Device description

USB
A USB-C connector is featured for data communication and power supply. USB drivers are installed automatically through Windows update.

UART
The unit includes an RS-232 port which can be dynamically connected to the UART of the receiver or the onboard MCU. Selection of the UART connection is controlled by the SEL_MCU_N pin on the front connector: when the pin is low, the MCU is selected.

The selected UART interface is also available via the RxD and TxD pins on the front connector. The pins are at TTL voltage levels.
Flow control should not be used with the RS-232 port.

Antenna
The kit includes a u-blox active GNSS antenna with a 3-meter cable. There is a female SMA connector (RF IN) available on the front side of the unit for connecting the antenna.

14-pin front connector
The connector and its signals are described in the table below.

connections
12| CAN_H| I|  | Connect to the vehicle CAN high wire (ISO 11898-2)
11| CAN_L| I|  | Connect to the vehicle CAN low wire (ISO 11898-2)
10| TIMEPULSE| O| –| Time pulse signal output
9| SEL_MCU_N| I| –| Pull-down signal for enabling UART communication with the MCU
8| WoM| O|  | Wake-on-motion signal output

Leave the reserved pins open.

10-pin rear connector
This connector is used for updating the MCU firmware. See section 5.5 for more information.

Reset and safe boot buttons
The reset button on the front panel resets the unit

The safe boot button is used to set the unit in safe boot mode. In this mode the receiver executes only the minimal functionality, such as updating new firmware into the SQI flash. USB communication is disabled while in safe boot mode.

To set the receiver in safe boot mode:

• Press and hold the BOOT button.
• Press the RST button.
• Release the RST button.
• Release the BOOT button.

To use UART in safe boot mode, a training sequence needs to be sent to the receiver. The training sequence is a transmission of two bytes (0x55 0x55) at the baud rate of 9600. Wait for at least 100 milliseconds before the interface is ready to accept commands

I2C/SPI slide switch

The switch must be kept at the I2C position to ensure correct operation of the device!
Contact u-blox technical support for assistance if required.

LED
On the front panel of the unit, a single blue LED may be configured to follow the receiver time pulse signal. If there is no GNSS fix, the LED will be lit without flashing.

Backup power supply
The back side of the unit has a micro-USB connector for providing backup voltage for the receiver. See the NEO-M9V Integration manual [1] for more information about backup voltage.
If a power bank is used for backup power, ensure that the power supply is not interrupted due to low current intake

Getting started

This chapter works as a simple step-by-step guide for successfully setting up the device and using it for evaluation in a basic automotive application using untethered dead reckoning (UDR) technology.
The basic evaluation process consists of four simple steps: installation, calibration, testing, and analysis. Following the step in this chapter will help minimize errors leading to most common issues in performance.
For other application types, some modifications to the installation step may be necessary. See chapter 4 for more information.

Installation

Mounting the device

Firmly attach the device to the vehicle to avoid any movement and vibration relative to the vehicle. The device must not be attached to any moving part of the interior of the vehicle, for example, a headrest or a rear-view mirror. A good location is in the trunk, close to the center of the rear axle of the vehicle.
Dead reckoning performance can be seriously impaired by changes in the orientation of the device.

Mounting the antenna
Place the provided GNSS antenna in a location with an unobstructed view of the sky, for example, the roof of the vehicle. For best performance, ensure that the antenna has contact to a ground plane with a minimum of 100–150 mm diameter.

Connecting the cables

1. Connect the GNSS antenna to the RF connector on the front panel of the device.
2. Connect the device to a PC via USB.

Configuring the receiver (optional)
The default configuration of the MDR firmware is usable for basic automotive applications. A custom configuration can be applied using u-center:

1. Open u-center.
2. Select the device with Receiver > Connection > COMXX.
3. Open the Messages View with View > Messages View.
4. Select the UBX-CFG-VALSET message.
5. Select the configuration item(s) with Group and Key name.
6. Modify the values and send the message to modify the configuration.
   ☞ Refer to the NEO-M9V documentation ([2], [3]) for more information about receiver configuration.

Calibration

1. Before the receiver can operate in dead reckoning mode, it needs to gather calibration information from the movements of the vehicle. Although the calibration process will complete eventually during normal driving, it can be accelerated by doing a calibration drive prior to actual testing. The calibration drive may speed up the evaluation process considerably.
2. The calibration drive must be done in an open area, such as a parking lot, under good GNSS signal conditions. Drive the vehicle to such a place and do the following steps.

The progress of calibration can be monitored in u-center with the UBX-ESF-ALG and UBX-ESF-STATUS messages.

1. With the car stationary, power on the EVK-M9DR and wait for a valid 3D GNSS fix.
2. Remain stationary until IMU status in ESF-STATUS shows “INITIALIZED”.
3. Drive a figure-of-eight pattern until the alignment status in ESF-ALG shows “COARSE”.
4. Drive straight at a minimum speed of 40 km/h until INS status in ESF-STATUS shows “INITIALIZED”.

Once the calibration is at a sufficient level, the receiver starts using the sensors in navigation and the fusion filter status in ESF-STATUS will show “FUSION”.
The receiver will continue calibrating the sensors in the background continuously to improve the quality of the solution. For optimal performance, it is recommended to repeat step 3 until ESF-ALG shows “FINE” and to drive curves and straight segments until all sensors in ESF-STATUS report “CALIBRATED” before actual testing.
Refer to the NEO-M9V Integration manual [2] for more information about sensor calibration

Testing

The device is now ready for actual test drives. For replaying and analyzing the test drives afterwards, record the data into log files with u-center. To collect a proper log file with sufficient information, do the following steps:

1. Open u-center.
2. Select the device with Receiver > Connection > COMXX.
3. Enable UBX messages according to what needs to be monitored.
4. Enable debug messages with the debug message button (Figure 1). This step is optional, but necessary for investigation of issues.
5. Start recording with the record button (Figure 1).
6. When prompted to poll the receiver configuration, select the correct receiver generation, and click “Yes”.
7. Perform the test drive.
8. To stop recording, click the eject button (Figure 1). The log file will be saved automatically.

Analysis
After collecting data over test drives, u-center can be used to replay and analyze the logs in several ways:

• Checking the general receiver status
• Monitoring data in individual messages
• Using the chart view to monitor certain parameters over time

To replay a log, do the following:

1. Open u-center
2. Open a log using File > Open…
3. Use the log controls (Figure 2) to play, pause and move the current time in the log file.
4. Open different views from the View menu.

Refer to the u-center User guide [4] for more information about its features

Advanced setup

Non-automotive applications

To use the device in a two-wheel vehicle, some extra steps are required. Follow these instructions in addition to section 3.1.
The UBX-C cable provided together with the kit might not be sufficiently long when evaluating these use cases. Get a cable with appropriate length before starting the test

Configuring the dynamic model
There are two dynamic models for two-wheel vehicles: motorbike and e-scooter. Select the model which better suits the application and configure the receiver accordingly:

• For motorbike applications, set CFG-NAVSPG-DYNMODEL = 10.
• For e-scooter applications, set CFG-NAVSPG-DYNMODEL = 12.

Refer to the NEO-M9V Integration manual [2] for more information about different dynamic models.

Configuring the IMU alignment
When using the motorbike or e-scooter dynamic model, auto-alignment must be disabled, and the correct alignment angles have to be configured manually:

1. Disable auto-alignment by setting CFG-SFIMU-AUTO_MNTALG_ENA = 0
2. Set the roll angle with CFG-SFIMU-IMU_MNTALG_ROLL.
3. Set the pitch angle with CFG-SFIMU-IMU_MNTALG_PITCH.
4. Set the yaw angle with CFG-SFIMU-IMU_MNTALG_YAW.

Refer to the NEO-M9V Integration manual [2] for determining the alignment angles

ADR setup
Follow these instructions in addition to section 3.1 to set up the device for testing ADR.

Providing odometer input
ADR requires odometer input from the vehicle, that is, wheel ticks or speed, and direction. The following options are available for supplying odometer input to the receiver:

1. Hardware interface: wheel tick and direction pins.
2. Software interface: UBX-ESF-MEAS messages.
3. CAN interface: CAN_H and CAN_L pins.

Only one of the options above may be used at one time. Make the following connections based on the selected option:

• A. If using the hardware interface, connect the Wheel Tick and FWD pins to the corresponding pins of the outputting sensor
• B. If using the software interface, connect a serial interface (USB/UART) to the data provider
• C. If using the CAN interface, connect the CAN high and CAN low signals of the CAN bus to the CAN_H and CAN_L pins in the front connector.

See the NEO-M9V documentation ([2], [3]) for more information about options 1 and 2. For option 3, refer to chapter 5.

Configuring the device for ADR
The receiver can be configured with UBX-CFG-VALSET messages. Consult the NEO- M9V documentation ([2], [3]) for more information about the configuration.

Configure the odometer sensor input depending on the used sensor:

• A. If the wheel tick and direction pins on the front connector are used, enable the use of the wheel tick pin by setting the value for key ID CFG-SFODO-USE_WT_PIN to 1.
• B. If using the CAN interface or the software interface, the wheel tick pin must be disabled. Set the value for key ID CFG-SFODO-USE_WT_PIN to 0. See chapter 5 for instructions on how to configure the CAN interface

It is highly recommended to verify that the configuration is correct and to perform system sanity checks.
If the GNSS antenna is placed at a significant distance from the receiver, position offsets can be introduced which might affect the accuracy of the navigation solution. In order to compensate for the position offset, advanced configurations can be applied. Contact u-blox support for more information on advanced configurations

Configurable CAN interface

This chapter only applies to the ADR operating mode and can be ignored for UDR.
The device has a configurable high-speed CAN (ISO 11898-2) interface. The on- board MCU converts the configured CAN messages into UBX-ESF-MEAS messages which are sent to the receiver via I2C.

Valid configurations
The CAN interface supports the following configurations:

• Single tick from VRP + direction
• Wheel ticks from both rear wheels + direction
• Speed from VRP + direction
• Speed from both rear wheels + direction

See appendix B for example configurations.

Configuring the interface
Communication with the MCU can be established via UART. Connect the front connector pin SEL_MCU_N to ground to enable the MCU communication.
The MCU UART runs at baud rate 115200.

The following messages are supported:

• CONFIG GET – Reports the current CAN configuration.
  • Hex string: 0x43 0xa2 0x10 0x00 0x10 0x20
• CONFIG CLEAR – Deletes the current CAN configuration.
  • Hex string: 0x43 0xa2 0x12 0x00 0x12 0x24
• CONFIG SET – Sends a configuration for one data field.
  • Hex string: generate with the tool

Sending the commands to the MCU can be done through a terminal program. We recommend using RealTerm. For more information, see [5].

C100 MSG
