Table 6: EXT connector pin details

GNSS current measurement

At start-up, the receiver starts in acquisition state to search for available satellites and to download GNSS orbital data, i.e., ephemeris and almanac. Once the data has been downloaded, the receiver enters tracking state. In continuous operation, the receiver typically remains in tracking state once entering it. The current consumption reduces when the receiver enters the tracking state. The time required to enter tracking mode can be reduced by downloading aiding data from the AssistNow™ Online service

To measure the total GNSS supply current with EVK-F9T, follow these steps:

  1. Power up EVK-F9T.
  2. Connect a true RMS voltmeter across CUR GPS1 (pin 12) and CUR GPS2 (pin 13) of the 14-pin connector.
  3. Read the voltage (and average if necessary) on the voltmeter and convert to current (1 mV equals 1 mA).
  4. Perform the test with good signals and clear sky view to ensure that the receiver can acquire the satellite signals
     The total GNSS current includes the internal LNA, SPI flash and TCXO.

 Troubleshooting

My application (e.g. u-center) does not receive anything
Check whether the blue LED on the evaluation unit is blinking. Also make sure that the USB cable is properly connected to the evaluation unit and the PC. By default, the evaluation unit outputs NMEA protocol on Serial Port 1, or on the USB.

My application (e.g. u-center) does not receive all messages
When using UART, make sure the baud rate is sufficient. If the baud rate is insufficient, GNSS receivers based on u-blox F9 GNSS technology will skip excessive messages. Some serial port cards/adapters (i.e. USB to RS232 converter) frequently generate errors. If a communication error occurs while u-center receives a message, the message will be discarded.

My application (e.g. u-center) loses the connection to the GNSS receiver
u-blox F9 positioning technology and u-center both have an autobauding feature. If frequent communication errors occur (e.g. due to problems with the serial port), the connection may be lost. This happens because u-center and the GNSS receiver both autonomously try to adjust the baud rate. Do not enable the u-center autobauding if the GNSS receiver has the autobauding flag enabled.

The COM port does not send any messages
Be sure that the slide switch at the front panel is set to I2C and not SPI. In SPI mode the RS232 pins on the DB9 connector are switched off and the RxD and TxD output at the front panel are used for SPI (MISO, MOSI).

After changing the slide switch, always reset the EVK; if it is not reset, the change will not take

place.

Some COM ports are not shown in the port list of my application (e.g. u-center)
Only the COM ports that are available on your computer will show up in the COM port drop-down list. If a COM Port is gray, another application running on this computer is using it.

The position is off by a few dozen meters
u-blox F9 GNSS technology starts up with the WGS84 standard GNSS datum. If your application expects a different datum, you will most likely find the positions to be off by a few dozen meters. Do not forget to check the calibration of u-center map files.

The position is off by hundreds of meters
Position drift may also occur when almanac navigation is enabled. The satellite orbit information retrieved from an almanac is much less accurate than the information retrieved from the ephemeris. With an almanac only solution, the position will only have an accuracy of a few kilometers, but it may start up faster or still navigate in areas with obscured visibility when the ephemeris from one or several satellites have not yet been received. The almanac information is NOT used for calculating a position, if valid ephemeris information is present, regardless of the setting of this flag.

In NMEA protocol, position solutions with high deviation (e.g. due to enabling almanac navigation) can be filtered with the Position Accuracy Mask. UBX protocol does not directly support this since it provides a position accuracy estimation, which allows the user to filter the position according to his requirements. However, the ‘Position within Limits’ flag of the UBX-NAV-STATUS message indicateswhether the configured thresholds (i.e. P Accuracy Mask and PDOP) are exceeded.

TTFF times at startup are much longer than specified
At startup (after the first position fix), the GNSS receiver performs an RTC calibration to have an accurate internal time source. A calibrated RTC is required to achieve minimal startup time Before shutting down the receiver externally, check the status in MON-HW in field ‘Real Time Clock Status’. Do not shut down the receiver if the RTC is not calibrated.

The EVK-F9T does not meet the TTFF specification
Make sure the antenna has a good sky view. An obstructed view leads to prolonged startup times. Ina well-designed system, the average of the C/N0 ratio of high elevation satellites should be in the range of 40 dBHz to about 50 dBHz. With a standard off-the-shelf active antenna, 47 dBHz should easily be achieved. Low C/N0 values lead to a prolonged startup time

The EVK-F9T does not preserve the configuration in case of reset
u-blox F9 GNSS technology uses a slightly different concept than most other GNSS receivers do. Settings are initially stored to volatile memory. In order to save them permanently, sending a second command is required. This allows testing the new settings and reverting to the old settings by resetting the receiver if the new settings are not good. This provides safety, as it is no longer possible to accidentally program a bad configuration (e.g. disabling the main communication port).

The EVK-F9T does not work properly when connected with a GNSS simulator

When using an EVK together with a GNSS simulator, pay attention to proper handling of the EVK. A GNSS receiver is designed for real-life use, i.e. time is always moving forward. By using a GNSS simulator, the user can change scenarios, which enables jumping backwards in time. This can have serious side effects on the performance of GNSS receivers.

The solution is to configure the GPS week rollover to 1200, which corresponds to Jan 2003. Then, issue the cold start command before every simulator test to avoid receiver confusion due to the time jumps.

Power save mode and USB
For communication in power save mode, use the RS232.

Common evaluation pitfalls

  • A parameter may have the same name but a different definition. GNSS receivers may have asimilar size, price and power consumption, but can still have different functionalities (e.g. nosupport for passive antennas, different temperature range). Also, the definitions of hot, warm, and cold start times may differ between suppliers.
  • Verify design-critical parameters; do not base a decision on unconfirmed numbers from data sheets.
  • Try to use identical or at least similar settings when comparing the GNSS performance of different receivers.
  • Data that has not been recorded at the same time and the same place should not be compared. The satellite constellation, the number of visible satellites, and the sky view might have been different.
  • Do not compare momentary measurements. GNSS is a non-deterministic system. The satellite constellation changes constantly. Atmospheric effects (i.e. dawn and dusk) have an impact on signal travel time. The position of the GNSS receiver is typically not the same between two tests. Comparative tests should therefore be conducted in parallel by using one antenna and a signal splitter; statistical tests shall be run for 24 hours.
  • Monitor the carrier-to-noise ratio. The average C/N0 ratio of the high elevation satellites should be between 40 dBHz and about 50 dBHz. A low C/N0 ratio will result in a prolonged TTFF and more position drift.
  • When comparing receivers side by side, make sure that all receivers have the same signal levels. The best way to achieve this is by using a signal splitter. Comparing results measured with different antenna types (with different sensitivity) will lead to incorrect conclusions.
  • Try to feed the same signal to all receivers in parallel (i.e. through a splitter); the receivers will not ave the same sky view otherwise. Even small differences can have an impact on the accuracy. One additional satellite can lead to a lower DOP and less position drift.
  • When doing reacquisition tests, cover the antenna to block the sky view. Do not unplug the antenna since the u-blox F9 positioning technology continuously performs a noise calibration on idle channels.
