Description

Method for starting up and awakening communication module through serial port
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of communication modules, in particular to a method for starting up and awakening a communication module through a serial port.
Background
Under the large background of the internet of everything, various internet of things terminals using wireless communication modules such as 2G, 3G, 4G, NB and the like as data transmission means are developed vigorously. The circuit core module of a general internet of things terminal is an MCU for realizing practical application and a communication module for realizing a wireless communication function, the MCU controls the communication module through a UART interface and an IO interface, wherein the UART interface is used for carrying out AT command and data communication, and the IO interface generally mainly comprises a starting control pin and a wake-up pin.
After the power-on of the wireless communication module, the power-on control pin needs to be pulled down for a short time to complete the power-on action, and then the power-on control pin needs to be pulled up again to keep the normal working state. If the power-on pin is pulled down for a long time, the module will be powered off or restarted. Take NB-IoT module L620C as an example (as shown in fig. 2): a30 th PIN (PWRKEY) of the module is a hardware starting input end, when the module is powered on, the module can be released after being pulled down for 300 ms-1 s, so that the module is started, a PIN30(PWRKEY) of the module is pulled down for 8 s-11 s to trigger the module to be shut down, and the shutdown process can be completed within 1 s. Pulling PWRKEY low while the module is in deep sleep (deep sleep) mode may cause the module to exit deep sleep mode. The module 3 rd pin (RTC _ EINT) is a wake-up pin, and when a user needs the module to exit the deep sleep mode, a low level lasting 80ms is input to the pin to trigger module wake-up. Therefore, 3-4 signal lines are generally required between the MCU and the communication module under this condition.
However, in some circuits of the internet of things terminal, the IO port resources of the MCU are very tight, and pins for starting up and waking up the module cannot be provided; in addition, in some application occasions, the MCU control module and the wireless communication module communicate in a long distance in a UART-RS232-UART mode, so that the IO ports for starting and waking up are inconvenient to convert into long-distance cables. Under the application scenes, a method for realizing the startup and awakening actions of the MCU on the wireless communication module through the serial port is really needed, the wireless communication module can be prevented from being shut down due to some unexpected conditions, and the wireless communication module can be started up protectively during the next communication.

Preferably: the MCU and the L620C finish communication, after a period of time, the L620C enters deep sleep, the L620C _ GPIO is closed to be in a floating state, the PR pin of the D trigger is pulled down to be in a low level, the state returns to the step one, and the MCU can generate the low level on the Q pin through the rising edge on the TX to start up/wake up the L620.
