Getting started with the GOOSE Embedded Platform Version3

Muhammad Saad edited this page May 7, 2020 · 15 revisions

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) GOOSE_Embedded_V3_components

Interfaces

GOOSE_Embedded_V3_interfaces

Power supply connection

  • Take care of red dots GOOSE_Embedded_V3_power_conn

Serial control cable connection

GOOSE_Embedded_V3_serial

Connect other end of USB with Linux PC

GOOSE_Embedded_V3_ser_ctrl

Plug in Power supply

GOOSE_Embedded_V3_power_supply

Connect Antenna

GOOSE_Embedded_V3_antenna

Connect Ethernet cable

GOOSE_Embedded_V3_ethernet

Serial connection with Linux PC

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

    GOOSE_Embedded_picocom

    • 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

GOOSE_Embedded_power_on

Kernel booting

  1. Kernel booting starts as: GOOSE_Embedded_booting_starts

  2. Kernel booting completes as:

GOOSE_Embedded_booting_complete

Login details

  • goose login: root
    • GOOSE_Embedded_booting_complete
  • password: root
    • GOOSE_Embedded_booting_complete
  • After logged in:
    • GOOSE_Embedded_booting_complete

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

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

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

    • GOOSE_Embedded_booting_complete

Receiver output using Graphical User Interface (GUI)

  • If it is desired to see the PVT, sky plot and signal information via Graphical User Interface (GUI) follow the wiki page GooseGUI

Safely shutdown the system

  • Type shutdown -h now as:

    • GOOSE_Embedded_booting_complete
  • Kernal pannic at the end (current problem)

    • GOOSE_Embedded_kernel_pannic_shutdown
