NEO-F10N - Integration manual
2 Receiver configuration
The configuration determines all aspects of the GNSS receiver operation and therefore, information
in this section is essential for the successful integration of NEO-F10N.
NEO-F10N is configured using UBX configuration interface keys. The configuration database in
the receiver's RAM holds the current configuration, which is used by the receiver at runtime. It is
constructed at the receiver startup from several sources of configuration. For more information on
receiver configuration, see the interface description [
3 ].
The configuration can be stored in the RAM, battery-backed RAM (BBR), and flash memory. The
permanence of the stored configuration and the actions to clear it in each memory are listed in
Table
2 .
Memory Permanence of storage Clearing actions
RAM Settings remain effective until
power-down • Activating the RESET_N pin
• A UBX-CFG-RST message excluding GNSS stop (resetMode 0x08)
and GNSS start (resetMode 0x09)
• Entering software standby mode
BBR The receiver retains the settings
stored as long as the backup power
supply remains • Activating the RESET_N pin
• A UBX-CFG-RST message with reset mode set to a hardware reset
(resetMode 0x00 and 0x04)
Flash Permanent storage of the
configuration settings • A UBX-CFG-CFG message to erase the configuration on the flash
layer
Table 2: Permanence of storage and clearing actions for each memory
It is recommended to apply runtime configuration on both RAM and BBR or flash memory layers. For
more information about the UBX-CFG-RST message, refer to
Forcing receiver reset .
CAUTION The configuration interface has changed from earlier u-blox positioning receivers.
Users must adopt the configuration interface described in this document.
The configuration interface settings are stored in a database consisting of separate configuration
items. An item is made up of a pair consisting of a key ID and a value. Related items are grouped
together and identified under a common group name: CFG-GROUP-*; a convention used in u-center
2 and within this document. Within u-center 2, a configuration group is identified as "Group name"
and the configuration item is identified as the "item name" in the "Device configuration" window.
The UBX messages available to change or poll the configurations are the UBX-CFG-VALSET, UBX-
CFG-VALGET, and UBX-CFG-VALDEL messages. For more information about these messages and
the configuration keys, see the configuration interface section in the Interface description [
3 ].
