3 Interfaces
EVB-LIV3x offers different interfaces to the user:
ON/OFF button
Reset button
µUSB use for interface with UART of Teseo-LIV3x
Supply by USB (5V)
GNSS antenna input
LED indicators
3.1 Power by USB
A micro USB connector (Figure 1) allows supplying the board identified in blue below.
Figure 1. Power input
3.2 ON/OFF switch
Figure 2. ON/OFF switch
When button (Figure 2) is lifted if the user presses the ON/OFF switch the board turns ON
and power LED turns on.
When the ON/OFF switch is lifted, VBAT is connected to GND, the board is switched OFF.
3.3 Reset
A reset button (Figure 3) is present on the front case panel and it resets the Teseo-LIV3x
module.

3.4 LED indicators
EVB-LIV3x offers two LED Indicators as shown below.
The PWR Red LED (Figure 4) indicator shows whether the unit is ON (led is turned on) or
OFF (led is turned off).

Figure 6. USB/UART connector
UART interface is used to trace NMEA messages and to upload the binary file on system.
Before using the UART/USB bridge FT232RQ the Virtual COM Port (VCP) driver needs to be
installed. It can be downloaded from FTDIChip web site.
The VCP device drivers allow the FT232RQ device on EVB-LIV3x to appear on the PC's
application software as a standard COM port. The application software running on the PC
accesses the FT232RQ device as it would access a standard hardware COM port
configured as shown in Table 1. However, the actual data transfer between the PC and the
FT232RQ device is performed over the USB interface as shown in Figure 7.

3.6 I2C interface
The 4-pin connector (CN302) provides I2C bus signal and power supply as shown in
Figure 8.

Figure 8. I2C connector
This header allows connection of an external I2C-Master-device to the Teseo-LIV3x.
Teseo-LIV3x always acts as slave on I2C-bus.
3.7 GNSS input antenna
GNSS input Figure 9 is available through a SMA female connector.
Figure 9. GNSS SMA connector
Passive or active antenna can be used on EVB-LIV3x.
The DC power supply for active antenna is 3V3 with current limitation in case of short circuit.
Note: Please use a DC blocker for passive or simulator connected to EVB-LIV3x.
