Hello, I am trying to get serial GPS module work with android, and it is mentioned in user manual that serial1 has been configured by adding following line in init.rc setprop ro.kernel.android.gps s3c2410_serial1 but this does not work for me, it shows only gps symbol on screen and nothing happens, however nothing is written about baud rate. anybody got it work?
now I have connected gps module to s3c2410_serial2 at 4800 baud rate. and changed line in init.rc setprop ro.kernel.android.gps s3c2410_serial2 and also changed baud rate of port 4800 no parity stty 4800 cs8 -parenb -F /dev/s3c2410_serial2 but still not working, keeps on showing no GPS satellite found, :(
At last I got it work by above settings...
Hi, 1st let me say I know nothing about your board and device; so what I post here is derived from some experience with a couple of Android tablets ... most Android devices process the file /data/local.prop - so there you can usually add the stuff needed for your gps, f.e.: ro.kernel.android.gps=s3c2410_serial1 gps.device=s3c2410_serial1 gps.baud=9600 gps.accuracy=6 also, after you did set the baudrate with stty, did you test with 'cat' that you can read data from the device? f.e.: cat /dev/s3c2410_serial1 should give you the nmea output of the gps device (with some android devices you may need to use 'busybox cat'). oh, and did you check that the device /dev/s3c2410_serial1 really exists? perhaps you need to load a kernel module 1st?
