LTE and GPS for Hikey960

[galvesribeiro]

Hello folks!

I’m looking to add GPS and LTE/4G on an application using HiKey960. Specifically to use something like this modem: https://www.sierrawireless.com/products-and-solutions/embedded-solutions/products/em7455/

As it has M.2 form factor and the board has the connector, I wonder if anyone can tell me if it is supported to use that on this connector or is it only for external storage?

I’m looking to use it with Linux, no Android here, so I would appreciate any help.

Thank you!

I have personally tried the Shiratech LTE mezzanine (with a dragonboard410c):

Shiratech LTE Mezzanine

It’s quite simple to enable since the modem is exposed through USB.

Well, only PCIE line is connected to the M2 connector on Hikey960, so you need to check what is requested by the module.
