Use EVB kit with android smartphone without bluetooth?

Hello
I’m new to the community, I hope I don’t arrive too suddenly.

I plan to soon acquire an EVB kit to make an RTK rover. I have a few questions, and don’t want to make any mistakes.

I see in the topics that I have read that users use a Bluetooth module to connect their GNSS board to a smartphone. I would like to know if it is possible to connect the EVK directly via USB to the smartphone, or if this Bluetooth module is an obligation.

Another question, if the EVK is configured via dedicated software, does this setting remain stored in the module if I disconnect the power supply, or should we take an additional flash memory module?

Below are the modules that interest me:

I thank you in advance for your attention.

  1. I bought two Quectel GPS modules (LC29HEA and LG290P) and they both work connected directly to the mobile phone. Be careful with the various cables and adapters (micro-usb-mini-usb-usc-c) used because they do not always work correctly.
    The story of the Bluetooth connection (in my case) is only because having the cell phone “attached” to the surveyor’s pole is very inconvenient.
  2. the settings obviously remain stored.

Thank you very much for your quick response. I understand the problem with the USB cable, some cables and adapters are only intended for power supply, others are not standard. I have a usb-c to usb-c cable, type 3.1. 240w and 480 bps/s… it may be a little big for such use, but we’ll see at reception ^^

I’m coming back to this message, because I think it may be useful. In fact, you can use this module directly via USB, but you need an OTG adapter. For the moment I have only managed to make it work with a USB to USB-C adapter, I have not yet found a USB-C to USB-C adapter that supports OTG.
