Overview
The EVK-M8F-0-01 evaluation kit makes evaluating the high performance u-blox M8 time and frequency
reference products simple. The built-in USB interface provides both power supply and high-speed data transfer,
and eliminates the need for an external power supply. Additionally, the two EXTENSION connectors (EXT1 and
EXT2) in the EVK-M8F-0-01 provide access to time and frequency interface signals. u-blox evaluation kits are
compact, and their user friendly interface and power supply make them ideally suited for use in laboratories,
vehicles and outdoor locations. Furthermore, they can be used with a PDA or a notebook PC, making them the
perfect companion through all stages of design-in projects.
