The board provides facilities for evaluating the product and demonstrating its key features. NEO-D9C is a QZSS L6 receiver that brings QZSS Centimeter Level Augmentation Service (CLAS) support to u-blox GNSS modules, enabling centimeter-level navigation. The receiver can also track the experimental MADOCA service transmitted on the QZSS L6 signal. The C101-D9C application board offers: • • • • NEO-D9C module for use as QZSS L6 correction data receiver USB connection for communication and power supply L6 antenna connection for receiving the satellite data stream Arduino shield connection 1.1 Package contents The delivered package contains: • • • • • C101-D9C board Multiband antenna (L1/L2/E5b/L6) Antenna ground plane (12 cm circular) USB interconnect cable Jumper connectors Prior to using the board, it is useful to download the appropriate evaluation software and keep handy the documents listed in the Related documents section.

The board is powered from the USB cable connection or via Arduino shield. The main components of the board are listed below and shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2: • • • • • • Native USB port FTDI USB bridge SMA RF connector and antenna supply capability (L-band) UART2 interface through Arduino shield NEO-D9C RESET button NEO-D9C SAFEBOOT button Figure 1: C101-D9C block diagram UBX-21009111 - R02 C1-Public C101-D9C product overview Page 5 of 17 C101-D9C - User guide Figure 2: C101-D9C quick start basic overview 2.2 Jumpers The board is delivered with the following default jumpers: • J6: This jumper provides 3.3 V power supply to an external active antenna plugged to the SMA RF connector. The current limit circuit is also enabled up to 60 mA. • J8: This jumper switches the communication from the UART2 of the NEO-D9C to the UART1 or UART2 of the C099-F9P, when connected via the Arduino shield (refer to section 4.1 for further details). Figure 3: C101-D9C jumpers overview For further details, see the C101-D9C schematic in Appendix C.

The FTDI and USB drivers will be installed automatically from Windows Update when you connect the board for the first time. • The power LED will turn on in blue color. • Start the Device Manager utility from Windows. Two new ports will be visible under the Ports tab: the USB Serial Device is the Native USB port and the USB Serial Port is the FTDI USB bridge port, as shown in Figure 5. Figure 4: Windows Device Manager Ports identifications Figure 5: FTDI USB bridge and USB ports properties • Start u-center and connect to one of the COM ports. If you are using the FTDI USB bridge, make sure the baud rate in u-center is set to 9600. • Poll UBX-MON-VER message and check the content as shown in Figure 6 . Figure 6: UBX-MON-VER message UBX-21009111 - R02 C1-Public C101-D9C standalone operation Page 7 of 17 C101-D9C - User guide • Poll or enable the UBX-RXM-QZSSL6 message to check the received correction data. Figure 7: UBX-RXM-QZSSL6 message For further details regarding the UBX-RXM-QZSSL6 message, see the related Interface description [4].

Figure 9 shows how to interface the C101-D9C board with the C099-F9P board. Two types of connections are available: • USB interface (through PC) • Arduino shield interface (UART2 direct connection) When the USB connection is used, the corrections are provided through the host computer. Security checks and data conversion are the responsibility of the user application, as well as the forwarding of the corrections to the ZED-F9P. Figure 8: C101-D9C - C099-F9P interfacing scheme The provided multiband antenna can be used in combination for ZED-F9P and NEO-D9C, RF signal splitter is needed. For further details, see the antenna specification in Appendix B.

The ZED-F9P receives the correction data on UART2. For further details, see the C101-D9C schematic in Appendix C. UBX protocol needs to be enabled in output on the UART2 interface of the NEO-D9C to allow the communication, using the following configuration item: CFG-UART2OUTPROT-UBX=1 For further details regarding receiver configuration, see the related Interface description [4].
