User interfaces 

The C099-F9P has a number of fixed connection options besides the wireless modes. There is also an 
additional Arduino R3 / Uno interface for external host connection. 

The USB connector on the board provides connection via an on-board hub providing: 

 

An FTDI USB bridge to ZED-F9P UART1 and ODIN-W2 UART COM ports. 

 

Dedicated connection to the ZED-F9P USB port. 

4.3.1

 

FTDI USB bridge 

When the USB cable from the user’s PC is connected, a driver will load and set up two virtual serial 
ports, as shown below in Figure 14.  Additionally, a further serial VCP will be created to provide a direct 
connection with the ZED-F9P USB port. 

 

Ensure that the PC is connected to the internet to load the drivers from Windows Update. 

The first of these is connected to the ZED-F9P serial port and should be selected with u-center. The 
second serial device is for the ODIN-W2 module when using s-center. In Figure  14,  the  ODIN-W2 
connection is the first port (COM 62) and the ZED-F9P connection is the second port (COM 64). Port 
numbering can be different between individual PCs, but the same arrangement applies. 

 

Figure 14: Windows Device Manager COM port view 

In addition, a third VCP will be created corresponding to the ZED-F9P USB port. Windows 10 users will 
see a new VCP device in the Device Manager window when it loads a built-in driver. With older Windows 
installations, a driver will be loaded via Windows Update. In this case the device will be identified as a 
u-blox GNSS device in the Device Manager window. 

Open u-center (V18.12 or later), select the ZED-F9P serial port, and set the baud rate to 460800 to 
match the ZED-F9P default UART setting. Once connected, u-center shows typical received signal 
levels from multiple GNSS bands, see Figure 15 below.
