Hello,
It seems I have an issue with my GPS, I did the software upgrade (last
uboot, abd ASU 2008.8 kernel and rootfs) but still, it takes more than 5
minutes for my GPS to get a fix, without SIM card, without SD card, Without
Wifi enable, in a open area
What should I do ? do you have a reliable procedure that will concude I have
a problem, if it is determine I have a problem, what is the next step ?
Regards
Philippe

A wiki wont do.
A proper test proceedure and test report is called for.

Subject: Re: GPS rework: Please test and report on software fix priorto
attempting any hardware fix
Agreed. I've been trying to gather that information for the past little
while. It's proven rather elusive, and I didn't want more people to try the
hardware fix until we really understand what the software fix can do, so I
thought I'd better ask for the test ASAP, and then continue working on the
info.
Andy, can you provide links to two kernels: one before, and one after the
fix?
The test will consist something like
cat /dev/ttySAC1 | grep GPGGA
and then time it until it gets a fix. I'll be more specific.
Perhaps I'll set up a wiki page for this.

Could we get a link to some image files to use for this testing? I'm
not quite sure when Andy's fix made it in the kernel. It would also
help standardize the tests if we all use the same images.

Before we conclude that the hardware fix is required, we'd really
like to gather a lot of statistics from you about the behavior of the
software fix. We have been able to test in only a limited number of
locations, and a limited number of phones.
We'd like to ask you to run some tests and report back the TTFF in
each
case:
1. Prior to Andy's software fix
1a. Without SD card
1b. With SD card
2. Using Andy's software fix
2a. Without SD card
2b. With SD card
Preferably run this test in multiple locations.
Results should be reported on a wiki page, which should include your
location (so we can assess other influences e.g. satellite elevation
and weather conditions)
Thanks,
Michael
