Re: What’s the purpose of device-hook file

[raaj lokanathan]

Hey Gary,

Got that point now. 

Btw just a quick question. 

Is there a way to start gpsd with specific driver and baudrate? I don’t want to go through the guessing the baudrate. 

For example. I have my driver name as lgit. And I know it’s baudrate is 115200

Can I pass in something like this?

./gpsd -D 6 -N -n lgit 115200 /dev/usb1

The point is to run BEFORE gpsd is run, so no drivers involved.  Once
gpsd is started, it autodetects the GNSS receiver and selects the
proper driver.

Yes, bu no need for a driver to send to the receiver.

Something as simple as this can work:
        stty -F /dev/ttyS0 9600
        echo "$ATZ" > /dev/ttyttyS0

Then start gpsd.
