Mod. 0809 2011-07 Rev.2 Page 24 of 34 JN3 EVK User Manual 1vv0300986 Rev.0 - 2012-01-20 correct LNA gain setting is selected for the chosen GPS antenna for use. In this case, the provided GPS antenna, the M820B-S, has 16dB typical gain. On the Main Menu Bar, select "Receiver" > "Command" > "IC Configure. . ." Click on "Advanced. . ." to open the IC Configuration fields. A message will pop up warning about incorrectly configuring the IC parameters. Ensure that you are aware of the correct parameter changes so as not to render your receiver non-operational. Click "Yes" to proceed. Under the selection "LNA Gain Mode:" choose "Low" from the drop down menu. Choosing Low will configure the internal LNA to its low gain mode. This will make the Evaluation Kit better fitted to work with an active antenna. Figure 16 displays the IC Configuration window.

If the 3V lithium coin cell is installed, and the jumper on the Battery Backup pin (J7) is installed then the evaluation kit will support battery backup. To use battery backup: 1. From the Full Power state (as indicated by output messages), toggle the ON/OFF Switch. Verify the message stream has stopped. 2. The USB cable can be pulled and the battery backed RAM and RTC time will be maintained as long as there is a 3V lithium battery and J7 pin is installed. Note that if the battery is not installed, the EVK will still support the low power state with preserved battery backed RAM and RTC time as long as the USB cable is still installed and the battery backup jumper is installed. If these features are not desired, then the USB cable must be removed To exit battery backup: 1. While the EVK is in low power state, connect the USB cable to the computer. Wait until the computer enumerates the USB port and applies power. 2. Toggle the ON/OFF Switch to the ON position, the EVK will automatically start up.

The following messages are the default NMEA messages outputted by the JN3: RMC = 1 second update GGA = 1 second update GSA = 1 second update GSV = 5 second update 7.1.1. Enable 5Hz Update NMEA Through SiRFLive, access the Main Menu Bar, under "Receiver" > "Navigation" > "Set 5Hz Nav" select "Enable 5Hz Nav." Note that for 5Hz update rate in NMEA mode, the receiver baud rate needs to be at least 38400 with all default NMEA messages On. The "Enable 5Hz Nav" command in SiRFLive sends the following: $PSRF103,00,6,00,0*23 The "Disable 5Hz Nav" command in SiRFLive sends the following: $PSRF103,00,7,00,0*22 At the new 5Hz update rate, the default NMEA messages are output accordingly: RMC = 0.2 second update GGA = 0.2 second update GSA = 0.2 second update GSV = 1 second update Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved.

Flashing the Jupiter-N3 It is usually not necessary for users to keep re-flashing the evaluation kit. New firmware will only be provided if necessary. 1 2 3 4 5 6 From the OFF state, place a jumper across J3 then turn ON the module with the ON/OFF Switch in order to go into Internal Boot mode. Fig. 2. Double click the SiRFlash.exe icon to open the program. Select Program, Internal Boot mode, Erase whole chip, and browse for the device firmware. Select Execute. After a successful flashing, toggle ON/OFF Switch to the OFF state. Remove the jumper across J3, then reapply the power through the ON/OFF Switch and the module will be in Full Power Mode ready to communicate. The evaluation Jupiter-N3 device needs to be in BOOT mode in order to flash. A jumper across J3 needs to be placed. Refer to Figure 2 for placement location. Figure 20: SiRFflash tool setting.

Upon connection to a USB port, the evaluation kit defaults to Full Power mode. 8.2.1.1. Going into Boot Mode 1. From the OFF state, place a jumper on the BOOT Pin J3. 2. Turn ON the module with the ON/OFF Switch. 3. It is now in Boot mode and ready to be flashed with firmware. 8.3. Internal LNA and Antenna The Internal LNA has two modes, each are specific to the amount of gain that a connected antenna will have. Usually, in high gain internal LNA mode, the antenna connected will be a passive antenna, while the low gain internal LNA mode will require an active antenna or an external LNA. It is recommended for the AGC to be in mid-range(between 1 and 62). If the total system gain is too high, the AGC will be high, therefore it will not be able to compensate as well if the receiver is in a noisy environment. The Jupiter-N3 evaluation is bundled with an Active Antenna, providing an amplifier gain of 16dB typical. 8.3.1.1. Active Antenna The bundled M820B antenna requires a DC voltage between 2.7V to 6.0V. The Evaluation Kit can provide 3.3V to the active antenna by adding a jumper on J6. The active antenna should be low gain variety. For passive antenna connection, ensure that jumper J6 is not installed in order to prevent damage. 8.3.1.2. Passive Antenna Open the box and ensure that there are no jumpers installed on J6.
