- Integrate rich network protocols, support multiple drivers and software functions, and support operating systems such as Windows, Linux, and Android.
- Onboard USB 3.1 interface, backward compatible with USB 2.0, can be used to connect to a computer, Raspberry Pi, or Jetson Nano for high-speed LTE-A Internet access.
- Onboard M.2 B KEY standard interface, compatible with optional EM06-E, EM06-J, and EM06-A series modules.
- On-board PWR and RST control pins, which can be enabled through DIP switches, and external IO ports to control the module on/off and reset.
- On-board USB Type-C interface, which can be enabled by the switch, can be used for external power supply to supply power to the module separately, so as to connect more loads, the power supply is stable and flexible.
- On-board power switch, reset button, and LED indicator light, which is convenient for the control module to switch on and off and check the running status.
- There are 4 channels of SMA to IPEX antenna conversion interface reserved, and 2 channels are welded by default when shipped. The antenna is easy to install, and the position of the SMA antenna can be flexibly customized and replaced.
- On-board high-efficiency power circuit that can output up to 3A.

Windows Instruction
Install Driver
- After connecting the EM06-E LTE Cat-6 HAT to the computer through a double-ended usb3.0 data cable, there are a series of devices without drivers installed on other devices.
- Download the driver [1]to your computer and unzip the compressed package.
- Enter the RM500U_Driver directory.
- Click setup.exe to install the driver. After the installation is complete, the device manager will generate the following devices:
MBIM Dial-up
- Open the AT port of EM06-E and send the following commands to dial up the Internet:
AT+QENG="servingcell" AT+QCFG="usbnet",2 AT+CFUN=1,1
- After dialing and restarting, the corresponding network card appears on the network connection interface, and the dialing is successful.
User Guides of Raspberry Pi
RNDIS Dail-up
- Connect the USB port of EM06-E LTE Cat-6 HAT to the USB port of Raspberry Pi, and then execute the command to see if the device and ttyUSB2 can be recognized normally.
- Open minicom.
sudo apt-get install minicom sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2
- Send the following command RNDIS dial in minicom.
AT+QENG="servingcell" AT+QCFG="usbnet",1 AT+CFUN=1,1
- After the module restarts, the NET light is on, use the following command to check the network status (optional).
AT+QENG="servingcell"
- Get the IP and set the DNS with the following commands:
sudo dhclient -v usb0 sudo apt-get install udhcpc sudo udhcpc -i usb0 sudo route add -net 0.0.0.0 usb0
- After dialing, you can see that usb0 has obtained the IP by using the following command:
Ifconfig
- Test usb0 networking status:
ping -I usb0 www.baidu.com
GNSS Example
AT command to obtain positioning information
- Install Minicom and open the ttyUSB2 port.

- Send the following command through minicom to turn on GNSS and obtain positioning information.
AT+QGPS=1 AT+QGPSGNMEA="GGA"
- Open the ttyUSB1 port (NMEA port) to receive satellite data.
sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2
- Close GNSS.
AT+QGPSEND
Program to obtain positioning information

Answer:
RM500U-CN: based on Zhanrui
RM500Q-GL: based on the Qualcomm platform, supports GNSS positioning, mainly for China
RM500q-AE/RM502Q-AE: based on the Qualcomm platform, supports GNSS positioning, mainly for countries except for China.

Answer:
The 5G module requires a lot of power, especially at the moment of network access; the power supply capacity of the Raspberry Pi is limited, and the 5V (3A) power supply can be connected to the onboard TYPE-C interface.

Answer:
When using the external power supply, RM500U does not reboot after rebooting the Raspberry Pi, you can use the commands to restart RM500U.

Answer:
As shown below:
AT+QCFG="usbnet",0 driver type is NDIS(QMI)); AT+QCFG="usbnet",1 The driver type is ECM; AT+QCFG="usbnet",2 The driver type is MBIM; (RM5XXQ support) AT+QCFG="usbnet",3 The driver type is RNDIS AT+QCFG="usbnet",5 The driver type is NCM;

Answer:
Raspberry Pi 2B/zero, with user serial device number ttyAMA0;
ls -l /dev/serial*
You can confirm that serial0 is the selected serial device number with the following command line, as follows:

Answer:
The USB power supply capability of the Raspberry Pi is worse than that of the computer. It needs to be connected to an external power supply. Please set the switch to EXT PWR, and connect the HAT interface to a 5V 3A power supply:
