EVK-F10T - User guide Getting started 3.1 Installing u-center 2 software u-center 2, the u-blox interactive evaluation software tool is required for configuration, testing, visualization, and data analysis of u-blox GNSS receivers as well as EVKs. The EVK user guide together with the u-center 2 evaluation tool provide useful assistance during all phases of a system integration project. -
Page 8: Device Description
EVK-F10T - User guide Device description EVK-F10T evaluation kit contains u-blox NEO-F10T GNSS receiver with RTC, SPI flash memory, TCXO and SAW filter. 4.1 Interface connection The EVK-F10T supports UART and USB (serial to USB communication) interfaces. To connect the EVK to a PC, use the included USB cable depending on the interface in use. -
Page 9: 14-Pin Connector
4.1.1 14-pin connector The EVK-F10T front side has a 14-pin connector that provides programmable input/output signals, communication interfaces and power supply options. All these pins are ESD protected. The 14-pin connector can be used for communicating with the receiver through the 3.3V UART interface. In addition, the 14-pin connector provides flexibility for evaluating other advanced scenarios. -

To evaluate the GNSS reception, the GNSS signal must be supplied to the antenna input SMA connector of the evaluation kit. EVK-F10T evaluation kit includes ANN-MB1 multi-band (L1/L5) active GNSS antenna with a 3 m cable. It is possible to connect various active GNSS antennas with SMA connectors or provide a signal from a recorded or simulated GNSS RF source to the antenna input. -

The time pulse signal is configurable. For details, see the Interface description [2]. 4.7 Flash memory EVK-F10T has an 8-Mbit SPI flash built-in in the NEO-F10T receiver. It can be used to store the current configuration permanently. 4.8 External interrupt On the EVK-F10T, the external interrupt (EXTINT) signal is available on the 14-pin connector. -
Page 13: Measuring Current
On EVK-F10T, the main supply voltage for the u-blox NEO-F10T GNSS receiver is 3.3 V. To measure the total GNSS supply current with EVK-F10T, follow these steps: Before starting the test, make sure you have good signals and clear sky view to ensure that the receiver can acquire the satellite signals. -
