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
Oops. Big oops. cua support for zstty was removed about 7.5 years ago,
it was intended to be brought back, but I had completely forgotten about
this.
Does the following diff help? It should apply cleanly to 4.6 too (apply
in sys/arch/sparc/dev).
The patch did enable the /dev/cua* devices. I was able to use minicom
to connect to /dev/cuaa and see the data streaming back from my GPS
receiver.
However, ldattach still doesn't seem to know what to do with the device.
I started up ldattach as:
ldattach -d -p -t dcd nmea /dev/cuaa
But it just sits there and does nothing.
