Thanks, I tried it but it starts a gpsd and I have found no way to tell 
frameworkd from gpsd.

What I need is something that writes to a (pseudo) serial line that I 
frameworkd could read from.

Maybe:

freerunner>opkg install gps-utils

debianhost> mkfifo pipe
debianhost> ssh r...@freerunner gpspipe -r > pipe

What about gpsfake[1].? Should be part of gpsd-clients in debian.

fake nmea device

2010-01-09 Thread Christian Rüb
Hi

as I am still debugging my Qt dbus problem I installed DSO packages from [1] on 
my local Debian box.
But I do not have a real GPS and no blueetooth. So, is there a way to fake a 
GPS device (something like cat'ing a NMEA log to a FIFO) to trick frameworkd?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
 Christian
