hey! successfully i got output of simple hello application on mini2440. but now i have written one GPS code using ttySAC1 but it is showing no data on mini 2440 but on desktop linux output is ok... plz tel me the solution???
First I'd look in /dev to see if you have a device node for ttySAC1. If not, make one.
THANKS!!! But node is there on my ARM9 Board and desktop Linux. Now what i will do???
The next step is to ensure that ttySAC1 has 666 permissions. I have a line in my startup script: chmod 666 /dev/ttySAC1 What is the permission on you ttySAC1?
My board is also having same permissions..........
Did you honor the fact that the corresponding ttySAC1 hardware is TTL only? How did you connect the GPS modem to your ttySAC1 interface?
My GPS module is having both TTL and RS232 Connections....
I am using ttySAC1 with 115200 baud rate. my code for GPS is executing on desktop linux (ttyS0) but it is not coming on mini 2440, My GPS Module is having 2 switches one is for TTL AND other is RS232. I m using TTL with ttySAC1 but it is showing no data........... why???
How is this data going to be displayed? What program or application are you running to process the GPS strings and display whatever you want on the touchscreen? Or have you written a Qt application that runs on the desktop, but when ported to the mini2440 does not run . . . for example?

Above code i m using only to see the original data coming from GPS
Just a suggestion: isn't ttySAC1 only meant for communicating with the touchscreen and you need another tty, i.e. ttyS0 (serial 0 on the row of connectors behind the RS232 connector for comunications with the GPS unit?
thanks! for ur suggestion but now, i m getting the data on ARM9 Board but it is showing all zeroes instead of showing some latitude and longitude value. even it is not showing special characters..........
Do you have access to a DSO (oscilloscope). Check that you actually get data coming out of the GPS unit. What voltage levels does the logic switch between? Did you write the code?
Hiiii!! Successfully got the output on mini2440. It is showing GPS original data, Means continously data is coming, Now i want to filter for latitude and longitude values. Plz tell me how to write code for that ??? Basically in the above code, i want the body of the following function: void GPS_resolve_gpgga(int fd);
What was the magic that got the data coming out of the mini2440? > Did you write the code?
No... whatever the data GPS is receiving that is only displaying on monitor of friendlyARM. For data coming out from friendlyARM I didn't write any code.
You have to write or find an NMEA parser. For example, http://www.procyonengineering.com/embedded/avr/avrlib/docs/html/nmea_8c-... to parse out the specific data you want, ie gpgga
hi, shine i have same problem i am unable to see gps original data on ttySAC0 can you help me
hi, Shine i wanted to ask you which port (ttySAC0,ttySAC1,ttySAC2) you are used for to see GPS original data and what is baud rate of both GPS and mini2440
hi, i'm having a GPS module.... My GPS module: zymga312-3 is it possible to connect this module to ARM9 board using serial communication ???? i done these steps .... installed gpsd tool i detected my module in /dev/ttyUSB0 i run gpsd as demon sudo gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock cgps -s (no data i got in this window) xgps (i got graphical windo but no data) gpspipe -r (in this step i got data like this....) GPGSA,A,1,.......... GPRMC,001032.58,..... GPGGA,000133.58,..... GPGSV,3,1,1,.......... ......................... is it correct data i'm getting ??? is my module supports for ARM9 board ??? pls give me replay i'm very new to Embedded systems....
Hi davef, I am using the gps evaluation kit having serial port interface....connected to the mini2440. I am working on the gps interface..... Please Provide the necessary steps to work with. 1.What i need to run in the init.rc file? 2.What are the source code required for implementing gps? 3.Where do in need to add the device node /dev/*** in the source code? 4.How to make it available to the android user space. Please suggest, Regards, Srikanth.
Hi All, I am using the gps interface connected on ttySAC1.On connecting the GPS module to it's uart (ttySAC1) on mini2440. Any One know how to make it works. On browsing, i found that if gps is sending data then through stty, it can be read. I tried the following commands but none of them work. chmod 666 /dev/ttySAC1 stty 9600 -F /dev/ttySAC1 stty -F /dev/ttySAC1 ispeed 9600 && cat < /dev/ttySAC1. Please point me if something miss. I also tried it with gpsd, but it is not crosscompiled for arm.Please, tell how to cross compile it for arm. Anyone know how to make gps-uart works on mini2440 board. Please reply, Awaiting for your response. Thanks.
