Connecting a GPS to the A13?

[noisette]

Hi,

Can someone tell me where we should connect a serial GPS to the A13 to work under Android OS? Where do we set the configuration for the GPS?

Thanks,

Jean-Francois

When you say "serial" do you mean UART or SPI?

I never tried it, but have you looked at the sys_config.fex parameter:

Look in this forum to modify the fex/fexbin files.

Well, unless this sunxi documentation is out of date (which I would not be surprised), it appears to work only through SPI (not UART).  I know the (out-of-stock) UEXT GPS module that Olimex sells is UART based : https://www.olimex.com/Products/Modules/GPS/MOD-GPS/

I was searching for possible connection of USB GPS module to A13-Olinuxino but haven't found any. What I did find is module pl2303.ko (usb-to-serial) and ftdi-sio.ko compiled for A10 processor only. Is there any way to find GPS drivers for  A13-Olinuxino? Same situation is with Bluetooth drivers as I understood. I think some of us would find it useful to have a solution. Cheers

Can anyone tell us at least is it possible to use GPS with this board or not? If it's not possible via USB maybe UEXT will do?
