How to use USB GPS reciver on android M6?

My CarPC project on geekbox.
This is GPS/Glonass driver. You can built it yourself.
enjoy

Installation

Just copy the library to /system/lib/hw/ folder add properties to build.prop and reboot device.

Kernel properties
build.prop example:

ro.kernel.android.gps=ttyUSB0
ro.kernel.android.gps.speed=9600
ro.kernel.android.gps.max_rate=1

My system is Android 5.1.1 (Glonass work!)

Hi, Davemf:
Thanks to choose Khadas VIM.

Some infos you might need take a notice first:

Khadas VIM will not support Android L
We haven’t done any work about GPS on Khadas VIM yet, so it might take a risk

Well, can you provide following infos to us:

The GPS model you used?
What’s the problem you met when you build the GPS drivers on Android M?

Thanks and good luck!

I think if possible, you can paste the detailed building steps, and the log you got when running the drivers on your device, so some forks might help you.

I couldn’t understand well what you said. What problem did you need us to solve?

@davemf а нет решения для Android Pie на Vim3?

davemf · March 17, 2020, 11:42am

Я не собирал, а решение точно так же собирается как и на предыдущих версиях.

shirmusic · March 17, 2020, 1:11pm

Тут вопрос больше в том, что на Vim3 GPS выпилен из прошивки, т.е. его не включить в настройках. Есть вариант попробовать через фиктивные местоположения, но не ясно какой gps модуль вообще покупать, чтобы подтянулся ядром или библиотекой из первого поста.
На Али в переписке вообще утверждают что с USB модулями не заработает.

А на прошивке Superceleron смотрели?

davemf · March 17, 2020, 1:28pm

Везде выпилен, нигде не работает, поэтому и собираю свои версии прошивок для использования в авто, где есть все и работает.

This was @superceleron response when I asked about including GPS in his awesome firmware
