Ublox EVK-M10QSAM User manual

1. Overview 2. Setup
1. Download and install the EVK-M10QSAM / EVK-M8QSAM
/ EVKM8xCAM software (and documentation) from
www.u-blox.com/evk-search.
See installation notes on the back of this card.
2. Connect the unit to a PC. Options:
• USB: Connect via USB port (A). Set switch (B) to
USB. The USB driver installs automatically when
the device is connected to a PC; this requires an
internet connection.
• UART: Connect via RS232 (C). Set switch (B) to
RS232.
NOTE: Press RST (D) after setting switch (B).
3. Provide power to the device at all times, either via USB on
the back or the V5 IN pin on the front (F).
4. EVK-M10QSAM / EVK-M8QSAM: Place the EVK with
an unobstructed view of the sky, no external antenna
connectivity at (E).
5. EVK-M8QCAM / EVK-M8CCAM: Place the EVK with an
unobstructed view of the sky or connect antenna signal
to (E).
6. Start the u-center GNSS evaluation software and select
the corresponding COM port and baud rate.

3. Kit includes
• EVK-M10QSAM, EVK-M8QSAM, EVK-M8QCAM, or
EVK-M8CCAM unit
• USB cable
• Active GPS / Galileo / GLONASS / BeiDou antenna with a
3 m cable (only for EVK-M8xCAM)
5. Interfaces
All the kits provide a USB connector for communication
and powering the device, as well as a UART connector for
connecting to the COM port of your PC.
The DDC interface (I2C compliant) is also available for all
the kits.
Additionally, the EVK-M8xCAM kits support optional SPI
bus connectivity (requires a jumper resistor) to enable com-
munications with a host CPU.
