MAX-M10S - Integration manual
Table 33 presents a summary of the key software-related changes between MAX-M10S and MAX-
M8 modules, as well as required actions during migration.
Feature Change Action needed / Remarks
Default GNSS config
MAX-M10S: GPS, Galileo, BeiDou B1I, QZSS and SBAS.
MAX-M8Q/C/W: GPS, GLONASS, QZSS and SBAS. Code change (optional)
HW change (optional): requires
antenna selection or antenna
frequency tuning and any
additional filtering in the
previous MAX-M8 designs to
support BeiDou B1I.
QZSS-IMES Not supported in ROM SPG 5.10 firmware. Code change (optional)
NMEA Supports NMEA V4.11, V4.10, V4.0, V2.3, and V2.1.
NMEA V4.11 is enabled by default. Code change (optional)
RTCM Not supported in ROM SPG 5.10 firmware. Code change
Geofencing Not supported in ROM SPG 5.10 firmware. Code change
Data logging Not supported in ROM SPG 5.10 firmware. Code change
Cyclic tracking and ON/OFF
power save modes Supported in ROM SPG 5.10 firmware. Code change (to use new
configuration messages)
AssistNow Simultaneous operation of AssistNow Online, Offline
and Autonomous. New AssistNow Offline data download
options are available. The time period can be limited to a
resolution of days to reduce the data package size. Code change (optional)
Location batching New feature that can be used to reduce power
consumption by saving navigation solutions on the
receiver for up to 10 minutes (at 1 Hz) and polling the
solutions afterwards to a host MCU. Code change (optional)
Configuration lock New security feature that is enabled with CFG-
SEC-CFG_LOCK message for locking the receiver
configuration. Code change (optional)
Unique chip identifier The size of the identifier has been increased to 6 bytes in
the UBX-SEC-UNIQID message. Code change
Configuration messages New configuration scheme using UBX-CFG-VALSET and
UBX-CFG-VALGET messages. Code change

Refer to ROM SPG 5.10 release notes and interface description for more information on supported
features and messages in u-blox M10 receiver [
2 ], [ 3 ].
B Reference designs
This section provides some reference designs for typical and antenna supervisor design cases.
Designs with 1.8 V main supply or with independent supply for VCC and V_IO must fulfill
certain requirements when transitioning to hardware backup mode. Refer to
Supply design
examples for more details.
B.1 Typical design
Here are some key features for a MAX-M10S typical design:
• VCC and V_IO are connected together to a single supply. In designs with 3.3 V supply, the VIO_SEL
pin must be left open, as shown in Figure 36 . In designs with 1.8 V supply, the VIO_SEL pin must
be connected to GND, as shown in Figure 37 .
