Page 19: Troubleshooting
EVK-F9P-00 - User guide 10 Troubleshooting My application (e.g., u-center) does not receive anything • Check that the EVK is in clear sky view or that the antenna cable is connected. • Check that the slide switch on the front panel of the EVK is set to the communication port that user is using. - Page 20 (e.g., disabling the main communication port). The EVK-F9P-00 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.

Page 21: Common Evaluation Pitfalls
EVK-F9P-00 - User guide 11 Common evaluation pitfalls • A parameter may have the same name but a different definition. GNSS receivers may have a similar size, price, and power consumption, but can still have different functionalities (e.g., no support for passive antennas, different temperature range). Also, the definitions of hot, warm, and cold start times may differ between suppliers. -
