MSX – Hardware Documentation

Welcome to the technical documentation of the MSX system, the multi-constellation GNSS receiver made in Italy by SoluTOP sas, based on the Septentrio mosaic-X5 module.

The MSX system is made up of two or more printed circuit boards (PCBs) that mate via a mini-PCIe slot:

• the Main board, onto which the GNSS module is soldered, with the power electronics, the interfaces, the microSD slot, the LEDs and the LOG button;
• a Carrier board, which hosts the Main and brings its signals to the outside. The first one is the mini carrier, with only a USB-C connector.

Thanks to the mini-PCIe slot the same Main can be used on different carriers: an Ethernet carrier will be introduced later, designed for fixed installations — for example inside electrical cabinets.
