EC25 Mini PCIe not getting any GPS messages

IoT Modules LTE Standard Module

Hello,

I have a problem using GPS from a EC25 Quectel Mini PCIe Module.

In some cases (around 50%), the module does not send any GPS messages.
So by reading COM 7 (which is the nmea port) I get nothing (see attached screenshot). Sometimes, I works and I can’t figure out why.

Facts:

  • I can’t reproduce the issue to a 100 %, which makes finding the error very hard.
  • I can check through the AT Port (COM8), that the module should be running (AT+QGPS? returns 1).
  • Autogps is enabled. (can be checked through the AT Port)
  • Restarts won’t help: I have to unplug the power supply to maybe get it running
  • The issues happens on different PCs with different modules
  • I can check through the AT Port, that GPS is enabled.
  • I can obtain single GPS positions through the AT+QGPSLOC command, so the module seems to be fine.

Thank you very much for your help!
