Source code Ublox SAM-M8q chip

Hello,

I purchased Arduino MKR GPS shield considering its source code being available.

I checked but the source code of GPS receiver chip which is Ublox SAM-M8q chip is not available.

I am looking for its source code. Please can anyone help me ?

Best ,
Sam

What exactly do you mean by 'source code' ?

The SAM M8Q is a serial GPS and there are a number of well know Arduino libraries that support its use.

Sam101,
On the page that you linked to, under "Getting Started", there is a link to the Arduino_MKRGPS library.
I would expect that library to have its own examples.

@srnet Thanks for your comment. By source code I mean , how SAM-M8Q chip calculates GPS position. The source code of Ublox SAM-M8Q chip.

You would need to contact Ublox for that and I doubt they will supply it.

@JohnLincoln You misunderstood me. I am looking for source code of Ublox SAM-M8Q chip which Arduino MKr shield uses.

@srnet I asked but no success. I am wondering if they are entitled to provide it because I thought that all code of arduino were available. I need some advise here.

Arduino buy in the SAM-M8Q as a commercial product.
Any code that is used internally in the SAM-8D is U-blox's own intellectual property.

Would you expect Microchip to provide the microcode for their microcontrollers?

Indeed, or Semtech to provide the internal firmware for the devices used in the Arduino LoRa products.
