Introduction 

1.1

 

Overview 

The  C94-M8P  application  board  package  provides  the  means  for  efficient  integration  and  evaluation  of 
NEO-M8P, u-blox’s M8 high precision GNSS modules.  

The NEO-M8P module series introduces the concept of a “Rover” and a “Base Station”. By using a data stream 
from  the  Base  Station,  the  Rover  can  output  its  relative  position  with  stunning  cm-level  accuracy  in  good 
environments.  

The  C94-M8P  board  integrates  the  NEO-M8P-2  module  with  both  Base  Station  and  Rover  functionality.  The 
C94-M8P  includes  a  UHF  radio  link,  allowing  for  easy  setup  and  fast  prototyping.  The  board  also  provides 
connector pins for u-blox C027 and other application boards, enabling communication alternatives using u-blox 
cellular and short-range technologies. 

The C94-M8P application board package comes in four variants, each with an individually configured radio link 
to meet different radio frequency requirements in different regions:  

 

C94-M8P-1-10 for China (433 MHz) 

 

C94-M8P-2-10 for USA and Canada (915 MHz) 

 

C94-M8P-3-10 or C94-M8P-3-10 for Europe (433 MHz) 

 

C94-M8P-4-10 for Japan (920 Mhz) 

A  label  showing  the  application  variant  (ordering  code)  is  located  at  the  top-right  corner  of  the  board.  For 
information about variants with the old board version (C94-M8P-1-00, C94-M8P-2-00 and C94-M8P-3-00) refer 
to 

Appendix D.1.

 

1.2

 

C94-M8P package includes 

The C94-M8P package includes:  

 

2 application boards (both with a NEO-M8P-2 module) 

 

2 external UHF antennas 

 

2 external active GNSS antennas 

 

2 antenna ground planes 

 

2 USB cables 

 

A RF-shield is attached on the top of the radio module. 

 

A plastic enclosure is attached on the top of the GNSS module. The purpose of the enclosure is to prevent 
airflow affecting TCXO performance. 

1.3

 

Software requirements 

 For the instructions and examples in this document, we require the following software: 

 

The latest version of u-center for Windows (currently version 8.24). You can download it from 
https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/c94-m8p  

 

Serial console terminal, for example Putty 

1.4

 

System requirements 

For the instructions and examples in this document, we have the following system requirements: 

 

PC with USB interface  

 

Operating system: Windows Vista onwards (x86 and x64 versions) 

 

GNSS USB drivers are automatically installed when installing u-center.
