Typedefs

typedef void (*nrf_modem_gnss_event_handler_type_t)(int event)

Event handler prototype.

Param event:

[in] Event ID, see Event type enumerator.

Functions

int32_t nrf_modem_gnss_event_handler_set(nrf_modem_gnss_event_handler_type_t handler)

Sets the GNSS event handler.

This function is used to set the function that handles events from GNSS.

Note

The event handler is executed in interrupt context so a lot of processing inside the handler may have performance implications and side effects. It’s recommended to use the handler only for signaling or re-scheduling processing to a separate thread. Data can be read at any time while GNSS is running, the events are only signaling that the data has been updated.

Parameters:

• handler – [in] Pointer to the event handler function or NULL.

Return values:

0 – on success.

int32_t nrf_modem_gnss_signal_mask_set(uint8_t signal_mask)

Default value: All signals supported by the modem firmware are enabled

Note

GPS L1 C/A can’t be disabled and remains enabled even if the corresponding bit is not set.

Parameters:

• signal_mask – [in] Signal bitmask, see GNSS signal bitmask values.

Return values:

• 0 – on success.

int32_t nrf_modem_gnss_fix_interval_set(uint16_t fix_interval)

Sets the GNSS fix interval in seconds.

Single fix navigation mode is engaged by setting the fix interval to 0.

Continuous navigation mode is engaged by setting fix interval to 1.

Periodic navigation mode is engaged by setting the fix interval to value 10…65535. The unit is seconds.

Default value: 1 (continuous navigation)

Note

In periodic navigation mode, when GNSS determines it needs to download ephemerides or almanacs from the broadcast, the fix interval and fix retry parameters are temporarily ignored. GNSS will perform scheduled downloads until it has downloaded the data it needs, after which normal operation is resumed.

Parameters:

• fix_interval – [in] 0 for single fix, 1 for continuous navigation or fix interval in seconds.

Return values:

• 0 – on success.

• -NRF_EPERM – The Modem library is not initialized.

• -NRF_EACCES – GNSS is not enabled in system or functional mode.

int32_t nrf_modem_gnss_fix_retry_set(uint16_t fix_retry)

Sets the GNSS fix retry period in seconds.

Fix retry parameter controls the maximum time the GNSS receiver is allowed to run while trying to produce a valid PVT estimate. If the fix retry time is non-zero, the GNSS receiver is turned off after the fix retry time is up regardless of whether a valid PVT estimate was produced or not. If fix retry parameter is set to zero, the GNSS receiver is allowed to run indefinitely until a valid PVT estimate is produced.

Default value: 60s

Note

For the first fix in periodic navigation mode the GNSS receiver is allowed to run for 60 seconds even if the retry interval is set shorter.

Note

Fix retry has no effect in continuous navigation mode.

Parameters:

• fix_retry – [in] Fix retry period in seconds.

Return values:

• 0 – on success.

int32_t nrf_modem_gnss_timing_source_set(uint8_t timing_source)

Sets the used timing source during GNSS sleep.

Using TCXO instead of RTC during GNSS sleep periods might be beneficial when used with 1PPS. When GNSS is not running all the time (periodic navigation or duty cycling is used), 1PPS accuracy can be improved by using TCXO.

int32_t nrf_modem_gnss_prio_mode_enable(void)

Enables GNSS priority over LTE idle mode procedures.

GNSS can produce a cold start fix when there are long enough gaps in LTE idle mode operations. LTE idle eDRX cycles approximately 1 min and above will usually guarantee the ability to produce a fix. Shorter DRX cycles will be enough after GNSS has got ephemerides. GNSS priority can be enabled to help getting GNSS into that state, if there are not long enough gaps in LTE idle mode functionality. Priority for GNSS should be used only when fix has been blocked by LTE idle mode operations, which can be detected by NRF_MODEM_GNSS_PVT_FLAG_NOT_ENOUGH_WINDOW_TIME bit being set in the PVT data frame flags member. The application should not make the decision based on a single PVT event, but should enable priority only in case this flag has been set in several consecutive PVT events. Priority will be disabled automatically after producing the first fix.

Note

GNSS priority may interfere with LTE operations, if possible it would be good to time the use of priority to moments where data transfer is not anticipated. In general, long enough eDRX cycles, or PSM, will ensure better functionality for both GNSS and LTE.

Note

Priority will not stop LTE connections.

Return values:

• 0 – on success.

• -NRF_EPERM – The Modem library is not initialized.

• -NRF_EACCES – GNSS is not enabled in system or functional mode.

• -NRF_EINVAL – The GNSS stack returned an error or the operation cannot be executed while GNSS is stopped.

NRF_MODEM_GNSS_PVT_FLAG_NOT_ENOUGH_WINDOW_TIME

Average time windows granted to GNSS may be too short.

Indicates that the inability to produce a valid PVT estimate is likely caused by too short GNSS time windows. Usually this happens when eDRX and/or PSM are not used, because LTE needs to monitor pagings from the network with a short interval.

NRF_MODEM_GNSS_PVT_FLAG_VELOCITY_VALID

The velocity estimate is valid.

Power save modes

group nrf_modem_gnss_power_save_modes

Use these values to select which power save mode GNSS should use. This only affects continuous navigation mode. When GNSS engages duty-cycled tracking, it only tracks for 20% of time and spends the rest of the time in sleep. The different modes control how aggressively GNSS engages duty-cycled tracking, but the duty-cycling itself is the same with both modes.

Defines

NRF_MODEM_GNSS_PSM_DISABLED

No power save mode is enabled.

NRF_MODEM_GNSS_PSM_DUTY_CYCLING_PERFORMANCE

Enables duty-cycling performance policy power save mode.

Use case bitmask values

group nrf_modem_gnss_use_case_bitmask

Use these bit values to select which use case mode GNSS should use. A use case mode is a combination of the values of all of the bits.

Defines

NRF_MODEM_GNSS_USE_CASE_MULTIPLE_HOT_START

Multiple hot starts performance mode.

Note

This is the only start mode currently supported, but the bit should always be set when setting the use-case modes to keep the code compliant with future versions of the modem firmware.

NRF_MODEM_GNSS_USE_CASE_LOW_ACCURACY

Low accuracy fixes allowed.

The error in position calculation can be larger than in normal accuracy mode. In addition, GNSS might only use three satellites to determine a fix, while in normal accuracy mode at least four satellites are used.

NRF_MODEM_GNSS_USE_CASE_SCHED_DOWNLOAD_DISABLE

Disable scheduled downloads.

By default, in periodic navigation mode, when GNSS determines it needs to download ephemerides or almanacs from the broadcast, the fix interval and fix retry parameters are temporarily ignored. GNSS will perform scheduled downloads until it has downloaded the data it needs, after which normal operation is resumed.

When this bit is set, scheduled downloads are disabled. This is recommended when A-GNSS is used to supply assistance data to the GNSS. It is also possible to use this option without A-GNSS, but it should be noted that in that case GNSS will never get some data (for example ionospheric corrections), which may affect the accuracy.

Sleep timing sources

group nrf_modem_gnss_timing_source

Used to select which sleep timing source GNSS uses.

Using TCXO instead of RTC during GNSS sleep periods might be beneficial when used with 1PPS. When GNSS is not running all the time (periodic navigation or duty-cycling is used), 1PPS accuracy can be improved by using TCXO. It may also improve sensitivity for periodic navigation when the fix interval is short.

Note

Use of TCXO significantly raises the idle current consumption.

Defines

NRF_MODEM_GNSS_TIMING_SOURCE_RTC

Real time clock (RTC).

NRF_MODEM_GNSS_TIMING_SOURCE_TCXO

Temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO).

QZSS NMEA modes

The maximum speeds listed below are for modem firmware v2.0.0 or later. For older modem firmware versions, the assumed maximum speed for all modes is 100 km/h.

The maximum speed is not a hard limit, but if the receiver speed is higher than the assumed maximum speed for the selected mode, GNSS will operate with suboptimal predictions.

The thread is woken by a nrf_modem_event_notify call with the same context parameter, or after the timeout has expired, whichever happens first. If the timeout has not expired, the timeout parameter is updated to contain the amount of time left to sleep.

Parameters:

• context – Library context.

• timeout – [inout] Timeout in milliseconds, or NRF_MODEM_OS_FOREVER for no timeout. Specifies the timeout value on input and the remaining time to sleep on output.

Return values:

• 0 – The thread is woken before the timeout expired.

• -NRF_EAGAIN – The timeout expired.

• -NRF_ESHUTDOWN – Modem is not initialized, or was shut down.

void nrf_modem_os_event_notify(uint32_t context)

Notify the application that an event has occurred.

This function wakes up all threads sleeping in nrf_modem_os_timedwait that have the same context, or all sleeping threads if context is zero.

Parameters:

• context – Library context.

int nrf_modem_os_sleep(uint32_t timeout)

Put a thread to sleep for a specific amount of time.

Parameters:

• timeout – Timeout in millisec.

Returns:

0 on success, a negative errno otherwise.

void nrf_modem_os_errno_set(int errno_val)

Set errno.

Parameters:

• errno_val – errno to set.

bool nrf_modem_os_is_in_isr(void)

Check if executing in interrupt context.

Return values:

• true – If in interrupt context.

• false – If not in interrupt context.

int nrf_modem_os_sem_init(void **sem, unsigned int initial_count, unsigned int limit)

Initialize a semaphore.

The function shall allocate and initialize a semaphore and return its address as an output. If an address of an already allocated semaphore is provided as an input, the allocation part is skipped and the semaphore is only reinitialized.

Parameters:

• sem – [inout] The address of the semaphore.

• initial_count – Initial semaphore count.

• limit – Maximum semaphore count.

Returns:

0 on success, a negative errno otherwise.

void nrf_modem_os_sem_give(void *sem)

Give a semaphore.

Note

Can be called from an ISR.

Parameters:

• sem – The semaphore.

int nrf_modem_os_sem_take(void *sem, int timeout)

Take a semaphore.

Note

timeout shall be set to NRF_MODEM_OS_NO_WAIT if called from ISR.

Parameters:

• sem – The semaphore.

• timeout – Timeout in milliseconds. NRF_MODEM_OS_FOREVER indicates infinite timeout. NRF_MODEM_OS_NO_WAIT indicates no timeout.

Return values:

• 0 – on success.

• -NRF_EAGAIN – If the semaphore could not be taken.

unsigned int nrf_modem_os_sem_count_get(void *sem)

Get a semaphore’s count.

Parameters:

• sem – The semaphore.

Returns:

Current semaphore count.

void nrf_modem_os_log(int level, const char *fmt, ...)

Generic logging procedure.

Parameters:

• level – Log level.

• fmt – Format string.

• ... – Varargs.

void nrf_modem_os_logdump(int level, const char *str, const void *data, size_t len)

Logging procedure for dumping hex representation of object.

Parameters:

• level – Log level.

• str – String to print in the log.

• data – Data whose hex representation we want to log.

• len – Length of the data to hex dump.
