I think you may have sent me a file to test, but I can't find the e-mail. Can you tell me what tool you used to test it? I can get gnss0 to enumerate, so I am close.

I think I am stuck. The closed-sourced GPS binary that Logic PD did was done a 3rd party which has since been sold, and Logic PD never had the source code, I just get junk with this driver: $GPGLL,,,,,,V,N*64 $GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53 $GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66 $GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K,N*2C $GPGSA,M,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*12 $GPGSV,1,1,00*79 $GPGLL,,,,,,V,N*64 $GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53 $GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66 $GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K,N*2C $GPGSA,M,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*12 $GPGSV,1,1,00*79 $GPGLL,,,,,,V,N*64 $GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53 $GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66 $GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K,N*2C $GPGSA,M,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*12 $GPGSV,1,1,00*79 I am not 100% positive, but I think the antenna might be required to be powered. I'll talk with the HW engineer who designed the Torpedo + Wireless SOM and see if he remembers anyhthing about the GPS. I know for a fact that Logic PD doesn't have the source code for their GPS demo, and I know it doesn't work with modern kernels, so i can't compare the performance. :-( adam > > Regards, > Andreas

But the junk you get is just plain NMEA which I get also when device is indoors, so you got the chip into a mode which common user space (like gpsd) understands. So IMHO that is a Tested-By. So thanks a lot. I am happy with that result for the first step. So first rpc was tested with a Motorola tablet and the BT200, this one now with two different devices, so it is a good situation. > $GPGLL,,,,,,V,N*64 > $GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53 > $GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66 > $GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K,N*2C > $GPGSA,M,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*12 > $GPGSV,1,1,00*79 > $GPGLL,,,,,,V,N*64 > $GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53 > $GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66 > $GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K,N*2C > $GPGSA,M,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*12 > $GPGSV,1,1,00*79 > $GPGLL,,,,,,V,N*64 > $GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53 > $GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66 > $GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K,N*2C > $GPGSA,M,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*12 > $GPGSV,1,1,00*79 > A note: contrary to other GPS I have seen, this one does not give out satellite reception strength if not much is known about position. So this pattern might continue a bit even if antenna is there and gps reception is good. Much development of this driver was done in a hammock with keyboard in a sleeping bag outside so I know a bit... > I am not 100% positive, but I think the antenna might be required to > be powered.

Well, I think if there is some special antenna powering stuff, that can be done in a second step. Probably just a gpio or something. But that would affect both the testing tools and the in-kernel solution. As said, you might use the ai2raw=1 parameter and try the read_gps from bt200tools. Or the demo might work if you symlink gnss0 to tigps. > :-( Well, no, correct is :-) Regards, Andreas

You did not ack it so Johan could not take it. So what about taking the bluetooth patch now and the other ones can go in for maybe 6.13? At least that would reduce spam and the poor bluetooth ci bot will not spam complaints because it sees non-bluetotoh patches. Regards, Andreas

It's on my list, I'll try to get to this soon. Johan
