SL-5500 and SysOn GPS CF plus

[Nobody/Anonymous]

I am having problems getting qpeGPS (version 0.9.1) to read my CF GPS card.

It is a model no SOC1S03 SysOn GPS CF+

I am running Sharp ROM Version 3.10 with Linux kernel 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix (USA English)

gpsd appears to be working because it turns green and I have a status of OK on the GPS tab.  I am using the "-p /dev/ttyS3 -s 4800" setting, but the default ttyS0 didn't work either.  Host is "localhost" and port is "2947".

A "cardctl status" returns:
Socket 0:
3.3V 16-bit PC Card
function 0: [ready]
Socket 1:
no card

The light on the card turns on after I enter "cardctl resume"

I tried the workaround for GM-270, but I do not have the directory "char" in "/lib/modules/2.4.6-rmk1-np2-embedix/kernel/drivers"  and my pathname is different because I have version 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix.

There is a pcmcia directory in "/lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix" but that directory does not contain serial_cs.o.

Any help would be appreciated, qpeGPS looks like a great product and I'm anxious to start using it.

TIA

I have the same gps cf card and I'm trying to run it with an ipaq 55xx. So the right device seems to be /dev/tts/3. I get the following information about the serial-port:

On a pxa-based iPAQ such as the h5550, the serial ports are in /dev/tts/. I would expect there would be a /dev/tts/3 present with the card inserted.

In qpeGPS I have a green ok for gpsd but a read ??? for GPS. Is this the same for you, or did you get a right gps signal?

Thanks

Michael

Have you tried running gpsd in debug mode and verifying that you communicating with the gps module?  You'll want the -n -N -D 3 options.

I'd be interested to know how you do, as I have a GPS lock in gpsd, but not in qpegps.

Hello,

I could not start gpsd from qpegps only from the console. I fI start it from the console I get a connect, but I can't a valid GPS Signal. I'm using qpsd 2.20 shipped with familiar 8.2 testing from handhelds.org.

I think I'm communicating with the gps module. Here the output (im inside a building ) If I'm outside, I get useful signals, position, heigt, for e.g.

Success,

device works.

I missed to use the gpsd from the qpegps-website. So here is what I did.

For an Ipaq 5500 install qpegps and gpsd from the ipkg files from familiar.handhelds.org. Then I untar the qpsd.tar.gz files from the qpegps homepage (sourceforge) and copy the gpsd file to the ipaq.

I can start gpsd only from the console: gpsd -p /dev/tts/3
The I start the qpegps

Everything is working great.
I use a Sysonchip CF plus card
