GNSS is the term that is known and used by everybody in the industry to identify GPS, GLONASS, Galileo etc. > https://www.pcworld.com/article/205325/japan_launches_its_first_gps_satellite.html > .

Yes, there will be common code between > /dev/nmea0 and /dev/sirf0… Device node naming is pointless, use DEVTYPE uevent property for identifying the expected protocol. Regards Marcel
