RE: External GPS antenna on nRF9160 DK

user79389 — Thu, 04 Feb 2021 13:14:11 GMT

Hi Guys, just wanted to check if anyone had any recommendations for a smaller GPS antenna suitable for nrf9160 than the ones mentioned in the first post of this thread? Looking to fit it inside the enclosure we're designing for a nrf9160 based product.

Hello,
While thinking Active antenna can be easy to use, we have used M20057-1 antenna from antennova, tuning is really a messy task,and from 2 months trying, unable to get the gps fix using the gps example...does any one can help in this matter,

Very helpful guide!

I am interested in trying the recallable config (for both M1 and NB IoT). Maybe the configs can be placed as attachments here? Otherwise, please send them to: eas[emoticon:21289b3912ab422e9032b8dbfe38288c]svep.se

Hello Mikes,

This blog is very helpful for someone who wants to check CMW500.

Please allow me to ask for something.

Is there a configuration about this on CMW500?

One of the customers needs the value of "NB Index" for nRF9160.

The equipment engineer said that this value came from the vendor.

Woudl the internal GPS antena wwork on this rev? THe related errata only mentions v0.7.0 and v0.8.2 ?

RE: External GPS antenna on nRF9160 DK

Hello, one of our customers purchased this Dev Kit and received rev 0.8.3, which is not mentioned above in conjunction with the GPS antenna.

RE: Measuring PSM idle current on the nRF91 DK

[mention:c8d12f5777084884935d8dc5c6ed1d3b:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] I am working on replicating the above example with 1.1.1 modem version and the following build process: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/build-ncs-application-firmware-images-using-docker

Unfortunately the best value achieved is 508uA, with the following changes:

Disable serial in example
Disable serial in spm
Comment #include uart.h in example due to recent change
Add the following line to top of main: `while(1) k_sleep(1000);`
Disable things that could print at uart

CONFIG_AT_HOST_LIBRARY=n

CONFIG_STDOUT_CONSOLE=n

CONFIG_LOG=n

This results in 510uA power draw.

The interesting results is however that at some point I managed to build a minimal code example with just k_sleep as a secure image and then the power consumption was 4.8uA. Any thoughts?

Hi, I have two questions regarding to this example:

1. Do you know why it takes around 1 minute to finish sending? When I use the default amount of data (sizeof(ntp_format)), it takes around 12 seconds from sending to go to sleep mode.

2. Have you tested how long it takes to send one Byte and go back to sleep afterwards?

I'm getting stuck at "SPM: prepare to jump to Non-Secure image."

The debugger doesn't seem to be jumping to main.c either. Any thoughts?

What is the type of power supply they use?

user68888 — Wed, 25 Sep 2019 05:25:51 GMT

So I ran your unmodified 4721.udp_with_psm.zip example (hence PSM) per your attachment above on a properly configured 0.8.5 DK with the latest modem firmware 1.0.1, Tag 1.0.0, and I'm also getting consistent 37uA current readings. Any idea?
