<p>This application note describes the use of integrated GPS-disciplined oscillators (GPSDOs) for
the USRP N-Series and E1xx. For information regarding the GPSDO that is compatible with
the USRP X-Series, please see:</p>

<h1>Installation Instructions</h1>
<p>Instructions for mounting the GPSDO kit onto your USRP device can be found here:
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.ettus.com/content/files/gpsdo-kit_2.pdf">http://www.ettus.com/content/files/gpsdo-kit_2.pdf</a></p>
<div class="section" id="post-installation-task-n-series-only">
<h2>Post-installation Task (N-Series only)</h2>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> The following instructions are only necessary for UHD 3.4.* and below.</p>
<p>This is necessary if you require absolute GPS time in your application
or need to communicate with the GPSDO to obtain location, satellite info, etc.
If you only require 10 MHz and PPS signals for reference or MIMO use
(see the <a class="reference external" href="./sync.html">Synchronization Application Notes</a>),
it is not necessary to perform this step.</p>
<p>To configure the USRP to communicate with the GPSDO, use the
<strong>usrp_burn_mb_eeprom</strong> utility:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
cd &lt;install-path&gt;/lib/uhd/utils
./usrp_burn_mb_eeprom --args=&lt;optional device args&gt; --key=gpsdo --val=internal

-- restore original setting --
./usrp_burn_mb_eeprom --args=&lt;optional device args&gt; --key=gpsdo --val=none
</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="using-the-gpsdo-in-your-application">
<h1>Using the GPSDO in Your Application</h1>
<p>By default, if a GPSDO is detected at startup, the USRP will be configured
to use it as a frequency and time reference. The internal VITA timestamp
will be initialized to the GPS time, and the internal oscillator will be
phase-locked to the 10 MHz GPSDO reference. If the GPSDO is not locked to
satellites, the VITA time will not be initialized.</p>
<p>GPS data is obtained through the <strong>mboard_sensors</strong> interface. To retrieve
the current GPS time, use the <strong>gps_time</strong> sensor:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
usrp-&gt;get_mboard_sensor(&quot;gps_time&quot;);
</pre>
<p>The returned value will be the current epoch time, in seconds since
January 1, 1970. This value is readily converted into human-readable
format using the <strong>time.h</strong> library in C, <strong>boost::posix_time</strong> in C++, etc.</p>
<p>Other information can be fetched as well. You can query the lock status
with the <strong>gps_locked</strong> sensor, as well as obtain raw NMEA sentences using
the <strong>gps_gprmc</strong>, and <strong>gps_gpgga</strong> sensors. Location
information can be parsed out of the <strong>gps_gpgga</strong> sensor by using <strong>gpsd</strong> or
another NMEA parser.</p>
