Hello sir,
Recently I am thinking to design a hat for BEAGLEBONE BLACK (https://www.beagleboard.org/boards/beaglebone-black) with 5G module (SIM8200EA M2).
But on the sim module I can see its using USB3.1, But i can not find any pinout or on the schematic of BEAGLEBONE BLACK exists USB3.1 pins. On its data sheet says only supports USB2.0. Can I use only D+ and D- for the Sim module?? Cause I can see USB3.1 has 6 wire. Please give me some suggestions.
The module aslo has PCIE, But I am not sure how to use PCIE with BEAGLEBONE BLACK. Is it possible to use PCIE with BEAGLEBONE BLACK?
Thank you
Anik.

Sorry, I found the SIM8200EA M2 supports USB2.0 also. Its USB D+ and D-.

But now I am very confused about the PCIE. Is it possible to use PCIE with BeagleBone?

What type of GPIO need for PCIE

where did you find the module datasheet? often they don't connect all M2 interfaces e.g. you may be able to use the modem with USB 2.0 connection only.

Yes, I have only used usb2.0 interface with it.
