Autobaud for HL 8548

IoT Modules Legacy HL Series

Hi,

Using for the first time an HL8548-G with an ATMEGA 88 at 1.8v we are looking for the best way to set Autobaud for UART instead of the 115200 default value?

Thanks in advance

Autobaud is not supported on the UART for HL8548. But you can use the AT+IPR command to change the baud rate.

Unfortunately, the combination of no autobaud and a baud rate of 115.2 kbaud is a huge problem for applications where the host MCU is running at 8, 10, 16, 20 MHz, as the baud error rate is so high that one cannot reliably expect the command to be read by the module.

This leaves one with the problem of having to reconfigure the modem baud rate externally with another device, or of being limited to an MCU crystal frequency of 14.745 MHz for example.

If Sierra had chosen another default baud rate, this problem would not have arisen.

This problem is holding me up right now.
