3 Getting Started
3.1 Software installation
Installation of the EVK-M8QCAM/M8CCAM software and documentation requires internet access.
Choose the "Software only" or "Software and documentation" installation package from the u-blox
website. Once the zip file is downloaded, unzip the file in the Tools folder and double-click the extracted exe
file.
The software components will be installed on your system and placed under the "u-blox" folder in the "Start
Programs" menu.
3.2 Hardware installation
1. Connect the unit to a PC running Microsoft Windows. Options:
USB: Connect via USB port. Set the slide switch to USB.
UART: Connect via RS232. Set the slide switch to RS232.
2. The device must always have power, either via the USB port on the rear or the V5_IN input on the front.
3. The EVK-M8QCAM or EVK-M8CCAM evaluation kit includes a CAM-M8Q or CAM-M8C concurrent GNSS
module with embedded chip antenna. Optionally, an external GNSS antenna can be connected to the
evaluation unit. Be sure to place the EVK in a location with unobstructed sky views.
4. Start the u-center GNSS Evaluation Software and select corresponding COM port and baud rate. (Refer to
the u-center User Guide [4] for more information.)
