Getting started with the GOOSE Embedded Platform Version3

This page explains a step wise procedure to setup the GOOSE embedded platform V3 for initial tests. Note: The same steps applies for GOOSE embedded platform V1 and V2 also, the only difference is the interface connections.

Components

• GOOSE embedded platform V3
• Power supply 12 Volts, 2 Ampere
• 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.

• Kernel booting completes as:

Login details.

• password: root
• After logged in:

Initial tests to check if everything works fine.

• 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)
