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.

3.2 (U)SIM Interface
An external SIM Card socket is assumed to be mounted on the system board. 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.

3.3 GNSS Interface
Some M.2 modules incorporate GPS and GLONASS receivers with aGPS to support
Global Positioning.
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 multibit 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.

3.4.2 Host Radio Disable Operation
An additional control signal is used to disable the radio on the module.
Signal W_DISABLE# is provided to allow users to disable, via a system-provided switch,
the add-in card’s radio operation in order to meet public safety regulations or when
otherwise desired. Implementation of this signal is required for systems and all add—in
cards that implement radio frequency capabilities.
The W_DISABLE1 signal is an active low signal that when driven low by the system shall
disable radio operation. The assertion and de-assertion of the W_DISABLE# signal is
asynchronous to any system clock. All transients resulting from mechanical switches need to
be de-bounced by the host system and no further signal conditioning will be required. When
the W_DISABLE# signal is asserted, all radios attached to the add-in card shall be disabled.
When the W_DISABLE# is not asserted or in a high impedance state, the radio may transmit
if not disabled by other means such as software.
The operation of the W_DISABLE# Signal is:

Radio disable duration
Detailed Description
On reception of a HW or SW disable signal, the WWAN module
will initiate within one second the mandatory cellular procedures
(which are dependent on current state) for disconnecting from
the cellular network. The time taken to complete the procedures
will be dependent on external factors including but not limited
to:
3G/4GPP specifications, network implementation, radio
conditions, etc. Once those procedures are complete, the WWAN
module will switch off the RF.
Radio enable duration
On reception of a hardware or software enable signal the
WWAN module will initiate within one second the mandatory
cellular procedures for connecting to the cellular network.
Radio enable during selective suspend
If radio is disabled due to W_DISABLE# assertion and WWAN
module is in selective suspend, then W_DISABLE# de-assertion
shall be detected by WWAN module and the module shall
initiate exit from selective suspend.
3.4.3 LED Interface – Status Indicator
An LED will be used to provide status indications to users via system provided
indicators.
LED#1 (pin 10) is an active low output signal intended to drive system-mounted LED

3.4.5 Dynamic Power Reduction
With the arrival of Tablets and Ultrabook™ platforms where the antenna is in the base of the
unit, there is a significant issue passing Specific Absorption rate (SAR) requirements for
certification.
The WWAN M.2 module has the ability to configure RF TX power levels based on
proximity sensor input from the host.
A WWAN M.2 power control API is available to the host to dynamically reduce RF
transmit power levels of the WWAN module based on proximity sensor input from the
host.
The DPR# (Dynamic Power Reduction) signal is available on the host interface to assist in
meeting regulatory SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) requirements for RF exposure.

3.5 Tunable Antenna Control Interface
In notebook platforms, since the WWAN antennas are usually located on the top of the lid,
there is a long RF mini-coax cable that can be up to 60 cm long between the antenna and
WWAN module, it is preferred to use switches/tunable components directly on the antenna
for antenna band switching/tuning to improve efficiency.
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 predefined 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.

3.6 In-Device Coexistence Interface
As more and more radios are added to PC Ultrabook™ and tablet platforms, the sources RF
interference increases significantly as multiple radios will have overlapping transmissions
and receptions. 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.

Seamless Co-running
In-Device-Coexistence primarily aims at avoiding interference between radio systems to
allow seamless co-running where LTE and WLAN/BT/GNSS ensuring their maximum
throughput and performance. 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

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 host software will also
be responsible for initializing the Real-Time mechanism.
The Real-Time mechanism consists of 3 GPIO signals which allow the synchronization of
multiple TX and RX events. The signals to support real Time coexistence are listed in Table
17.
If the coexistence signals are not used by the host system, they should not be
connected.

4.1.3 System Trace Tool
System Trace Tool (STT) allows capturing trace sub-streams from different sources on
the platform in one combined stream.
Depending on the trace interface bandwidth, the combined data stream can be sent either
over one of the standard communication interfaces (e.g. USB) or over a dedicated highspeed MIPI trace interface.
Captured trace data includes standard 3GPP IPC messages, print statements inserted by
developers in the code, error messages, and core dump (crash) information. The actual
decoding of the trace data is done by pluggable decoder libraries, DLL’s and scripts,
which are specific to the version of the mobile station software from which the trace is
captured.
The STT application has a GUI (Graphical User Interface) which provides an easy to use
graphical interface to view, search and analyze trace data. It supports advanced message
filtering runs on all Microsoft Windows® platforms.

In order to support both Windows® 8 and Windows® 7 (for corporate legacy applications),
with a single modem architecture, IMC will provide a kernel level driver implementing the
Mobile Broadband Interface Model. The driver will be WHQL certified for Windows® 7.
5.1.2 GNSS UMDF driver for Windows® 7 and Windows® 8
IMC provides a GNSS "User mode" driver to enable GNSS Applications executing on
Windows PC/Tablet to communicate to the GNSS device located on the M.2 module. The
driver communicates to Modem module via AT commands over an ACM-CDC USB
channel.
5.1.3 M.2 module Firmware Update
This is a “user friendly” Windows GUI application enabling the consumer, whose Ultrabook
or tablet is hosting an Intel M.2 module, to update the firmware on WWAN module by
executing a graphical application based on .NET4 framework. The same application runs on
both Windows® 7 and Windows® 8 environments and its look & feel can be customized if
required.
This same application is used to upgrade the standard image flashed at the factory with one
that better fits the local Carrier. When a new SIM is inserted, the application will detect the
inserted SIM does not match the WWAN device firmware. It will then allow the user to
select and update the WWAN firmware with a suitable image reflecting the local network of
the Carrier.

Modem Configuration on Linux Based PC
The following section describes the system architecture of Inter-Processor Communication
on a M.2 module when connected to a Linux based Host OS (Android, Chrome, and Ubuntu).
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 a r e Ar chit e ct ur e
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

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 HSUSB 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.

6.5 LPM
The host computer can set the modem into USB sleep (L1) state (to save battery power)
whenever the link is idle. 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.

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

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.
