Supported GNSS constellations Teseo-LIV3R
8/29 DS12821 Rev 1
2 Supported GNSS constellations
The embedded FW supports the following GNSS constellations (GPS, GLONASS, BEIDOU
and QZSS). The user can select what the application needs by FW configuration.
GPS+GLONASS are selected by default.
2.1 GPS
The Teseo-LIV3R GNSS module is designed to receive and to track the L1C/A signals
provided at 1575.42 MHz by the Global Positioning System (GPS). The Teseo-LIV3R can
receive and process GPS concurrently with GLONASS or BeiDou (the last two are mutually
exclusive).
2.2 GLONASS
The Teseo-LIV3R module can receive and process GLONASS concurrently with GPS. The
Russian GLONASS satellite system (ГЛОНАСС; GLObal NAvigation Satellite System) is an
alternative to US’s GPS.
2.3 BeiDou
The Teseo-LIV3R module can receive and process BeiDou concurrently with GPS. B1
signals provided at 1561.098 MHz by the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System can be
tracked by Teseo-LIV3R positioning modules. The ability to receive and track BeiDou B1
satellite signals in conjunction with GPS results in higher coverage, improved reliability and
better accuracy especially in the difficult urban environment of the big far east cities like
Shanghai, Taipei, and Singapore.
DS12821 Rev 1 9/29
Teseo-LIV3R Augmentation systems
27
3 Augmentation systems
3.1 Satellite-Based augmentation system
Teseo-LIV3R supports SBAS. SBAS is a Wide Area Differential GPS (WADGPS). It is a
system which provides differential GPS corrections data; SBAS includes the WAAS within
the United States, the EGNOS within Europe, the Multifunctional Transport Satellite
(MTSAT)–based MSAS within Japan and Southeast Asia, and the GPS and GEO
Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) system in India.
SBAS data correction is used in the GNSS algorithm to provide better position estimation.
The overall SBAS differential correction mechanism can be conceived and built in 2 phases:
The “Acquire and Tracking” phase
The “Decoding” phase
The “Acquire and Track” phase relates to the capacity of the acquisition engine to reliably
track the configured SBAS satellite; during decoding phase the SBAS message can be
decoded to fetch the differential corrections.
The current longitude limits for each service are:
WAAS -180 to -25 degrees
EGNOS -25 degrees to +50 degrees
GAGAN +50 degrees to +100 degrees
MSAS +100 degrees to +180 degrees
The Teseo-LIV3R software with SBAS capability implements a command interface at the
NMEA level to allow interaction with the SBAS library. It supports commands to
enable/disable the SBAS functionality.
3.2 QZSS
The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) is a Japanese regional communication service
and positioning information for the mobile environment in the GPS L1C/A band. QZSS in
conjunction with GPS signals provides GNSS augmentation service for the Pacific region
covering Japan and Australia. QZSS satellites are placed in a periodic Highly Elliptical Orbit
(HEO): these orbits allow the satellites to “dwell” for more than 12 hours a day at an
elevation above 70° (it means that they appear almost overhead most of the time).
3.3 Differential GPS
Teseo-LIV3R supports Differential-GPS data according to RTCM (Radio Technical
Commission for Maritime Services) 2.3.
Differential-GPS data improves position accuracy.
Teseo-LIV3R supports the following RTCM messages.

DS12821 Rev 1 11/29
Teseo-LIV3R Assisted GNSS
27
4 Assisted GNSS
GNSS receivers need accurate satellite position data from at least four satellites to produce
a fix.
Accurate satellite data -ephemeris data- is valid for 4 hours only for GPS and 30 minutes
only for GLONASS.
After that time, a receiver must download new ephemeris data.
Ephemeris download can take from dozens of seconds to several minutes, hours or may fail
to download.
Assisted-GNSS is a mechanism to provide ephemeris assistance from external source, this
reduces considerably the time to get fix especially in critical environments when the
ephemeris download time could be very long.
Teseo-LIV3R supports the Reat-Time Assisted GNSS.
4.1 RealTime AGNSS
RealTime Assisted GNSS (RT-AGNSS) is a server based Assisted GNSS solution,
therefore it requires a network connection to download assistance data from the server.
RT-AGNSS works by downloading from an assistance server the real time ephemeris data.
Server access is allowed thanks to internal keyword provided by Teseo-LIV3R to the Host
processor and the acquired real-time data has to be provided to Teseo-LIV3R.
Proprietary NMEA commands are supported on Teseo-LIV3R to acquire the credential
access to the external server and to inject the data to Teseo-LIV3R.
STMicroelectronics partner provides available server solution access for free on Teseo-
LIV3R solution.
RealTime A-GNSS allows continuous real-time satellite position determination.
Clock generation Teseo-LIV3R
12/29 DS12821 Rev 1
5 Clock generation
5.1 Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO)
Highly stable 26 MHz oscillator controls the down conversion process in RF block of the
Teseo-LIV3R. Characteristics of this component are important factors for higher sensitivity
to maximize performance especially in weak-signal environments, as well as to minimize
TTFF (Time To First Fix) and improve navigation stability.
5.2 Real Time Clock (RTC)
This is an always-on power domain dedicated to RTC logic (backup system) with 32 KB
SRAM and supplied with a dedicated voltage regulator.
The RTC provides a high resolution clock which can be used for GPS. It keeps the time
when the system is inactive and it is internally used to wake up the system when in low
power mode. It has a clock trimming feature to compensate for the accuracy of the
32.768 KHz crystal and a secured time update.
DS12821 Rev 1 13/29
Teseo-LIV3R I/O interfaces
27
6 I/O interfaces
Teseo-LIV3R supports two I/O interfaces:
UART
I2C
Both these interfaces support NMEA protocol.
6.1 UART
The Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) supports much of the
functionality of the industry-standard 16C650 UART.
The UART performs serial-to-parallel conversion on data asynchronously received from a
peripheral device on RX0 pin, and parallel-to-serial conversion on data written by CPU for
transmission on TX0 pin. The transmit and receive paths are buffered with internal FIFO
memories allowing up to 64 data byte for transmission, and 64 data byte with 4-bit status
(break, frame, parity, and overrun) for receive.
6.2 I2C
Teseo-LIV3R includes a slave I2C interface configurable; I2C is a two-wire communication
interface invented by Philips Semiconductor.
Unlike all other interfaces, I2C is not able to communicate in full-duplex mode; it uses only
two bidirectional open-drain lines, Serial Data Line on pin SDA and Serial Clock Line on pin
SCL, pulled up with resistors.
Teseo-LIV3R receiver always acts as slave and it cannot initiate data transmission on the
bus; host has to periodically pull the receiver to check about data availability.
The main features are:
Normal speed (100 KHz) and Fast speed (400 KHz) supported
I2C-slave address configurable using the firmware configurator
FW configuration Teseo-LIV3R
14/29 DS12821 Rev 1
7 FW configuration
All configuration parameters are grouped in a data block. Each field is addressed by a
unique ID. The IDs are made by three digits: the most significant one represents the
parameter type and the others are used to identify different parameters of the same type.
Default setting of configuration data block is hard coded into the binary image file.
A new configuration can be built using the PC Tool Teseo-Suite, available at www.st.com or
using runtime configuration commands raised by the host.
Teseo-LIV3R firmware configuration is maintained until voltage supply on VBAT pin (6) is
provided.
DS12821 Rev 1 15/29
Teseo-LIV3R Power mode
27
8 Power mode
Standby mode, is the mode where only low power backup domain is running. It means
VBAT must be always maintained. It allows to have very low current consumption and fast
GNSS reacquisition at the end of the standby time due to RTC.
Teseo-LIV3R offers two different ways of standby:
Hardware standby
Software standby
8.1 Hardware standby
This standby is ensured by switching OFF VCC (pin 6) and VCC_IO (pin 7) supplies and
setting SYS_RESETn (pin 9) to 0 V. It can be activated asynchronously from GNSS binary
with one GPIO switching OFF the supplies from a host.
During this standby only VBAT (pin 6) is kept ON.
It ensures a current below 6 µA. During this standby mode VCC_RF (pin 14) is OFF.
8.2 Software standby
Software standby is activated by the internal binary.
Software standby can be:
Host driven standby: where the host sends a NMEA commands to force Teseo-LIV3R
into standby; host can woken up by Teseo-LIV3R using the Wakeup pin (pin 5);
Periodic standby: where Teseo-LIV3R enters and exits from standby using internal
RTC. Periodic fixes are from 5 seconds up to 24 hours between 2 fixes.
It ensures a current below 12 µA on Teseo-LIV3R. Be careful that VCC_RF is ON during this
standby. In case of active antenna or external LNA, it is important to switch them OFF.
Geofencing Teseo-LIV3R
16/29 DS12821 Rev 1
9 Geofencing
Geofence feature allows the Teseo-LIV3R receiver to raise an autonomous NMEA message
when the resolved GNSS position is close to a specific circle, entering or exiting from a
circle.
Teseo-LIV3R receiver supports at least 8 circular areas.
Geofencing alarm can be notified over proprietary NMEA message.
Geofencing can be configured and enabled in the firmware configurator or using the specific
geofencing configuration command.
DS12821 Rev 1 17/29
Teseo-LIV3R Odometer
27
10 Odometer
Teseo-LIV3Rreceiver supports Odometer feature.
Odometer provides information on the traveled distance using only positioning information.
Odometer can be configured using specific odometer commands during the runtime.
While enabled the odometer reports the ground distance from the last reset.
Odometer is also able to raise an autonomous message alarm when a programmed
distance is reached.
