ST X-NUCLEO-GNSS2A1 User manual

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.

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:

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).

6Regulatory compliance information
Formal Notice Required by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission
FCC NOTICE
This kit is designed to allow:
(1) Product developers to evaluate electronic components, circuitry, or software associated with the kit to
determine whether to incorporate such items in a finished product and
(2) Software developers to write software applications for use with the end product.
This kit is not a finished product and when assembled may not be resold or otherwise marketed unless all
required FCC equipment authorizations are first obtained. Operation is subject to the condition that this product
not cause harmful interference to licensed radio stations and that this product accept harmful interference. Unless
the assembled kit is designed to operate under part 15, part 18 or part 95 of this chapter, the operator of the kit
must operate under the authority of an FCC license holder or must secure an experimental authorization under
part 5 of this chapter 3.1.2.
Formal Product Notice Required by Industry Canada Innovation, Science and Economic Development
Canada compliance:
For evaluation purposes only. This kit generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and has not been
tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to Industry Canada (IC) rules.
À des fins d'évaluation uniquement. Ce kit génère, utilise et peut émettre de l'énergie radiofréquence et n'a pas
été testé pour sa conformité aux limites des appareils informatiques conformément aux règles d'Industrie Canada
(IC).
Formal product notice required by EU
The X-NUCLEO-GNSS2A1 is in conformity with the essential requirements of the Directive 2014/53/EU (RED)
and of the Directive 2015/863/EU (RoHS). Harmonized standards applied are listed in the EU Declaration of
Conformity.
