2. OVERVIEW

Rapid IoT Developmet Kit is a system that reduces the length of IoT prototyping cycles from

a matter weeks or months to mere hours - all by capitalizing on the combination of

embedded IoT software and hardware, designed to provide the complete development

environment to the user and intended to be used with add-on boards (Raspberry Pi, Arduino

and TI Launchpad). The aim of this document is the description of the Development Kit

hardware solution along with the interface of add-on boards being useful for developing an

IoT hardware prototyping as fast as possible.

NOTE:

(EN) The combination of the EVK4 with the add-on boards shall be

done according to the configuration described in this manual.

The information presented in this document is believed to be accurate and reliable.

However, no responsibility is assumed by Telit Communications S.p.A. for its use, nor any

infringement of patents or other rights of third parties which may result from its use. No

license is granted by implication or otherwise under any patent rights of Telit

Communications S.p.A. other than for circuitry embodied in Telit products. This document

is subject to change without notice.

NOTE:

1. The Operating Voltage Range MUST never be exceeded. If the voltage

drop is exceeding the limits it could cause a Power Off to the cellular

module.

2. The EVK4 can source power to the add-on boards in Booster pack mode

(4.1V) mainly for portable applications with the battery.

Telit EVK4 HW User Guide\

0805 Rev. 6 Page 15 of 49 2017-05-19

NOTE:

(*) Is strongly recommended power the EVK4-LE910 V1/V2 product variant

through an USB3.0 port instead of USB2.0 to avoid unexpected reset issues

of the entire system.

5. ADD-ON BOARDS

The EVK4 supports three types of add-on boards: TI Launchpads, Raspberry Pi and

Arduino boards. The header connectors for the add-on boards are available on both sides

of the EVK4 allowing a stackable configuration.

The add-on boards must be inserted carefully to match the position of the EVK4 connectors,

making sure that the pin headers are vertically aligned upon among connectors upon

insertion.

Texas Instruments Launchpad

A variety of Booster Pack plug-in modules are supported through the 40-pin headers (P801

and P802). For more information about the standard and specific pinout of every Launchpad

circuit board go to: http://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/tools-software/launchpads/launchpads.page

http://www.ti.com/lit/ml/slat157/slat157.pdf

Figure 5-3 Double-stacked configuration on top

Raspberry Pi2 / Pi3

Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+, Pi 2 Model B, B+ and Pi 3 Model B are supported through the

40-pin header (PL901).

Figure 5-4 EVK4 + Raspberry Pi 2

Figure 5-5 RPi board insertion

Figure 5-6 2x USB-A ports*

NOTE:

1. (*) Remove the standoff H1 to have access to the 2x USB-A ports that

are on the right side of the Raspberry Pi board.

2. The Raspberry Pi 1 Model A and B are also supported since the pinout

of the first 26 GPIO pins is the same than the 40-pin header, however an

extender ribbon cable would be needed to avoid any mechanical

interference with the Raspberry Pi audio connectors.

Telit EVK4 HW User Guide\

0805 Rev. 6 Page 18 of 49 2017-05-19

Arduino

A variety of Arduino boards and shields are supported (32 pin and 86 pin configuration)

through the ‘c’ headers (PL1001~PL1007). The Arduino boards (8-bit and 32-bit) are usually

inserted from the bottom of the EVK4 board whereas the Arduino shields are inserted on

top.

For more information about the standard and specific pinout of every Arduino board type go

to: http://www.arduino.org/products/boards

Figure 5-7 Arduino stacked on bottom

Figure 5-8 Stacked on top and bottom

5.3.1. Arduino UNO Form Factor Boards

Be careful upon inserting the small Arduino boards like the UNO or Zero since there is a

mechanical issue with the P801 header due to the height of some components like with the

Arduino UNO where the Microcontroller (DIP package) physically interfere with the board

placement, therefore an extension headers must be used together with this type of boards.

Telit EVK4 HW User Guide\

0805 Rev. 6 Page 19 of 49 2017-05-19

Figure 5-9 Mechanical issue with P1 Header

The EVK4 product box contains an Arduino header kit (3x8 and 1x10 pin header extensions)

to extend the pin length. Please insert the set of headers before connect the board as shown

in the below pictures.

Figure 5-11 Arduino UNO stacked

Figure 5-12 Functional solution - Arduino UNO

NOTE:

Each add-on board has its own GPIO configuration, thus make sure to

perform a proper setup along with the correct jumper placement to

avoid a malfunctioning of the system.
