1 Introduction
The C099-F9P board is a convenient tool that allows customers to become familiar with the u-blox
ZED-F9P high precision GNSS module. The board provides facilities for evaluating the product and
demonstrating its key features. The C099-F9P application board offers:
• A ZED-F9P module for use as an RTK rover or reference station
• An ODIN-W2 short-range module with Arm®
Mbed™ firmware
• Power supply options comprising a USB connection, Li-Po (lithium polymer) cell with recharging
ability, and 5-12 V DC input
• Small, lightweight board (110 x 55 mm) with Arduino R3/Uno shield connections for host
expansion
This user guide describes the following use cases:
1. Base and rover operation via serial connectivity
2. Rover operation via Bluetooth Classic (with ODIN-W2 Mbed FW)
3. Rover operation via Wi-Fi (with ODIN-W2 Mbed FW)
4. Base and rover operation via Wi-Fi (with ODIN-W2 Mbed FW)
This user guide is split into several useful sections, including:
• Section 2: C099-F9P quick start provides information on how to get C099-F9P up and running
straight out of the box.
• Section 3: C099-F9P description identifies the board’s facilities.
• Section 4: Using C099-F9P provides a comprehensive guide for in-depth usage.
• Section 5: Rover operation using NTRIP shows different ways of connecting to an NTRIP service.
• Section 6: Wireless communication describes the use case of connecting base and rover boards.
• Section 7: Firmware update provides instructions for updating the firmware of the ZED-F9P high
precision GNSS module as well as the ODIN-W2 short-range module.
• Section 8: Arduino header connections provide mechanical specifications for Arduino R3/Uno.
• The sections in the Appendix provide information on how to upload the ODIN-W2 firmware via
JTAG, C099-F9P antenna schematics, and C099-F9P mechanical board dimensions and
schematics.
