Dear all:
Was there ever any resolution on this thread regarding the loss of GPS
functionality? I seem to be having the seemingly identical problem as of
last Saturday. Last Saturday, my Freerunner's GPS seemed to stop working,
and I have been struggling to debug it since.
I've enabled the device with the dbus interface:
# mdbus -s org.freedesktop.Gypsy /org/freedesktop/Gypsy
org.freesmartphone.Resource.Enable
And the a variety of activity flies across the frameworkd.log.
Interestingly, it looks like ogpsd actually does have a fix... at least this
line:
2010.10.01 01:39:08.43 ogpsdDEBUGGot UBX packet of type
NAV-POSLLH: [{'LON': -123xxx, 'HMSL': 28843, 'HEIGHT': 11546, 'ITOW':
463141000, 'LAT': 48xxx, 'Vacc': 98976, 'Hacc': 98976}]
shows my exact position (obscurred for some level of privacy). However,
when I query the position with the DBUS interface, I get nothing:
# mdbus -s org.freedesktop.Gypsy /org/freedesktop/Gypsy
org.freedesktop.Gypsy.Position.GetPosition
(0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
tangogps and foxtrotgps both fail to find any GPS. Which is extremely
frustrating, because tangogps was until this point the one useful thing that
I have ever managed to get my Freerunner to do (and I use the GPS
extensively).
Does anyone have any advice? FWIW I'm running debian:
# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.29-20100313.git973a41fc (r...@neo) (gcc version 4.4.5
20100728 (prerelease) (Debian 4.4.4-8) ) #1 Sat Aug 7 17:45:57 GMT-3 2010

fso-gpsd is a level removed from the gps, so isn't much use for
debugging. You need to look at the debug output from ogpsd, or disable
ogpsd entirely and
here is the excerpt from the log... not sure why it says that serial is
closed...
and and configuration I had
[ogpsd]
# possible options are NMEADevice, UBXDevice, GTA02Device, EtenDevice
device = GTA02Device
#device = UBXDevice # this like I added ...
