My EM9190 is not being detected in my Windows 10 machine.
I have an m.2 to USB 3 adaptor for the card but it does not appear to power on. Is there a specific Sierra Wireless tool I need to install for this to be recognized?
Should I try taping specific pins?
So it should at the very least show up in the
TBH it is unlikely to function properly with a converter off the internet as some of the pins will almost certainly be configured incorrectly which will cause the unit to not power up or not be detected correctly.

Thank you for your reply Matt. I have also tried it in the ZBT WG1608 router and a couple of EVB boards and I am still not having any fortune.
If you have managed to get your hands on an EM91 then you must have either direct support or support from one of the distributors (as they are in high demand and not for general sale to everyone at the moment). You need to ask them for the technical documentation.

I got it off of a random listing on Chinese amazon for a bunch of money, I found the technical documents on the FCC OET website off of the public internet.
I just want to know how to turn it on, or if I need some kind of new adaptor.
You might need one of our dev kits but if you give me the IMEI or serial number (should be written on the unit) I should be able to tell you the build standard and what I would expect it to be able to do and subsequently guide you a bit better.

Thank you Matt I sent you message with this information.
I have the exact same issue. Was it solved?
Yes it was an early engineering sample, you cannot use an adaptor with the unit you either need to use a specifically designed board or one of our dev kits (which is designed for it).

Hi @mlw , mine is a production run and does the same. Other modules (eg. Quectel ones) work fine with this adaptor and are correctly seen. Is there any special trick to turn the 9190 on with these adapters?
How can I send you the IMEI in a private message, so you can verify?
About the following (from the official documentation):
Updated M.2 pinout to have both USB3.1 and PCIe signals, added PCIE_DIS for interface selection
What is the default for the 9190 when plugged into a generic M2 to USB adaptor?
perhaps PCIE is default? should I tie PCIE_DIS to high to enable USB3?
There is no magic wand that I know of to make it work with any given adaptor board or be able to tell you why it works with the Quectel one and not the EM91, that’s just going to be luck more than anything. You need to go through the PTS, check the units requirements and then look at what the adaptor is doing.
Re the PCI vs USB question, the default state of the unit is PCI, if you pull PCI_DIS (pin 20) high for the power up sequence then it will boot into USB mode, all depends what the adaptor board is doing with this pin.

That could be the issue I’m having then. I tried the module on my ZBT router and it’s not seen there too so it’s not an adaptor only issue.
Hi Matt, can you please tell me the part # of the development board for EM91xx?
TIA
Rick
You are going to need to go to one of our distributors to get your hands on one (not Digikey or one of the other catalogue disti’s), I know they are in extremely short supply right now.
Regards
Matt
Understood. Can I have the part # anyway ?
Thanks
Rick
thanks Matt! Appreciate it.
Hi Matt, maybe you can help me.
I bought EM9190 with usb box. It work properly with Win10, with CA. download speed is 90Mbps, upload speed is 95Mbps. But i want to connect it to my router keneteec, it doesn’t see it.
To solve this problem i bought dual-Q H7210 5Gnr outdoor enclosure openwrt for DIY. EM9190 is seen in it, but CA don’t work properly the speed is D 30Mbps, U 30Mbps.
