xN930 M.2 Hardware User Guide 1VV0301078 Rev.6 – 2013-11-12 3 M.2 Module Interface Details This section provides details on the various interfaces available M.2 modules. 3.1 USB 2.0 High-Speed – IPC Interface The host processor, connected via a USB 2.0 High-speed interface, has access to the functions of the WWAN card. The USB port is the interprocessor communications interface with the host system. The device classes supported are: CDC-MBIM, CDC-ACM, and CDC-NCM. The USB Controller is compliant to the USB 2.0 Specification and with the Link Power Management (LPM) Addendum. LPM introduces a new sleep state (L1) which significantly reduces the transitional latencies between the defined power states; hence, improving the responsiveness of the WWAN platform regarding connecting to the internet (Quick Connect). • USB2.0 LPM L1 Support • Support for OS assisted fast dormancy • Selective Suspend support • Very low power when in Selective Suspend: <4mw when connected to network (wake), <1 mW no wake It supports High-speed (HS, 480 MBit/s); Full-speed (FS, 12 MBit/s) transfers. Low- speed mode is not supported. Because there is not a separate USB-controlled voltage bus, USB functions implemented on the M.2 module are expected to report as self-powered devices General Features • In device mode : High-speed (480 MBit/s) and Full-speed (12 MBit/s) • In host mode: High-speed (480 MBit/s), Full-speed (12 MBit/s). Low-speed mode (1.5 Mbit/s) is not supported. • Support for 16 bidirectional end points and channels including the end point 0.

The M.2 module will access the SIM card through its USIM interface. The USIM interface is compatible with the ISO 7816-3 IC Card standard on the issues required by the GSM 11.12 and GSM 11.18 standard. Both 1.8 V and 3 V SIM Cards are supported. A few comments on the SIM_DETECT signal 1. An external pull-up resistor is not needed on SIM_DETECT. An internal pull-up resistor on X-GOLD™ baseband IC will be used. 2. When a SIM is inserted, SIM_DETECT will be high. 3. When a SIM is removed or not present, SIM_DETECT will be low. 4. The host does not need to drive this signal. It can be tri-stated.

For M.2 modules that feature GNSS support, see Table 1, the M.2 module incorporates the CG1960 Single-Chip GNSS Device, which is a complete receiver for simultaneous reception and processing of both GPS and GLONASS signals. It includes LNA, mixer, bandpass filter, VCO, ALC, fractional-N frequency synthesizer, digital tunable filters, PGA stage, and multi-bit ADCs. A UART interface is used by the X-GOLD™ Communications Processor on the M.2 module to control the GNSS device. The solution offers best-in-class acquisition and tracking sensitivity, TFF and accuracy. The GNSS device supports several different power management modes which gives the lowest possible energy usage per fix. The pre-calculated location data will be sent over the USB host interface. In addition, the M.2 will produce GPS data when the system is in sleep mode via an I2C interface to allow for applications to be available in low power modes.

On select WWAN M.2 modules, four (4) GPOs are available on the host interface that can be connected to an external antenna switch, to load the antenna with different impedances, configuring the different frequency responses for the main antenna. A sample block diagram depicting the antenna control signal connections to the antenna switch is shown in Figure 8 Intel’s current antenna control solution offers an open loop control solution. The WWAN M.2 modem expects the AP to provide the antenna profile detection and through a pre-defined API, notify the WWAN M.2 modem with the correct antenna profile. The WWAN M.2 modem then applies the proper antenna profile data accordingly.

This problem will increase further as overlapping bands continue to be rolled out; WIFI, BT, WWAN will all use overlapping band from 2300 MHz to 2600 MHz. In-Device Coexistence is a feature which improves the user experience and maximizes throughput and Quality of Service of connectivity systems (WLAN, BT and GNSS) when these radios are simultaneously running with the WWAN M.2 LTE modem. A diagram of the In-Device Coexistence architecture is shown in Figure 6.

To do so, a Non Real Time (NRT) coexistence controller is implemented on the ARM™ CPU. The NRT coexistence controller centralizes LTE, WLAN, BT and GNSS information and performs interference avoidance mechanisms, selecting interference-safe frequency configurations whenever possible. The NRT coexistence controller is also in charge of enabling some Real Time (RT) coexistence mechanisms when Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved.

xN930 M.2 Hardware User Guide 1VV0301078 Rev.6 – 2013-11-12 NRT mechanisms are not sufficient to guarantee seamless co-running of LTE and connectivity systems (WLAN, BT, and GNSS). Inter-system Synchronization For the cases where co-running of LTE and connectivity systems cannot be achieved, a Real Time (RT) coexistence controller is implemented in the LTE Layer-1 subsystem. The RT coexistence controller is in control of the RT coexistence interface, which is exposed to the connectivity chip. The RT coexistence controller exploits real time information received from the LTE Layer-1 subsystem and from the connectivity chip to coordinate LTE and connectivity “in the air” activities. The coordination function protects LTE traffic while optimizing the throughput and availability of WLAN/BT/GNSS. When operating in this mode, the connectivity systems have reduced capability since they access the medium when LTE is inactive, or when their respective operations do not impact each other significantly. The Non Real-Time mechanism implements a messaging based interface, formatted as AT commands that are passed to the AP host over the IPC interface (USB). A simple piece of SW residing on the AP host will tunnel the Non Real-Time messages between the BT/WLAN device and M.2 module, translate AT commands to/from the BT/WLAN driver commands, and maintain the states of the BT/ WLAN and M.2 LTE modem.

The description is only concerned with the HS-USB port which is the only available functional interprocessor communications (IPC) interface at run-time and takes into account only the AT control plane and IP packets data connection. Audio packet exchange is outside the scope of the current version of M.2. 6.1 Overview Figure 13 illustrates the architecture of the IPC and its components. Figur e 1 3 Linux Soft w are Ar chit e ct u re The user data is transferred from/to the cellular protocol stack (C-PS) to the IPC via a centralized memory manager. The centralized memory manager is called packet buffer manager (PBM). The user data is routed along the data plane as IP packets using several Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved. Page 51 of 77
xN930 M.2 Hardware User Guide 1VV0301078 Rev.6 – 2013-11-12 logical channels. Each logical channel corresponds to a dedicated Packet Data Network (PDN) connection. There is no TCP/IP stack on the modem side in the data path from IPC over PBM to C-PS handling IP address based routing. The central packet buffer manager (PBM) provides a common packet buffer used between IPC and PS. No copy operation of data is necessary between cellular PS and IPC. The HS-USB interface provides a highly efficient data path via DMA with scatter/gather linked-list processing. The control plane is using at least one dedicated channel through Serial IO component (S-IO) to the AT command handler. The interface towards the driver is called Universal Terminal Adapter (UTA)-Terminal, while the interface towards application is called UTA-Serial interface. The application in our case is the AT command handler called C-AT. The control channel is using AT commands. A detailed list of all supported AT commands can be found in a separate application note. 6.2 CMUX Multiplexer In the context of an AT command based architecture, a SW multiplexer can be added. The SW multiplexer of the 3GPP 27.010 protocol provides a number of logical channels (DLC) which serve as AT terminals on Host PC side. These logical channels are mapped on-top of one of the control channels of the specific physical IPC interface. The 3GPP 27.010 multiplexer protocol is a data link protocol (layer-2 of the OSI model) which uses HDLC-like framing, virtual data channels, and channels’ control procedure. The protocol is implemented according to 3GPP TS27.010. It allows software applications on the Host processor to access the USB-HS port on M.2 in a concurrent way by emulating multiple virtual communication channels. The MUX protocol controls the virtual channels and conveys user data over the virtual channels.

To return from sleep state the host computer performs L1Resume. This can also be triggered by the modem using L1-Remote- Wake-up. The sleep (L1) state is introduced by “USB 2.0 Link Power Management Addendum” and allows fast state transitions between active and sleep. 6.5.1 Suspend/Resume and Remote Wake-up The PC can set the modem into USB suspend state (to save battery power) when no communication takes place or when the PC is switched into standby mode. The suspend state also can be triggered by X-GOLD™ Baseband device through a proprietary device initiated selective suspend mechanism. The wake up is performed by Host Resume. The modem can wake up the host computer from standby state using Remote Wake-up. Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved.

xN930 M.2 Hardware User Guide 1VV0301078 Rev.6 – 2013-11-12 9 Other Information 9.1 EMI/EMC and Platform Noise The M.2 Data Card has shielding and noise filtering in place to ensure that the WWAN module does not impact the operation of the host system. The M.2 Data Card must also be able to tolerate platform noise caused by high order clock harmonics from the host processor and associated support circuitry. It is required that the noise levels (as measured at the antenna connector) in the operating frequencies of the M.2 Data Card be no greater than 5 dB as compared to the noise floor of the host system. 9.2 Platform Noise Mitigation - Adaptive Clocking Wireless subsystems in mobile platforms are affected by platform related noise, even with the best antenna and chassis design. This noise hampers the wireless radio performance, sometimes severely. For platforms that incorporate wireless subsystems like WWAN, passing the wireless operator certification is an important component of platform launch. One of the key elements of platform noise, commonly referred to as RF interference, is LCD display panel pixel clock and its harmonics. The pixel clock generates RF that translates directly into noise picked up by platform wireless radios due to the close proximity of display electronics and the integrated antennas in the system. Many of the panel vendors allow the pixel clock to be “tweaked” (i.e. adapt the pixel clock) to shift the harmonics from interfering with the wireless components in operating radio frequencies. A radio’s receive performance could be improved by moving any harmonics of the graphics pixel clock outside of the frequencies used by the wireless modules. This will be accomplished by shifting the display pixel clock. Shifting the pixel clock is not expected to affect the graphics quality or its performance. The display panel refresh rate will not be changed. To support crosstalk mitigation, the WWAN module provides an event indication to the host when the channel frequency changes. On the event indication, the host would use the frequency change information (i.e. Center Frequency, Bandwidth, and any other optional information) through an API that would facilitate the facilitating the implementation of a noise mitigation service. 9.3 Thermal Monitoring Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved.

xN930 M.2 Hardware User Guide 1VV0301078 Rev.6 – 2013-11-12 The M.2 Data Card includes a digital thermal sensor in order to monitor the temperature of the WWAN Card. The firmware will support the extraction of temperature information from the module and the configuration of auxiliary trip points. The configuration of the thermal trip points and receipt of thermal data is available through a WWAN power control API in order for the host to implement a power and thermal management framework for the system. 9.4 Seamless Roaming / Wifi Offload The WWAN M.2 module provides support for EAP methods; EAP-SIM, EAP-AKA, and EAP-AKA’. These methods, which are used on WiFi authentication, require access to WWAN SIM credentials to connect to WiFi Networks and offload from WWAN. All necessary AT commends needed for the EAP-SIM functionality are supported. In addition, all necessary commands need for the PIN entry, change, and lock/unlock are supported. Through the API, the host can manage Wi-Fi Hotspot connectivity with Operator provisioned Hotspot SSIDs and/or End-User provided SSIDs and seamlessly offload a data session from a 3G/4G connection to Wi-Fi hotspot connection after successful authentication of the device and authorization of the end-user subscription using the SIM on the platform. 9.5 Conducted Transmit Power Transmit power as measure at the WWAN antenna connector, in W-CDMA power class 3.
