I just received my M8N Ublox from Aliexpress.
I think it's fake / counterfeit. What do you think?
I contacted the supplier, as he told me that it was a genuine M8N and firmware was updatable. lets see what his respons is.
I will wait with adding the URL and the Alieexpress supplier name until we know more.
- Connected to U center UBX-Mon-Ver it displays:
Software version 2.01 (75331)
Hardware 00080000
Extension(s) protver 15.00; GPS; SBAS;GLO;BDS;QZSS
- The QR code on the unit says it's a Neo 6M
- With the antenna close to a window I logged deviation with ucenter all night and it varies up to 25 meters
- Tried updating the firmware to 3.01. But it fails: "Flash detection timed out"
edit: added some Print screens
