Using ubxlib to interface two ublox peripherals #238

Closed jamal-mouline closed 1 month ago

jamal-mouline commented 1 month ago

Hello, This is more of a general high level question than an issue

Suppose the host MCU (for example a Nordic DK) is wired to two ublox peripherals over two distinct UARTs A cellular modem (for example a SARA-R5) and a GNSS receiver (for example the MIA-M10Q)

Would it be possible to establish two parallel instances, one for each peripheral?

I would imagine the init calls would be unique/common to both interfaces: uPortInit and uDeviceInit

Then distinction needs to be made at the open via uDeviceOpen to obtain two separate handles the first DeviceCfg shall have a type of U_DEVICE_TYPE_CELL the second DeviceCfg shall have a type of U_DEVICE_TYPE_GNSS

Please let me know if this is something that has already been tested Thank you

Hi Jamal. Provided the UART HW blocks are distinct there should be no issue; this is something we test.

Hi Rob, Likely to revisit this one in the near future... Thanks,
