This section describes the Pinnacle™100 development board hardware. The Pinnacle™100 development board is delivered
with the Pinnacle™100 series modem loaded with Zephyr Out of Box (OOB) example code.
The Pinnacle™100 development board is a universal development tool that highlights the capabilities of the Pinnacle™100
modem. The development kit is supplied in a default configuration which should be suitable for multiple experimentation
options. It also offers several header connectors that help isolate on-board sensors and UART from the Pinnacle™100
modem to create different configurations. This allows you to test different operating scenarios.
The board allows the Pinnacle™100 series modem to physically connect to a PC via the supplied USB cable for development
purposes. The development board provides USB-to-Virtual COM port conversion through a FTDI chip –part number FT232R.
Any Windows PC (XP or later) should auto-install the necessary drivers; if your PC cannot locate the drivers, you can
download them from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
The Pinnacle™ 100 development board has the following features:
▪M.2, KEY E, PCI connector to connect a Pinnacle™100 series modem into the development board
▪The following power supply options for powering the development board:
–USB (micro-USB, type B)
–External DC supply (4.4-12V) –supplied. Center positive barrel connector or header for bench supply.
–(4) AA batteries –not supplied. Assume Lithium Iron Disulfide (4.4 –7.2V)
–(2) AA batteries –not supplied. Assume Lithium Iron Disulfide (2.2 –3.6V)
▪When powering the DVK with USB, Ext DC, or 4 AA, a DC-DC converter is used to supply the DVK with 3.7V. The DVK
also includes regulated 1.8V and a regulated 3.3V.
▪When powering with 2AA, the DC-DC converter is bypassed, as well as the regulated 3.3V
▪Placing a coin-cell (CR2032) in J13, provides a backup power supply to HL7800 RTC. (Not currently supported)
▪USB FTDI (J30) to UART bridge (FTDI chip)
▪Pinnacle™100 UART can be interfaced to:
–USB FTDI using the USB-UART bridge (FTDI chip)
–An external UART using J12.
▪Pinnacle™100 modem only current measuring option:
–J4 Pin header (ammeter)
▪IO break-out 2.54-mm pitch pin header connectors that bring out all interfaces of the Pinnacle™100 modem –UART,
SPI, I2C, SIO [DIO or AIN (ADCs)], NFC –and allows for plugging in external modules/sensors.
▪DIP switches on all PinnacleTM modem IO lines running to peripheral devices on the development board to allow
disconnection.
▪On-board Bosch Sensortec BME680 environmental sensor
▪Four buttons and four LEDs for user interaction
▪One reset button
▪NFC antenna connector on-board development board for use with supplied flexi-PCB NFC antenna
▪Debug and program NRF software using both an internal and an external serial wire debug (SWD)or trace interface
▪GPS antenna
▪Optional footprint for Microchip ATECC608A-SSHDA authentication IC (not populated)
▪Optional Spare Level Shifter

A nano SIM card must be inserted prior to insertion into CON1 (see Figure 4).
Figure 4: Insertion of nano SIM into a PinnacleTM 100 modem (image of 453-00010)
To remove the nano SIM, start by pushing the SIM from the back to the metal edge (arrow 1 shown in Figure 5), grab the edge
of the SIM card (arrow 2), and pull out.
Figure 5: Removing nano SIM from PinnacleTM 100 modem
Place the modem into CON1 and use the two provided M2 screws to thread into the standoffs to hold the modem down.
Both screws must be securely tightened to the modem and standoffs for proper modem operation. The standoffs provide
additional RF grounding for the modem. Loose screws can affect antenna performance. Figure 6 shows the process of
attaching a 453-00011 modem to a DVK.

Figure 7 shows the process of attaching a 453-00010 modem to a DVK. Recommend putting screws in the PCB holes before
inserting the modem into CON1.
Figure 7: Attaching a 453-00010 PinnacleTM 100 modem to a DVK
The DVK comes with a Revie Flex EFF6925A3S-15MHF1 antenna for the LTE radio and a FlexPIFA 001-0014 for the BLE
radio. Figure 8 shows the Revie Flex and FlexPIFA antennas attached to a 453-00011 modem. Both antennas must be placed
on plastic for proper operation
