GNSS function
There are two types of EC20 modules, one is has GNSS and another is no
GNSS. EC20 4G modules sold on firefly's official website do not
support GNSS, and the suffix is "SNNS". EC20 modules that support GNSS
generally have the suffix "SGNS".The public firmware supports GNSS
function, but it is turned off by default. For the use method, please
refer to the chapter
EC20 GNSS function

Reference firmware
The official website of the public version of the default firmware
support EC20 4G dongle module, EC200T 4G module
GNSS Module
EC20 GNSS Function
EC20 module supports GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO and BEIDOU, and is
compatible with standard NMEA 0183 protocol. It can output NMEA
information of 1Hz frequency through USB NMEA interface. The default
output serial port is "/dev/ttyUSB1" and baud rate is " 115200" bit/s.
Antenna Requirements
Frequency range:1559MHz~1609MHz
Polarization:RHCP or Linear
VSWR:< 2(Typical)
Active antenna noise figure:< 1.5dB
Active antenna gain:> 0dB
LNA gain embedded in active antenna:< 17dB
Note:
The GPS antenna need using an
active antenna
.
Instruction
Hardware Connection
The EC20 module can be connected according to the chapter of
EC20 4G Module suite
, and the GPS antenna is connected to the interface with GPS silk
screen.
Software Configuration
For EC20 module, the serial port node and baud rate configured by GNSS
are "/dev/ttyUSB1" and "115200" respectively. Before using the module,
you need to check whether the value of "SERIAL_DEVICE" or
"SERIAL_BAUD_RATE" in "/system/etc/u-blox.conf" matches it. If you
confirm the matching, you can use it after enabling GPS. Refer to the
enabling method
How to enable GPS and modify serial port configuration
.
Note
: For EC20 module, when using GNSS function, you need to pay attention
to whether has other "ttyUSB*" devices. If there are other "ttyUSB",
the default "ttyUSB" device number of EC20 may be changed, resulting
in the failure of GNSS function.
How to enable GPS and modify serial port Configuration
Glossary:
SERIAL_DEVICE: Serial port node
SERIAL_BAUD_RATE:Serial baud rate
Temporary modification method
Ensure that the firmware is the latest
public firmware
. The firmware turns off the GPS function by default and needs to be
enabled manually. The following is the modification method:
Enable ADB, and how to enable ADB, please refer to wiki tutorial ADB
Use
Set system readable and writable adb shell setprop
persist.sys.root_access 3 adb root && adb remount
Modify Parameters Enabled GPS：Modify the parameter ro.factory.hasGPS
in /vendor/build.prop on the machine to true to enable GPS. It will
take effect after soft restarting the machine. Modify serial port
configuration (serial port node or baud rate)：Modify the
SERIAL_DEVICE or SERIAL_BAUD_RATE in /system/etc/u-blox.conf on the
machine to the value of the corresponding module configuration. It
takes effect after soft restarting the machine.
Code modification method
Enabled GPS Modify the BOARD_HAS_GPS in the SDK directory
device/rockchip/rk356x/rk3566_roc_pc/rk3566_roc_pc.mk to true to
enable GPS function. Then, recompile the SDK and upgrad the firmware
to take effect.
Modify serial port configuration (serial port node or baud rate)
Modify the SERIAL_DEVICE or SERIAL_BAUD_RATE in the SDK directory
device/rockchip/rk356x/rk3566_roc_pc/rk3566_roc_pc.mk to the value of
the corresponding module configuration. Then, recompile the SDK and
upgrad the firmware to take effect.
