with laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while
driving.
Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. The operation of
wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with communication
systems. If the device offers an Airplane Mode, then it should be enabled prior to boarding an
aircraft. Please consult the airline staff for more restrictions on the use of wireless devices on
boarding the aircraft.
Wireless devices may cause interference on sensitive medical equipment, so please be aware
of the restrictions on the use of wireless devices when in hospitals, clinics or other healthcare
facilities.
Cellular terminals or mobiles operating over radio signals and cellular network cannot be
guaranteed to connect in all possible conditions (for example, with unpaid bills or with an
invalid (U)SIM card). When emergent help is needed in such conditions, please remember
using emergency call. In order to make or receive a call, the cellular terminal or mobile must
be switched on in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.
The cellular terminal or mobile contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives
and transmits radio frequency signals. RF interference can occur if it is used close to TV set,
radio, computer or other electric equipment.
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn off wireless
devices such as your phone or other cellular terminals. Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres include fuelling areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal
powders, etc.

4 Application Interfaces
This chapter describes the hardware interfaces of M.2 EVB, shown as follows:
Power interface
M.2 interface
USB interface
(U)SIM interface
JTag interface
PCIE interface
It also provides information about button, switches, status indication LEDs and test points to help
customers use the F03 EVB.
The following two figures show the simplified power supply schematic and the power interface of the
M.2 EVB.

5V DC power supply
Before connecting the power supply, customers have to select a proper DC power adapter to supply
power for the F03 EVB, and the power plug design of the adapter is shown as below.

The USB interface of F03 complies with USB 2.0 specification, USB 2.0 supports high speed (480 Mbps)
and full speed (12 Mbps) modes. The USB interface is used for AT command communication, data
transmission, GNSS NMEA output, software debugging, firmware upgrade.
The M.2 EVB provides a USB Micro-B interface J701 for connection with a host device. The USB data
lines D+ and D- are connected directly to the M.2 module. The VBUS lines can be used for USB
connection detection and EVB power supply.
(J201)
The USB interface is used for Uart data transmission. Need use FPC conecnt to M.2 module and J1401
connector. Communication via Tx\Rx to check log,

5 Operation Procedures
Illustration
This chapter introduces how to use the F03 EVB for testing and evaluation of F03 modules.
2. Insert a (U)SIM card into the (U)SIM card connector on EVB and connect the antennas to the
module.
3. Connect the EVB to a 12V power adapter or connect the EVB to PC via USB Micro-B cable.
4. Switch S101 (Power Switch) to ON state, then the D101 (Power ON/OFF indicator) will light up,
which indicates that the power supply for the EVB is ready. In such case, switch S103 (PWRKEY) to
ON state, the module will be powered on automatically and then D102 (WWAN_LED) will be light
up when RF function is enabled.
− Always ON − VBAT ON
D101
− Always OFF − VBAT OFF
− Always ON − RF function is enabled
D102
− Always OFF − RF function is disabled
− A call, SMS message or data is coming, the module is woken
− Always ON
D103 up
− Always OFF − The module is in idle or sleep mode

2. Connect the EVB and the PC with USB cable through USB Type-B interface, and then run the driver
disk on PC to install the USB driver. For details about USB driver installation.

3. Install and then use the CMCC Serial tools provided by CMCC to realize communication between
the module and the PC. The following figure shows the COM Port Setting field on QCOM: select
correct “COM Port” (USB AT Port which is shown in above figure) and set correct “Baudrate” (such
as 115200bps).

Press the button S102 (RESET) for 250ms~600ms for M.2 module then release it to reset the module.
However, this operation may cause the loss of information stored in the memory as the reset module
has been initialized.
The time for pressing the RESET button cannot exceed the maximum values, otherwise the
module will be powered off.
29
China Mobile IoT Co, Ltd.
Hardware shutdown: Switch the S103 to OFF state, the module will be powered off.
1. Remove R607.
Connect an external power supply to TP605 (Vbat) and D_GND (either of them) to supply power for
the module independently.
2. Power on the module according to the procedure mentioned in Chapter 5.1 and then test the
current consumption of the module.
