* The RTK EVK does not support E6 reception.
2687

* The RTK Postcard's LG290P GNSS receiver has the ability to receive the E6 signals but as of writing, HAS is not yet implemented in the GNSS location engine.

* The RTK Torch will need UM980 firmware 118333 or newer. See how to <ahref="../firmware_update/#updating-um980-firmware">Update the UM980 Firmware</a> for instructions. HAS/E6 is enabled by default and can be disabled in the <ahref="../menu_gnss/#galileo-e6-corrections">GNSS Menu</a> if desired.

<p>In the rare event that a unit is not staying on long enough for new firmware to be loaded into a COM port, the RTK Firmware (as of version 1.2) has an override function.

<p>The u-blox ZED-F9P is the GNSS receiver inside the RTK EVK. The RTK EVK also contains the u-blox NEO-D9S for receiving L-Band corrections. The following describes how to update the firmware on the ZED-F9P and NEO-D9S modules.</p>
2644
2644
<p>The firmware loaded onto the ZED-F9P and NEO-D9S receivers is written by u-blox and can vary depending on the manufacture date. The RTK Firmware (that runs on the ESP32) is designed to flexibly work with any u-blox firmware. Upgrading the ZED-F9x/NEO-D9S is a good thing to consider but is not crucial to the use of RTK products.</p>

A CLI method is also possible using the <code>ubxfwupdate.exe</code> tool provided with u-center. Additionally, u-blox offers the source for the ubxfwupdate tool that is written in C.

<p>You can now use your RTK device to measure points with good (meter) accuracy. If you need extreme accuracy (down to 8mm) continue reading the <ahref="#rtk-crash-course">RTK Crash Course</a>.</p>
<p>To get millimeter accuracy we need to provide the RTK unit with correction values. Corrections, often called RTCM, help the RTK unit refine its position calculations. RTCM (Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services) can be obtained from a variety of sources but they fall into three buckets: Commercial, Public, and Civilian Reference Stations.</p>
