M.2 Module Interface Details

This section provides details on the various interfaces available M.2 modules.

3.1 Interprocessor Interface (IPC)

There are two interfaces on the M.2 host interface that suppor t int erp roce sso r com m un ications (ICP); however, for the WWAN M.2 modules covered by the Product Description only the USB 2.0 High-speed port will be supported.

The other ICP interface, USB Super-speed Inter-Chip (USB_SSIC), is not supported and the signals should not be connected at the host.

The host processor, connected via an ICP interface, has access to the functions of the WWAN card.

3.1.1 USB 2.0 High-Speed – IPC Interface

The USB 2.0 High-speed interface supports the following device classe s: CDC-MBIM, CDCACM, 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

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 connected to SIM_DETECT on the WWAN M.2

module.

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.

3.2.1 SIM Design Recommendations

The following design guidelines are recommended for the SIM card socket mounted on the host system:

• Length of the traces UIM_CLK, UIM_DATA, and UIM_RESET should not exceed

10 cm.

• UIM_DATA is a sensitive open-drain bi-directional signal. It should not be mounted

beside the UIM_CLK signal for long distances. It is recommended to place the UIM_RST trace between UIM_DATA and UIM_CLK to provide isolation. If the traces are run a long distance, surround the UIM_DATA with ground to shield from system noise and UIM_CLK.

• The rise time for UIM_DATA should not exceed 1 µs per the 3GPP specification.

High input capacitance may increase rise time and lead to certification failure.

o Keep UIM traces with low capacitance between each other and to GND o An ESD component with high capacitance may increase rise time.

LN930 M.2 Hardware User Guide

1VV0301078 Rev.10 – 2015-11-11

o The pull-up current cannot be increased to speed up rise time, because the

pull-up current must not exceed 1 mA including any crosstalk.

o Pull-up current is defined by the 4.7 kΩ pull-up resistor (to USIM_PWR) on

the WWAN M.2 module, plus 200 µA from the baseband chip is approximately 0.8 mA.

• Place a decoupling capacitor close to the SIM card socket.

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 acc uracy. 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.

GNSS General Features

• Autonomous GPS / GLONASS

• Assisted GPS Using SUPL 1.0/2.0

• MS Assisted positioning ( SET / NET Initiated )

• MS Based positioning ( SET / NET Initiated )

• SUPL 2.0 Feature Sets

• Version Negotiation

• Periodic Triggers

• Emergency Positioning

• Area Event Triggers (SET Init & NET Init)

• Application ID

• Enhanced Cell Id

• Multiple Location IDs

•

Session Info Query

• Location Transfer to 3rd Party

• Notification Verification Based on Current Location

• Location Request to another SET

A diagram of the GNSS connections on the M.2 module is shown in Figure 6. This diagram identifies the signals between the X-GOLD™ baseband and GNSS devices along with the USB and GNSS signals available to the host at the card interface.

3.4.2 Host Radio Disable Operation

An additional control signal is used to disable the radio on the module.

LN930 M.2 Hardware User Guide

1VV0301078 Rev.10 – 2015-11-11

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: Enable, ON (3.3V): The radio transmitter is to be made capable of transmitting.

Disable, OFF (low): The radio transmitter(s) is to be made incapable of transmitting. Standard TTL signaling levels shall be used making it compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V

signaling. W_DISABLE# pin has a pull-up resistor on the M.2 module.

Requirement

Detailed Description

Radio disable duration

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 indicators. These signals shall be capable of sinking to ground a minimum of 9.0 mA at up to a maximum VOL of 400 mV.

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. The signal is provided by a host system proximity sensor to the WWAN module to provide an input trigger causing a reduction in the radio transmit output power. In conjunction with the DPR signal, a full power control API is available to the host to adjust the RF transmit power level of the WWAN module. DPR pin has a pull-up resistor on the WWAN M.2 module.

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 m aximizes 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 L TE, WLA N, BT and GNSS information and performs interference avoidance mechanisms, selecting interference-safe frequen cy config urat ion s whenev er p ossible. The NRT coexistence controller is also in charge of enabling some Real Time (RT) coexistence mechanisms when

LN930 M.2 Hardware User Guide

1VV0301078 Rev.10 – 2015-11-11

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 receiv ed 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 signific ant l y .

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

18. 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.

STT will become the only tool for trace analysis in the future, the legacy trace tools, Mobile Analyser and Artemis, will be continue to be supported for the 2G/3G WWAN M.2 HSPA+ module.

5.1.1 Windows® 7 MBIM driver

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 is 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 U ltrabook 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.

5.1.4 End User Trace Tool

This is a Windows® 8 application allows a M.2 end user to collect debugging information under guidance of a Customer Support operator.

Linux/Chrome Software Architecture

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 14

illustrates the architecture of the IPC and its components.

Figure 14 Linux Software Architecture

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

LN930 M.2 Hardware User Guide

1VV0301078 Rev.10 – 2015-11-11

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 mode

l) 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 chann

els.

6.3 USB 2.0 HS Features

The USB 2.0 HS stack is used for communication with a PC in device role. Additional details on the USB interface can be found in Section 3.1, Interprocessor Interface.

6.4 USB Configuration

The USB feature may be configured by the UTA_USB API. The user may define different use cases, such as support of different numbers of CDC-ACM or CDC-NCM channels.

6.4.1 Modem Connection

Up to 3 CDC-ACM logical channels are available to be used as an interface for the following functionality:

• AT commands

•

3GPP 27.010 Multiplexer

• Tracing

• Connection to test framework

The ACM channels are connected via UTA-Terminal to S-IO and from there via UTASerial to the application on modem side.

6.4.2 Network Connection

Up to 4 CDC-NCM functions are available to be used as interface for network connections servicing for up to four PDN connections.

The NCM channels are connected via the PBM driver interface to PBM and from there via PBM service interfaces to the PTM component of C-PS.

6.4.3 Default Configuration

The default configuration is 3 CDC-ACM channels for control and trace and 4 CDC– NCM channels for data connections. A specific configuration is set via the AT+XSIO command. The detailed usage of the default configuration is:

• 1st ACM channel:: Modem Control Channel, Channel ID: USBCDC/0

• 2nd ACM channel:: Trace data, Channel ID: USBCDC/1

• 3rd ACM channel:: free, Channel ID: USBCDC/2

1VV0301078 Rev.10 – 2015-11-11

• 1st - 4th NCM channel: data channel for PDN connection: Channel ID:

USBHS/NCM/0-3

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 states.

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

6.5.2 Android Software Components

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 ope

rating 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

LN930 M.2 Hardware User Guide

1VV0301078 Rev.10 – 2015-11-11

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.
