LC29HEA: Enable GST?

LC29HEA: Enable GST?

Hi @mohamad.firdaus
Is it possible to enable the GST message in the LC29HEA and LC29HEANR11A04S_RSA.bin versions?

If not, could you send me a BETA firmware like the ones you sent me for the LG290p?

I need the GST message for my project.

Thank you.

Regards, Angel

I’ve been searching and it seems there’s a newer version 05, but I can’t find it. Could you send it to me if it exists?

Hi @Dobrica.
Can you confirm if there’s any firmware for the LC29HEA that supports GST?
If there’s a beta version, that would work too.

Please send me the newest firmware you have, even if it’s a BETA version.
Thanks.

Hi @Mohamad.firdaus and @Dobrica

Thinking about how to quickly fix the GST issue.

Is it possible to flash the firmware for the DA model to my EA model?

I’m not worried about losing the 10 Hz if I get the GST message. 1 Hz is enough for me. Is this possible?

If so, I would appreciate it if you could send me the latest firmware for the DA model.

Hi @amlago I have tested and confirmed from my end. GST currently able to configure using DA model and I did flash the DA firmware on EA module. To enable the GST output can execute below command:

$PQTMCFGMSGRATE,W,GST,1*0B
$PQTMSAVEPAR*5A

Snapshot using DA firmware on EA module:

For more information, in the DA firmware version LC29HDANR11A04S_RSA release note, it stated that GST can be enabled as part of new feature releases:

Meanwhile, for EA module, currently to get further clarification from internal team.

I will share you both DA and EA firmware for your usage and testing.

Best regards,

Hi @Mohamad.firdaus.

Thank you very much.

I received your email with the firmware for both models.
I’ll test them and let you know how it works.

Hi @Mohamad.firdaus
I have a question.
When I flash the DA firmware on my EA device, will I have any problems with licenses and permissions in the future?

Please clarify this for me before I proceed with flashing the new firmware.

Thanks

Hi @amlago for now, I highly recommend do not flash the firmware yet. This cross-flashed from our end is for internal verification and testing purposes only. I will get further clarification from the management team on this matter.

Hi @Mohamad.firdaus,
but you said the firmware update worked.

I can wait.

But I just want to know about the licensing. Will they give me another license if something goes wrong?

The truth is, I need access to GST as soon as possible, and I’m willing to sacrifice 10Hz and other improvements for it.

I look forward to your reply.

Hi @amlago after further checked with internal team, this process for cross-flashed only for internal usage and testing. Externally, we are highly not recommended for the cross-flash between modules. Please take note that GST and ZDA messages are not supported on EA module.

Even with same chipset and board; different modules version will require different activation codes, and this will directly impact the feature within module such as RTK function.

If the license only for EA module, then its only can be used with EA firmware and this same goes for DA. Hope that will help you for better understanding.

Hi @Mohamad.firdaus

Oops. We’ve gone off the rails with the experiment.
What you sent me then, I can’t implement. Is there no way to send licenses after the firmware change? Is it technically impossible or is it a company issue?
I’ll see what I can do then.
I sent you an email explaining a few more things, so you understand my persistence.

Hi @Mohamad.firdaus.

Any updates on the matter?
Did you successfully update the firmware.

Can I try it?

Will you help me if there are any issues, like with the licensing?

I’m running out of time, as I explained in the emails I sent you.

Regards, Angel

Hi @amlago as I stated previously, the process for cross-flash only meant for internal testing. With this, you are not recommended to do the cross-flash firmware as this will impact the activation codes on the products.

This enabling for GST message on EA has been brought and evaluated by our internal team before. The computing power of EA is insufficient, and it is no longer possible to incorporate the calculation of additional data. Hence, there will be no enablement plan for this message.

Best regards,

Hi @Mohamad.firdaus
I understand your point.

Now I’d like to make a request.

That the firmware on the EA model be modified so that GST only works when the frequency is 1 Hz.

This would allow the EA model to be used with GST in certain circumstances. Some users will find this useful.

Please pass on my idea and let me know what you think.

Regards, Angel

Hi @amlago Thank you for the feedback and I have replied to you via email instead. Best regards,
