The Telit EVK2 is a tool for:
- Developing applications based on current
and future Telit GSM/GPRS, UMTS/HSDPA, and CDMA module families via AT commands through serial ports
- Programming and updating of all
Telit modules
- Debugging Telit-module-based applications
- Implementing simple applications
(stand alone function) by executing scripts using a Python interpreter equipped module without the need fo an external microprocessor
RS-232 / USB 1.1 serial ports
The communication between the application and the Telit module is done through Asynchronous Serial Interfaces board as a double stacked standard DB9 connector providing two serial communication ports (RS-232 up to 115 Kbps). Alternatively, this communication can be done through a CMOS HUB, which provides two-way communication compliant to USB 1.1 specifications at higher data rates (up to 1,5 Mbps). The USB connection is provided through a USB-A USB-B cable. Serial port selection is made through configuration of jumpers on the motherboard.
Power supply inputs
The EVK2 is equipped with different power supply inputs enabling its use it in the following environments:
- Automotive setup:
5 to 40 Volt supply
- Laboratory setup:
+ 3.8 Volt fixed supply
- Portable setup:
Rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack

General purpose inputs / outputs
With the EVK2, all general purpose inputs/outputs are made accessible on the adapter boards by a set of pins on the PTH-type connector. This allows developers to build their own interface boards best suited for their requirements, e.g. custom connectors, cables, relays, LEDs, etc.
