Smart Machine Smart Decision SIM5360A EVB User Guide 03.18.2014 124.4 Antenna Interface Figure 6: Main and diversity Antenna connector Figure 7:GPS Antenna connector SIMCom strongly recommends additional matching components between the antenna and the RF output of SIM5360 RF PAD (Main: pin 59; Diversity: PIN 82; GPS: pin 79;) for the application including an antenna. Topology is a PI structure plus a serial element; components assume to be capacitors or inductors depending on the antenna matching. But if the pad is 50 Ohms and is connected to 50 Ohms load, the matching circuitry is not needed. The RF connection should be short enough to minimize losses and must have a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms until F ≥ 2 GHz. SIMCom strongly recommends the micro strip line can be used.

Figure 16: EVB and accessory equipment 6 Quickly start 6.1 Running There are two ways to provide power supply to SIM5360 module: one is to use the 5V power supply provided in the EVB kit; the other is to use USB port of personal computer. (1) When user use the power supply, if user insert 5V DC source adapter, user should connect ADAPTER_VBAT pin and VBAT pin on the EVB board; then insert a valued SIM card and check if the antenna is connected, and make sure that RF control switch is set to ON; finally press the on/off switch for about 1 second, and then SIM5360 module will begin running. (2) Another option is to use USB port of Computer as power supply. To do so, user need to connect USB_VBAT pin and VBAT pin on the EVB board, and make sure that RF control switch is set to ON. Firstly insert the sim card and connect the antenna, then connect the PC with USB-to-USB cable and press the Power_ON button for one second, then SIM5360 will start running.
Smart Machine Smart Decision SIM5360A EVB User Guide 03.18.2014 21 User can see the light on the EVB flashing at a certain frequency about 1.25Hz. By the state, user can judge whether the EVB and SIM5360 is running or not. No function and test can be executed if user has not connected necessary accessories. NOTE: This EVB board supports USB power supply when user connects USB_VBAT and VBAT together. 6.2 Installing Driver There are 3 ways to connect the module to user’s computer and communicate via HyperTerminal: (1) Using USB-TO-USB cable; (2) Using UART-TO-USB cable; (3) Using UART-TO-UART cable. In the first case, user need install the module USB driver, which can be got from our FAE or sales; For the UART to USB driver, user may get it from the CD in the EVB kit; If user use UART to UART cable, there are certain points to be noticed. One can use UART to UART cable in EVB kit, if the customers want to use their own UART to UART cable, please make sure that the pin sequences of it is same as those of cable in EVB kit, pin sequences of which are shown in Figure 9. 6.3 Connecting Net and calling Once user installs the driver, user can follow steps below to connect to Network. (1) When user use a UART-UART cable, user need to connect the serial port line to the serial port, open the HyperTerminal (AT command windows) on user’s Personal computer. The location of the HyperTerminal in windows2000/XP/Vista can be found from START→accessory→ communication→HyperTerminal. Please set the correct Baud Rate and COM port number, the Baud Rate of SIM5360 is 115200, and the COM port number is based on which UART port user’s serial port line is inserted, user should select the port such as COM1 or COM2 etc. (2) Connect the antenna to the SIM5360 module using an antenna transmit line, insert SIM card into the SIM card holder, and insert handset into its sockets. (3) Follow the steps of running which has been mentioned above in Sector 5.1, power on the system, type the AT command from the HyperTerminal, and then the SIM5360 module will execute its corresponding function. For example, if user type “AT”, then it should respond “OK”; if user type “ATI”, it should display product identification information. (4) If user want to use USB to USB cable, user need to connect the cable to USB port of the module and the computer, then follow step 1~3.
Smart Machine Smart Decision SIM5360A EVB User Guide 03.18.2014 22(5) If user use UART to USB cable, user need to connect the cable to module serial port and the USB port of the computer, then follow step 1~3. 6.4 Downloading Connect the USB port line to the USB port, connect the direct current source adapter, run the download program, and choose the correct image, please follow the QDL downloading menu for the operation. Update procedure is described in the figure below. Figure 17: USB interface update procedure 6.5 Turning off Press the POWER_ON for about 1 second, SIM5360 module will be turned off. NOTE: If user uses USB to power on the module, just disconnect the USB cable to turn off. START Module power on Connect module USB slot and PC by USB cable Install module driver on windows OS. Close all app software which use USB virtual ports Double click QDL.exe, update beginWaiting until download finish, QDL quit out automatically Update success Copy new firmware into QDL data folder
