[gpsd-users] Communication loss with GR-701W |

Hi,
I'm using a Navisys GR-701W (u-blox 7, USB PL2303 interface) with gpsd 3.18,
PPS, and ntp 4.2.8p13.
Most of the time, this setup works fine, but from time to time, after
hotplugging the GR-701W module, gpsd switches to the UBX protocol, then gpsd no
longer indicates any received packets, as if the module became quiet. The PPS
continues to work fine, though (and the LED of the module blinks normally).
When this happens, right before the issue, gpsd reports a warning containing an
error, apparently sent by the module. I cannot post the exact log right now,
but this warning looks like this:
gpsd:WARN: TXT: trk tick error[...]
Restarting gpsd does not help. In this case, gpsd starts directly with UBX, and
the PPS still works, but that's all.
The only straightforward way of recovering from this issue is to replug the
module.
Any idea about how to fix this? I don't know if it's caused by gpsd doing
something that the module does not like, or if it's the module that gets
confused on its own.
I have a few ideas to debug this using the gpsd debug log, gpsmon, a USB
sniffer, or ubxtool/u-center, but it won't be easy if it's something going on
inside the module. Perhaps sending a hot hardware reset command to the module
could be a good workaround.
I will post an update when I have more information.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Benoît
