Package: gpsbabel
Version: 1.4.2-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
I tried to get gpsbabel to read the data from my Garmin EDGE 305 unit. This
only worked after removing the "garmin_gps" kernel module and running
gpsbabel
as root (or manually adding a udev rule).
Please see http://www.gpsbabel.org/os/Linux_Hotplug.html for details.
It'd be
great if wheezy would support using the edge305 out-of-the-box.
Here some tries when trying to access the edge with the module loaded:
david@debian:~$ sudo gpsbabel -i garmin -f usb:-1
Claim interfaced failed: could not claim interface 0: Device or resource
busy
david@debian:~$ sudo su - david -c 'gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f
/dev/ttyUSB0 -o gpx -F /home/david/out.gpx'
[ERROR] GPS_Packet_Read: Timeout. No data received.
[ERROR] A301_Get: Error transferring tracks
1.3.5 from lenny at least gave a sensible error message:
david@debian:~$ sudo dpkg -i Downloads/gpsbabel_1.3.5-1.1_amd64.deb
dpkg: warning: downgrading gpsbabel from 1.4.2-2 to 1.3.5-1.1.

david@debian:~$ sudo strace -o /tmp/trace gpsbabel -i garmin -f usb:-1
usb_set_configuration failed, probably because kernel driver 'garmin_gps'
is blocking our access to the USB device.
For more information see http://www.gpsbabel.org/os/Linux_Hotplug.html
And thus it works:
david@debian:~$ sudo rmmod garmin_gps
david@debian:~$ sudo strace -o /tmp/trace gpsbabel -i garmin -f usb:-1
