Overview
The EVA-M8E module introduces u-blox’s Untethered Dead Reckoning (UDR) technology in the ultra-
compact EVA form factor. EVA offers the designer flexibility in the selection and placement of
peripheral components: EVA-M8E only requires Flash memory, an inertial sensor, and an optional real-
time clock (RTC) crystal. The EVA-M8E’s sensor may be installed in any stable position within the
vehicle without configuration.
The intelligent combination of GNSS and sensor measurements enables accurate, real-time
positioning at rates up to 20 Hz, as needed for smooth and responsive interactive applications. Native
high-rate sensor data can be relayed to the host for applications such as driving behavior analysis or
accident reconstruction.
The EVA-M8E includes u-blox’s latest generation GNSS receiver, which adds Galileo to the multi-
constellation reception that already includes GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and QZSS. The module provides
high sensitivity and fast GNSS signal acquisition and tracking. UART, USB, DDC (I2C compliant) and
SSI interface options provide flexible connectivity and enable simple integration with most u-blox
cellular modules.

For UDR applications, the EVA-M8E must be connected to an external SQI Flash memory and an
external Inertial Measurement Unit. For more information about product features, see the
EVA-M8E Data Sheet [1].
