Lassen-SK8 Embedded GPS Module 2-1
2 Hardware Integration
The integration of the Lassen-SK8 receiver module is discussed in two sections: Hardware
Integration and Software Interface. This chapter, Hardware Integration, includes
instructions for mounting the GPS module and physically connecting the module to the
antenna, the host processor, and the power source. Chapter 3, Software Interface, provides
guidelines for configuring the Lassen-SK8 receiver module to communicate with the host
processor.
2.1 The Lassen-SK8 Receiver Module
In the Starter Kit, the Lassen-SK8 receiver module is installed on the interface
motherboard to facilitate testing and evaluation. The receiver module can be detached
from the motherboard for installation into a specific device.
The receiver module is connected to the motherboard at four points: the antenna
connector, the interface connector, and two standoffs (see Figure 2-1). Follow the steps
below to remove the receiver module from the motherboard.
