2.5 Forcing receiver reset
Typically in GNSS receivers, a distinction is made between cold, warm, and hot start based on the
type of valid information the receiver has at the time of the restart.
•
Cold start:
In cold start mode, the receiver has no information from the last position (e.g.
time, velocity, frequency etc.) at startup. Therefore, the receiver must search the full time and
frequency space, and all possible satellite numbers. If a satellite signal is found, it is tracked
to decode the ephemeris (18-36 seconds under strong signal conditions), while the other
channels continue to search satellites. Once there is a sufficient number of satellites with
valid ephemeris, the receiver can calculate position and velocity data. Other GNSS receiver
manufacturers call this startup mode Factory startup.
•
Warm start:
In warm start mode, the receiver has approximate information for time, position,
and coarse satellite position data (Almanac). In this mode, the receiver after power-up
normally needs to download ephemeris before it can calculate position and velocity data.
As the ephemeris data usually is outdated after 4 hours, the receiver will typically start with
a warm start if it has been powered down for more than 4 hours. In this scenario, several
augmentations are possible. See
•
Hot start:
In hot start mode, the receiver was powered down only for a short time (4 hours
or less), so that its ephemeris is still valid. Since the receiver does not need to download
ephemeris again, this is the fastest startup method.
Using the UBX-CFG-RST message, you can force the receiver to reset and clear data, in order to see
the effects of maintaining/losing such data between restarts. For this purpose, use the
navBbrMask
field in the UBX-CFG-RST message to initiate hot, warm, and cold starts, or a combination of startup
modes.
The reset type can also be specified. This is not related to GNSS, but to the way the software restarts
the system.

Hardware reset
uses the on-chip watchdog to electrically reset the chip. This is an immediate
asynchronous reset. No stop events are generated.
