— ubxtool
ubxtool is an original vendor-supported tool that can make use of u-Blox vendor commands on
support protocol version 29.20 to ZED-F9T-00B. If the 5G deploy environment does not allow
you to use the Desktop environment, you can consider ubxtool as efficient CLI for local and
remote access.
• The default setting of the E810-CQDA2T configuration minimizes NMEA sentence message
for better timing usage. Only “GNRMC” and “GNGGA” are needed for 5G timing usage. For
better understanding of NMEA sentence focus and its purpose, refer to:

• The ZED-F9T-00B module requires protocol 29.20, so it needs ubxtool v3.24+. Use the
following command to double check the ubxtool you install:
# ubxtool -V
ubxtool: Version 3.25.1~dev
• Get u-Blox protocol version for your GNSS device
# ubxtool -t -w 5 -v 1 -p MON-VER

4.15.2 GNSS Receiver Configuration Layers in the E810-XXVDA4T
Once you confirm that gpsd is running, either in the foreground or as a service, ubxtool can be run.
The ubxtool command is capable of using five different “layers” to read from and save configuration.
These layers are:
• 0 - RAM — Responsible for reading configuration on the E810-CQDA2T.
• 1 - Battery Backed RAM (BBR) — Responsible for saving single configuration items on the E810-
CQDA2T.
•2 - Flash Layer
• 5 - RAM, and FLASH — Responsible for saving configuration to two memory types with one
command. Use this layer if you would like to write your configuration settings to RAM and FLASH at
the same time.
