Getting started with the GOOSE Embedded Platform Version3 - Fraunhofer-IIS/ogre GitHub Wiki

This page explains a step wise procedure to setup the GOOSE embedded platform V3 for initial tests.

Note: The same steps apply for GOOSE embedded platform V1 and V2 also, the only difference is in the interface connections.

Components

1. GOOSE embedded platform V3
2. Power supply 12 Volts, 2 Ampere
3. USB 2.0 cable (Serial control interface)

Interfaces

Power supply connection

• Take care of red dots

Serial control cable connection

Connect other end of USB with Linux PC

Plug in Power supply

Connect Antenna

Connect Ethernet cable

Serial connection with Linux PC

• Use the picocom command in Linux to connect with the serial control interface as: picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0

  

  • In this example port ttyUSB0 is detected by the kernel. Here is a quick method to check which port is detected by the kernel. After plugging in the USB cable, you just issue: dmesg | grep tty. This will output the tty devices detected by the kernel, in the order that they were detected and with a time stamp.

Turn ON the receiver

Kernel booting

1. Kernel booting starts as:

2. Kernel booting completes as:

Initial tests to check if everything works fine

• Enable the antenna power, if the antenna requires. The output is 4.5V DC, max. 80 -100 mA. It is disabled by default. Over-current is indicated by the LED on the front-end board (V603). To enable the power type: antenna_power_on

• Disable the antenna power, if the antenna is already connected with power or does not require power. To disable the antenna power type: antenna_power_off

• Print the HW/SW version of the platform by typing: print_version

  • 

• Test if GNSS satellites can be acquired by typing: acquire_os -9.58e6 L1 lsb f type acquire_os --help for details

  • 

• Acquisition results for GPS L1 with roof antenna, using the above command:

Safely shutdown the system

• Type shutdown -h now as:

  • 

• Kernal pannic at the end (current problem)
