The 2.x firmware introduces support for new ELLIPSE Series 3 hardware. It brings many performance improvements by taking advantage of a more powerful 64 bit CPU allowing double precision computations and more complex algorithms.
A lot of code has been reworked to improve the overall quality, stability, reliability of the sensor and especially regarding how the time is managed.
The main new features and additions are listed below:
Adds support for new ELLIPSE Series 3 hardware
Improved navigation filter accuracy for ELLIPSE Series 3 hardware with double precision numbers
Improve the filter stability and reliability in difficult conditions and during low dynamics
This firmware includes the latest World Magnetic Model to cover the 2020 to 2025 time frame
Improved UTC and PPS time management to better cop with noisy PPS signals
Firmware Compatibility
This firmware is compatible and intended to work with the following applications and libraries versions:
Inertial SDK 7.3 and above
sbgCenter 3.4 and above
sbgECom 3.1 and above
ELLIPSE Compatibility
This firmware is compatible with all ELLIPSE versions and hardware revisions.
Firmware Download
This firmware is not yet packaged with a new Inertia SDK. You should download it and install it manually using the sbgFirmwareUpdater tool.
You can also download below the firmware file only according to your ELLIPSE hardware generation. To determine your ELLIPSE hardware generation, simply check the product label.
If you see on the label HW: 3.x you have an ELLIPSE Generation 3 otherwise you have an ELLIPSE Generation 1 or 2.
