How to enable GPS and modify serial port configuration ?

Android temporary modification

Enable ADB: How to enable ADB, refer to the chapter "Using ADB" in the Wiki tutorial of each product.

Set the system to be readable and writable

adb shell setprop persist.sys.root_access 3
adb root && adb remount

Change parameters
- Enable GPS: Modify ro.factory.hasGPS in /vendor/build.prop to true
- Modify the serial port configuration: modify the SERIAL_DEVICE in the board /system/etc/u-blox.conf to the serial port path where the corresponding module is connected, and SERIAL_BAUD_RATE to the baud rate of the corresponding module
Reboot the board

Android code modification

Enable GPS
- Modify BOARD_HAS_GPS in device/rockchip/{CPU}/{PRODUCT}/{PRODUCT}.mk in SDK directory to true
Modify serial port configuration
- Modify SERIAL_DEVICE in device/rockchip/{CPU}/{PRODUCT}/gps/u-blox.conf in the SDK directory to the serial port path where the corresponding module is connected, and SERIAL_BAUD_RATE to the baud rate of the corresponding module Rate
Recompile the SDK and flash the firmware

FAQ

Among them, you can check whether the serial port path and baud rate set by the software are consistent with the GPS module through the LOG information, such as:

06-01 01:38:26.923   254   254 D TD1030DBG: Succeed : open uart /dev/ttysWK2 boadrate = 9600

If the serial port path does not have 0666 permission, gps.default.so will fail to load, and the following error LOG information will appear:

06-01 01:38:26.923   254   254 D TD1030DBG: ERROR : Uart Open Permission denied

Solution: Give 0666 permission to the serial port path.

The GPS test APK has a small number of stars or fails to locate

When the GPS module is connected correctly and gps.default.so is loaded normally, the GPS test APK may find that the number of satellites is small or the positioning fails. It is necessary to check whether the GPS antenna is placed in an open outdoor.
