Hi all,
I've been working on getting gpsd working on one of my old Sun IPXes but
I've run into a problem with ldattach needing the /dev/cuaa device. The
serial port /dev/ttya is working with gpsd directly but ldattach
requires /dev/cuaa. However, according to the system logs, ldattach
issues the error (ldattach is run as root):
ldattach: can't open /dev/cuaa: Device not configured
However, the device does exist in the /dev tree:
# ls -l /dev/cuaa
crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 12, 128 Feb 21 18:52 /dev/cuaa
THe matching tty also exists
# ls -l /dev/ttya
crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 12, 0 Feb 21 18:52 /dev/ttya
I'm at a loss to understand what's going on.
Straight use of /dev/ttya and gpsd works fine, gpsd is able to detect
the GPS receiver plugged into the port. However, I need ldattach for
the PPS discipline that I'm feeding through the DCD line.
The system is being booted with a keyboard and display plugged in so, as
far as I know, no gettys are attaching to the serial ports.
Thanks
