XM1210 with custom 1PPS

Hello,

We are currently designing a board with an XM1210_1104263 GPS module from Sierra Wireless on it in replacement of a previous model which is EOL. This model is also a matter of convenience since we use it on other boards. However, according to the datasheet, the 1PPS signal on this model is only active after being 3D fixed , which will end up raising an alarm in our software if for some reason we loose the 3D_Fix, hence the 1PPS (which is likely to happen in our application).

Is it possible to order these devices with a custom firmware which would always output a 1PPS signal? It would save us from reprogramming the software which we don’t have the ownership. Thanks a lot in advance.

Have a great day and take care.

Hello @jf.rose, I will check with our Sierra Wireless Product Manager to see if a custom firmware version with 1PPS signal always output if 3D fix lost is possible and get back to you.
