Hi everyone!

I’m looking to integrate the NT1069X8_FMC GNSS evaluation kit (https://kosminis-vytis.lt/products/gnss-development-and-research-tools/nt1069-x8-fmc/) from Kosminis Vytis with Jetson Nano for high-precision positioning applications. This module supports multi-channel GNSS reception (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, NavIC, QZSS) and features an FMC interface, primarily designed for FPGA-based platforms.

❓ Key questions:

  1. What’s the best approach to adapt the NT1069X8_FMC for use with Jetson Nano, considering its FMC interface?
  2. Is it possible to connect via USB/UART using an intermediary adapter or a Raspberry Pi HAT?
  3. What additional modules or libraries (e.g., RTKLIB) could help in processing the GNSS data on Jetson Nano?
  4. Has anyone worked with this module before? What challenges should I expect when integrating it with Jetson Nano?

Any advice, wiring diagrams, or implementation examples would be greatly appreciated! 🚀

Since it’s designed for FPGA-based platforms, have you considered using an FMC-to-USB or FMC-to-M.2 adapter for Nano? Not sure if latency or bandwidth would be a concern.
