I have reviewed the provided datasheet section for the NORA-B2 series. However, the source material does not contain a detailed pin-level pinout table for any variant, including NORA-B216.

The datasheet section provided includes:

• Product overview and feature descriptions
• High-level hardware interface summary (31 GPIO, UART, I2C, SPI, etc.)
• Package dimensions and electrical specifications
• Product variant descriptions

What is missing:

• No pin diagram image with numbered pins was successfully parsed from the attachments
• No text table mapping pin numbers to pin names/functions for NORA-B216 or any variant
• The images appear to show module form factors but do not contain readable pin numbering

Unable to Extract Pinout

Reason: The pinout section of the datasheet is not present in the provided material. To extract a complete NORA-B216 pinout, I would need:

1. A pin diagram showing numbered pins (1, 2, 3, …)
2. A pin description table listing pin names, types (I/O, power, ground), and functions

Recommendation: Consult the full NORA-B216 product datasheet (not just the overview section) or contact u-blox support at www.u-blox.com/contact-u-blox for the complete pinout documentation.
