 Pin assignment of the JP14-Q

6.3 Configuration and timing signals

M-RST

This   pin   provides   an   active-low   reset   input   to   the  
board.   It   causes   the   board   to   reset   and   to   start 
searching   for   satellites.   If   not   utilized,   this   input   pin  
may be left open.

T-MARK

This pin provides 1 pulse per second output from the  
board, which is synchronized to within 1 microsecond 
of GPS time. The output is a CMOS level signal. 

BOOTSEL

Set this Pin to high (+3.3 V DC) for reprogramming the 
flash of the JP14-R-LP/Q-LP (for instance updating a 
new firmware for the JP14-R-LP/Q-LP).

6.4 Serial communication signals

The   board   supports   two   full   duplex   serial   channels.   All   serial   connections   are   at 
CMOS level. If you need different voltage levels, use appropriate level shifter, (e.g. 
MAX 3232 from Maxim) in order to obtain RS232 compatible signal levels (see also 
chapter   9).   All   supported   baud   rates   can   be   controlled   from   the   appropriate 
screens in SiRFdemo software. You can directly communicate with it through a PC 
serial port.

SDI1

This   is   the   main   receiving   channel   and   is   used   to 
receive   software   commands   to   the   board   from  
SiRFdemo software or from user written software.

SDI2

This is the auxiliary receiving channel and is used to  
input differential corrections to the board to enable  
DGPS   navigation.  

Note   that,   the   current   operating 

firmware does not support DGPS

.

SDO1

This is the main transmitting channel and is used to 
output   navigation   and   measurement   data   to 
SiRFdemo or user written software.

SDO2

 

For user’s application (It is not supported by default 
GSW3.1.0).
