ST X-NUCLEO-GNSS2A1 Manuale utente

Introduction

The X-NUCLEO-GNSS2A1 expansion board is based on the Teseo-VIC3DA tiny GNSS module. It represents an affordable,

easy-to-use, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) module, which embeds a TeseoIII single die standalone positioning

receiver IC, usable in different configurations in your STM32 Nucleo project.

The Teseo-VIC3DA is a compact (16.0 x 12.2 mm) module that provides superior accuracy thanks to the on-board temperature

compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) and a reduced time-to-first fix (TTFF) with its dedicated real-time clock (RTC) oscillator.

The Teseo-VIC3DA module runs the GNSS firmware (X-CUBE-GNSS1) to perform all the GNSS operations including

acquisition, tracking, navigation, and data output without any external memory support.

The X-NUCLEO-GNSS2A1 expansion board is compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 connector and the ST morpho connector. It

can be plugged to an STM32 Nucleo development board and stacked with additional STM32 Nucleo expansion boards.

1.2 Hardware and software requirements

The X-NUCLEO-GNSS2A1 must be plugged onto an STM32 Nucleo development board through the Arduino

UNO R3 connectors, as shown in the figure below.

Figure 2. X-NUCLEO-GNSS2A1 expansion board connected to an STM32 Nucleo development board

The X-NUCLEO-GNSS2A1 can be connected to any STM32 Nucleo development board, even though complete

testing has been performed on the NUCLEO-F401RE board.

To use the STM32 Nucleo development boards with the X-NUCLEO-GNSS2A1 expansion board, the following

software and hardware specifications are required:

• a PC with Microsoft Windows® 10 to install the software package (X-CUBE-GNSS1);

• an STM32 Nucleo development board (NUCLEO-L053R8 or NUCLEO-F401RE);

• a type A to mini-B USB cable to connect the STM32 Nucleo to the PC;

• the X-CUBE-GNSS1 software package;

•TESEO-SUITE.

The installation of the X-CUBE-GNSS1 and the TESEO-SUITE graphical user interface utility on the user PC

requires:

• 128 MB of RAM;

• 40 MB of hard disk space.

2.1 X-NUCLEO-GNSS2A1 expansion board for STM32 Nucleo

The X-NUCLEO-GNSS2A1 allows testing the Teseo-VIC3DA GNSS module functionality via the firmware

package contained in the X-CUBE-GNSS1 software.

Important: Program the microcontroller on the STM32 Nucleo development board.

The Teseo-VIC3DA module and the STM32 Nucleo development board communicate through the expansion

board connectors (CN5, CN6, CN8, and CN9) as listed in the tables below.

2.2 Teseo-VIC3DA module

The X-NUCLEO-GNSS2A1 expansion board embeds the Teseo-VIC3DA automotive GNSS dead-reckoning

module with 6-axis IMU.

The Teseo-VIC3DA is an easy-to-use global navigation satellite system (GNSS) standalone module. It embeds

the TeseoIII single-die standalone positioning receiver IC, which works simultaneously on multiple constellations

(GPS/Galileo/Glonass/BeiDou/QZSS).

Table 4. Teseo-VIC3DA details

Feature Description

Sales type Teseo-VIC3DA

Package LLC 24 pins (16.0 mm x 12.2 mm)

Operating voltage 3.3 V

2.3 GNSS antenna

The GNSS antenna (manufacturer INPAQ, part number B3G02G-S3-XX-A) is attached to the board through a

SMA connector (with its trademark and model).

Important: The antenna provided by the manufacturer can be replaced only with an identical one.

2.4 UART, I²C, and GPIO connection options

The Teseo-VIC3DA module embedded in the X-NUCLEO-GNSS2A1 expansion board can be used to work with

the board in different configurations when different expansion boards are used and a conflict of signals occurs.

For the optional connections, modify the firmware according to the STM32 resources to be used.

2.5 Current measurement

To monitor the Teseo-VIC3DA module power consumption, insert an ammeter probe between J14 pin (VCC) and

J15 pin (VBAT).

As the Teseo-VIC3DA power consumption is very low during most of its operating time, an accurate instrument in

the range of few μA is required.

2.6 ODO connector

The ODO connector on the X-NUCLEO-GNSS2A1 exposes two input signals for the Teseo-VIC3DA, which

embeds the TESEO dead reckoning. These two signals are specific to dead-reckoning applications and provide

the odometer information using the pins FWD (pin2) and WHEELTICK (pin3).
