Raspberry pi 2 IoT

Question

I would like to ask how to connect GSM module pgsm-1 to Raspberry pi 2 running Windows IoT core. We are supposed to connect it to the RasPi 2 via pins RXD and TXD which are labeled as reserved by Microsoft now. How could we do that?

Answer 1

You could use any 'supported' USB-to-Serial adapter to connect to the GSM module. Altough the list of supported hardware offered by MS is a bit of a mess...

I use one with a "Silabs CP2102" chip, but it requires some re-plugging from time to time since it seems to freeze on Win 10 IoT Core...
