4.EVALUATION MODULE

The Nokia M2M ADK includes an evaluation module, which is an example HW for the embedded application module. One of the example applications in the Nokia M2M ADK can be used to control evaluation module digital and analog inputs and outputs, see Chapter 7. In addition to these inputs and outputs, the evaluation module has interfaces for standard RS-232, SW downloading and tracing.

4.1 INTERFACES

4.1.1 M2M system interface

The preferable interface between the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal and the application module is the M2M system connector. A 50 pin female M2M system connector in the evaluation module supports CORBA messaging, power input and an output digital audio interface (external audio codec is required).

The M2M system connector offers an open interface for application developers and effective and reliable methods for controlling the terminal and the application.
