TIsomewhereME Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 When I connect my Garmin GPS18 USB to Pineapple Mark V (firmware version 2.0.4) It shows up in dmesg: usb 1-1.2: USB disconnect, device number 4 usb 1-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 6 using ehci-platform however there is no corresponding new tty device listed in /dev. Only a new USB device under /dev/bus/usb/001/004 I have attempted to install GPSD on the sd card, but was unable to get it to enable at boot, so I removed it & installed in on the Mark V. I can start gpsd from the command line (with gpsd /dev/bus/usb/001/004), and telnet to localhost:2947 and get the following: telnet localhost 2947 {"class":"VERSION","release":"3.7","rev":"3.7","proto_major":3,"proto_minor":7} So I know GPSD is installed & runs, I know my GPS is seen by the system, however I cannot get the two to talk consistently as the USB device number changes between reboots (usually between 4& 5) Short of a factory reset and trying again, I am not sure where to go from here to get GPS working on the Mark V.

barry99705 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Might not have the proper kernel module for it. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/USB_Garmin_on_GNU/Linux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Might not have the proper kernel module for it. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/USB_Garmin_on_GNU/Linux This is the most likely answer. We don't support all GPS devices out of the box. Best Regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIsomewhereME Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Looks like I'm off to learn how to add a kernel module to the Mark V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry99705 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Is there a list for all supported GPS deviced? Anything that uses a generic pl-23xx module will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
