Introduction

NB-IoT HAT for Raspberry Pi, Based on SIM7020E Template:Amazon

User Manual

Overview

This is an NB-IoT (NarrowBand-Internet of Things) HAT for Raspberry Pi, controlled via serial AT commands, supports communication protocols like LWM2M/COAP/MQTT, etc. Due to the advantages of low delay, low power, low cost, and wide coverage, it is the ideal choice for IoT applications such as intelligent instruments, asset tracking, remote monitoring, and so on.

Features

  • Raspberry Pi connectivity, compatible with any revision
  • Supports communication protocols such as LWM2M/COAP/MQTT/TCP/UDP/HTTP/HTTPS, etc.
  • Onboard USB interface, for power supply OR debugging
  • Breakout UART control pins, to connect with host boards like Arduino/STM32
  • Onboard voltage translator, 3.3V by default, allows to be switched to 5V via onboard jumper
  • SIM card slot, supports NB-IoT specific card
  • 2x LED indicators, easy to monitor the working status
  • Baudrate: 300bps~921600bps (115200bps by default)
  • Control via AT commands (V.25TER, 3GPP TS 27.007, and SIMCOM AT Commands)
  • Comes with development resources and manual (examples for Raspberry Pi/Arduino/STM32/Python)

Working with Raspberry Pi

SIM7020X NB-IoT HAT is compatible with Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO, can directly plug to most types of Raspberry Pi. The used pins are as below:

SIM7020X-Connect.jpg
SIM7020X NB-IoT HAT Raspberry Pi
5V 5V
GND GND
RXD TXD (BCM:P14)
TXD RXD(BCM: P15)
PWR P7 (BCM: P4)

Software Setting

PWR is default shorted with P4 by jumpers. You need to initialize corresponding pins for properly working.

SIM7020X-NB-IoT-HAT-20.png
  • Download demo code, copy SIM7020x folder to /home/pi/ of your Raspberry Pi
  • Open Terminal, and execute:chmod 777 sim7020_nbiot_hat_init
  • Set script auto-executing:
    • Modify rc.local file:sudo nano /etc/rc.local
    • Add the line in front of exit 1 as belowsh /home/pi/SIM7020X/sim7020_nbiot_hat_init

Serial Setting

To work with Raspberry Pi, you need to enable hardware serial and disable serial login shell function.

  • Enter raspi-configure sudo raspi-config
  • Choose Interfacing Options->Serial->no->yes
  • Open /boot/config.txt file, check if the line was added: enable_uart=1
  • Reboot

Testing with minicom

minicom debugging

Connect SIM7020 to Raspbery Pi, install minicom to your Raspberry Pi: sudo apt-get install minicom Execute minicom -D /dev/ttyS0 to enter the minicom (ttyS0: Pi 3B/3B+, ttyAMA0: Zero/2B) Demo codes

Download demo codes. Rename bcm2835 folder to SIM7020X and copy it to /home/pi of Raspberry Pi 【Install BCM2835 libraries】 Enter SIM7020X/bcm2835 directory, install the libraries with commands: chmod +x configure && ./configure && sudo make check && sudo make install 【Compile and run】 The files tree: SIM7020X-Demo-Code-intro.jpg cd /home/pi/SIM7020X/examples/AT sudo make clean && sudo make && sudo ./main Expectre result: File:SIM7020-RPI-AT-TEST.png|AT File:SIM7020C-TCP-TEST.jpg|TCP File:SIM7020C-UDP-TEST.jpg|UDP
