.. _SM_AT_GNSS: GNSS AT commands **************** .. contents:: :local: :depth: 2 This page describes GNSS-related AT commands. Control GNSS #XGNSS =================== The ``#XGNSS`` command controls the GNSS. Set command ----------- The set command allows you to start and stop the GNSS module. Both the `nRF Cloud A-GNSS`_ service and the `nRF Cloud P-GPS`_ service can be used with the module, either together or independently of each other. Using them reduces the time it takes the GNSS module to estimate its position. To use either of them, the device must be connected to nRF Cloud (using the :ref:`#XNRFCLOUD ` AT command) when starting the GNSS module. In addition, the following Kconfig options must be enabled: * ``CONFIG_NRF_CLOUD_AGNSS`` to use A-GNSS. * ``CONFIG_NRF_CLOUD_PGPS`` to use P-GPS. This also requires applying the :file:`overlay-pgps.overlay` devicetree overlay to both the application and the ``mcuboot`` image (using the absolute path for the latter). If both assistive services were enabled during compilation, you cannot choose to use only one of them at run time. Syntax ~~~~~~ :: AT#XGNSS=,,[,] * The ```` parameter can have the following integer values: * ``0`` - Stop the GNSS module. In this case, no other parameter is allowed. * ``1`` - Start the GNSS module. * ```` parameter is an integer that indicates whether to use the nRF Cloud assistive services that were enabled during compilation. It is ``0`` for disabled or ``1`` for enabled. * ```` parameter is an integer that indicates the GNSS fix interval in seconds. It can have one of the following values: * ``0`` - Single-fix navigation mode. * ``1`` - Continuous navigation mode. The fix interval is set to 1 second. * Ranging from ``10`` to ``65535`` - Periodic navigation mode. The fix interval is set to the specified value. * ``timeout`` is an integer that indicates the maximum time in seconds that the GNSS receiver is allowed to run while trying to produce a valid Position, Velocity, and Time (PVT) estimate. It can only be specified in single-fix and periodic navigation modes, and must be omitted in continuous navigation mode. If omitted in single-fix or periodic navigation modes, the default value is 60 seconds. It can be one of the following: * ``0`` - The GNSS receiver runs indefinitely until a valid PVT estimate is produced. * Any positive integer - The GNSS receiver is turned off after the specified time is up, even if a valid PVT estimate was not produced. In periodic navigation mode, the ```` and ```` parameters are temporarily ignored during the first fix. .. note:: When ```` is disabled, no request is made to nRF Cloud for assistance data. However, if it has been previously enabled and used, such data may remain locally available and will be used if still valid. .. note:: Make sure that the GNSS antenna is configured properly. This can be achieved two ways: * Using the ``CONFIG_MODEM_ANTENNA_AT_MAGPIO`` and ``CONFIG_MODEM_ANTENNA_AT_COEX0`` Kconfig options. * By issuing the ``%XMAGPIO`` and ``%XCOEX0`` AT commands manually at run time. .. tip:: When the LTE link is enabled, make sure to have either Power Saving Mode (PSM) or extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX) enabled to give the GNSS receiver the time it needs to acquire fixes. .. tip:: Enable the ``CONFIG_SM_LOG_LEVEL_DBG`` Kconfig option if you have trouble acquiring fixes. It makes the application print NMEA and PVT data when trying to acquire fixes, which can be of help when solving the issue. .. note:: See the documentation for the `nRF Cloud A-GNSS`_ and `nRF Cloud P-GPS`_ libraries for information on how to best configure and use A-GNSS and P-GPS, respectively. .. note:: When using P-GPS, make sure that the value of the :ref:`CONFIG_SM_PGPS_INJECT_FIX_DATA ` Kconfig option matches your use case. It is enabled by default but should be disabled if the device is expected to move distances longer than a few dozen kilometers between fix attempts. .. note:: When using P-GPS, apply the :file:`overlay-pgps.overlay` devicetree overlay to both the application and the ``mcuboot`` image to provide a dedicated flash partition for P-GPS prediction data storage and to ensure MCUboot operates with the same partition layout. The absolute path to the overlay file must be provided when passing it to the ``mcuboot`` image using :makevar:`mcuboot_EXTRA_DTC_OVERLAY_FILE`. See :ref:`sm_config_files` for more information. As an alternative to GNSS-based positioning, see :ref:`#XNRFCLOUDPOS ` for cellular and Wi-Fi® positioning. Unsolicited notification ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ``#XGNSSPOS`` notification indicates that a new position fix has been acquired. .. code-block:: #XGNSSPOS: ,,,,,, * The ```` parameter represents the latitude in degrees. * The ```` parameter represents the longitude in degrees. * The ```` parameter represents the altitude above the WGS-84 ellipsoid in meters. * The ```` parameter represents the accuracy (2D 1-sigma) in meters. * The ```` parameter represents the horizontal speed in meters per second. * The ```` parameter represents the heading of the movement of the user in degrees. * The ```` parameter represents the UTC date-time. ``#XGNSS`` notification indicates GNSS status. .. sm_gps_status_notif_start .. code-block:: #XGNSS: , * The ```` parameter is an integer. When it has the value ``1``, it means that GNSS is supported in ``%XSYSTEMMODE`` and activated in ``+CFUN``. * The ```` parameter is an integer. It can have the following values: * ``0`` - GNSS is stopped. * ``1`` - GNSS is started. * ``2`` - GNSS wakes up in periodic mode. * ``3`` - GNSS enters sleep because of timeout. * ``4`` - GNSS enters sleep because a fix is acquired. .. sm_gps_status_notif_end Example ~~~~~~~ Get GNSS fix in GNSS only mode: :: AT%XSYSTEMMODE=0,0,1,0 OK AT+CFUN=31 OK AT#XGNSS=1,0,0,0 #XGNSS: 1,1 OK #XGNSSPOS: 35.457576,139.625090,121.473785,22.199919,0.442868,0.000000,"2021-06-02 06:25:48" #XGNSS: 1,4 Set PSM and eDRX configurations, use GNSS assistance from nRF Cloud and get GNSS fixes in continuous navigation mode: :: AT%XSYSTEMMODE=1,0,1,0 OK AT+CPSMS=1,,,"00000001","00000011" OK AT+CEDRXS=2,4,"0011" OK AT+CFUN=1 OK +CEDRXP: 4,"0011","0011","0011" AT#XNRFCLOUD=1 OK #XNRFCLOUD: 1,0 AT#XGNSS=1,1,1 #XGNSS: 1,1 OK #XGNSSPOS: 35.457417,139.625211,162.850952,15.621976,1.418092,0.000000,"2021-06-02 05:21:31" #XGNSSPOS: 35.457435,139.625348,176.104797,14.245458,1.598184,69.148659,"2021-06-02 05:21:32" #XGNSSPOS: 35.457417,139.625415,179.132980,13.318132,1.235241,69.148659,"2021-06-02 05:21:33" #XGNSSPOS: 35.457410,139.625469,181.223541,12.667312,0.803951,69.148659,"2021-06-02 05:21:34" AT#XGNSS=0 OK #XGNSS: 1,0 Set PSM and eDRX configurations, use GNSS assistance from nRF Cloud and get GNSS fixes in periodic navigation mode every 10 seconds: :: AT%XSYSTEMMODE=1,0,1,0 OK AT+CPSMS=1,,,"00000001","00000011" OK AT+CEDRXS=2,4,"0011" OK AT+CFUN=1 OK AT#XNRFCLOUD=1 OK #XNRFCLOUD: 1,0 AT#XGNSS=1,1,10 #XGNSS: 1,1 OK #XGNSS: 1,2 #XGNSSPOS: 35.457243,139.625435,149.005020,28.184258,10.431827,281.446014,"2021-06-24 04:35:52" #XGNSS: 1,4 #XGNSS: 1,2 #XGNSSPOS: 35.457189,139.625602,176.811203,43.015198,0.601837,281.446014,"2021-06-24 04:36:32" #XGNSS: 1,4 #XGNSS: 1,2 #XGNSSPOS: 35.457498,139.625422,168.243591,31.753956,0.191195,281.446014,"2021-06-24 04:37:12" #XGNSS: 1,4 #XGNSS: 1,2 #XGNSSPOS: 35.457524,139.624667,100.745979,25.324850,6.347160,94.699837,"2021-06-24 04:37:52" #XGNSS: 1,4 AT#XGNSS=0 #XGNSS: 1,0 OK Read command ------------ The read command allows you to check GNSS support and its status.

Example ~~~~~~~ :: AT#XGNSS=? #XGNSS: (0,1),(0,1),, OK Delete GNSS data #XGNSSDEL ========================== The ``#XGNSSDEL`` command deletes GNSS data from non-volatile memory. This command should be issued when GNSS is activated but not started yet. .. note:: This is a debug feature, and is not supposed to be used in production code. Set command ----------- The set command allows you to delete cached GNSS data. Using this command does not trigger A-GNSS nor P-GPS data request events. The execution of this command may delay the full functionality of A-GNSS and P-GPS until the next periodic data request has been received. Syntax ~~~~~~ :: AT#XGNSSDEL= The ```` parameter accepts an integer that is a bitwise ``OR`` of the following bitmasks: * ``0x001`` - Ephemerides * ``0x002`` - Almanacs (excluding leap second and ionospheric correction) * ``0x004`` - Ionospheric correction parameters * ``0x008`` - Last good fix (the last position) * ``0x010`` - GPS time-of-week (TOW) * ``0x020`` - GPS week number * ``0x040`` - Leap second (UTC parameters) * ``0x100`` - Precision estimate of GPS time-of-week (TOW) * ``0x400`` - Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) state (last position/velocity/time solution) For example, the integer value with all of the above bits enabled will be ``1407`` (``0x57f``).
