U-Blox ASIO input buffer read error: Operation canceled, collecting data from ublox EVK-M8T

[weisongwen]

Hi, when I use this ublox driver to collect data from ublox EVK-M8T using the mini-USB port, I get the error as following my launch file is :

Operation canceled, collecting data from ublox EVK-M8T this seems to be the main error. I have tried the method mentioned in herehttps://github.com/KumarRobotics/ublox/issues/20, but it does not work.

do you have any advice on this error?

Hi, @kartikmohta sorry to bother you here, do you have any advice on this issue?

[kartikmohta]

Hi, Can you try the latest version from the repo? If that does not fix the problem, can you run the ublox_gps node under gdb following the instructions at http://wiki.ros.org/roslaunch/Tutorials/Roslaunch%20Nodes%20in%20Valgrind%20or%20GDB and paste the backtrace from gdb when it crashes? (You can set respawn to false for this).

[Kortium]

Run into same issue here's what i got from the gdb

May be it's because i run it on ARM linux

[kartikmohta]

@Kortium Can you provide the backtrace from gdb? That may help in debugging where the problem is occurring.

[Kortium]

Here it is

Hi @kartikmohta @Kortium , I am so glad to get both of your suggestions. I get such issue again. I debugged this error, and finally found that this package did not support the Ublox EVK M8T product. It seems that the driver for M8T have not been finished yet.

@Kortium @weisongwen Can you try again with the latest version from the master branch? Commit 4570130ad5adae4add35feda10a806b6d6d7ad9d fixed a bug which could have led to segfaults.

[weisongwen]

Hi @kartikmohta Thanks for your effort. I will try this first.

Hi， @Kortium Thanks for your share of your result. I want to confirm one thing: the device you used is ublox EVK M8T?

Best Welson

[Kortium]

Hi, @weisongwen That's a good question. No my device is C94-M8P-3 (devkit). But issue looks the same...

[weisongwen]

Hi, @kartikmohta Thanks for your suggestion. I tested the new package again and I find that issue again. also I got the warning from the node.h file:

void getRosParams() {
    ROS_WARN("Functionality specific to u-blox TIM devices is only %s",
        "partially implemented. See TimProduct class in node.h & node.cpp.");
  }

It seems that this package do not support the ublox EVK M8T device?

Best Welson

[kartikmohta]

@Kortium It seems like the resetting is not working properly for your device, can you try enabling the gnss/qzss option in the param file and try again? From your output, looks like the QZSS Configuration is the only one causing a GNSS re-configuration.

@weisongwen I think a similar problem for you, can you enable the gnss/glonass option in the param file and retry?

I only have a M8N device to test here and the driver works perfectly with that.

[Kortium]

@kartikmohta @weisongwen Thanks a lot for opening this question and helping me, i have misformed config file ~ . ~ Now it works!

[weisongwen]

Hi，@kartikmohta Thanks for your kind reply. Autally, I also have a M8N in hand. this driver works well with M8N. But not compatable with M8T .

I will test the M8T as your advice. Thanks!

Hi @Kortium Can you share your config file to me ? Thanks a lot.

[weisongwen]

Dear @kartikmohta Thanks for your effort on maintaining this package, It is mentioned in the Readme part: `` For FTS & TIM devices:

currently unimplemented. See FtsProduct and TimProduct classes in ublox_gps package node.h & node.cpp files.

`` does TIM devices means the Ublox M8T ?

Best Welson

[kartikmohta]

@weisongwen TIM means devices with timing feature (https://www.u-blox.com/en/timing) so M8T devices are not fully supported right now.

could you please help me

[KLelkov]

I also had this error: U-Blox ASIO input buffer read error: Operation canceled, 0

Solved it by changing tmode3 to 0 in the config file...

For those using the M8T modules, please use this gentleman's modified repository: https://github.com/flynneva/ublox.git2

After much frustration with my M8T module, I found this repo to work wonderfully.

[weisongwen]

hi @MrBanannaMan, thanks for your information, but this https://github.com/flynneva/ublox.git2 can not be opened. seems that this package is not existed.

[MrBanannaMan]

@weisongwen Hi Welson, My apologies, a "2" snuck it's way into that link at the very end. Try this:

[weisongwen]

hi @MrBanannaMan
thanks for your kind information, best welson

[weisongwen]

@MrBanannaMan Hi, have you find that where we can obtain the pseudorange measurements from this package? moreover, this package seems cannot work with the Beidou satellites.

[flynneva]

Hi Welson,

Take a look at the config file you are using to launch the m8t. It should be in the 'ublox_gps/config/' directory....probably set to the 'c94_m8t_base.yaml'.

According to the wiki for this ublox package......Beidou satellites are default set to off.

Add the following lines to your yaml file and it should work:

gnss:
  beidou: true
