[time-nuts] Datum/Trimble 9390

Wed Mar 25 03:06:31 UTC 2009

I have a 9390-5593 that does not display the correct date.
The GPS engine uses two processors and three ROMS.
These are glued together with an ASIC.
I contacted Trimble and they cannot identify their engine.
I have read the ROMs and am in the process of disassembling the code.
This is slow.

I suspect that my 9390 had a Y2K problem and/or a 1024 week rollover problem.

Is this possibly the same engine that you replaced the ROMs in??
