Beagleplay mikrobus usage issues

Hello! I purchased the GNSS-7 mikroclick making sure it comes with a click id, but I am having issues doing anything with it.

I try to load the manifest file like this:

sudo cat /lib/firmware/mikrobus/GNSS-7-CLICK.mnfb > /sys/bus/mikrobus/devices/mikrobus-0/new_device

I typically get a permission denied, and will then have to perform:

sudo chmod 777 delete_device
sudo chmod 777 new_device

Then:

echo 0 > delete_device

And then again:

sudo cat /lib/firmware/mikrobus/GNSS-7-CLICK.mnfb > /sys/bus/mikrobus/devices/mikrobus-0/new_device

Once I get to this point shouldn’t I be able to look at the data from the click?

Navigating to sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:devices
It looks like the default adc click is loaded since all I can see in this directory is dev, in_voltage0_raw, in_voltage1_raw …etc

Am I doing this wrong?

Seems right, but GPS/GNSS doesn’t come up as IIO like typical sensors. I will try to dig up how to use GPS/GNSS in Linux.

Not super useful, but the driver is running. The ABI just doesn’t seem useful Linux Kernel Documentation / ABI / testing / sysfs-class-gnss.

You helped me figure it out! Turns out all I had to do was:

sudo cat /dev/gnss0

Now it’s spitting out all kinds of data.

Thank you!

Sure enough, just doing that started spitting out all sorts of data to me. I’ve seen tools to parse this data, but I figured that Linux must have something that should be easy enough to setup, but I am still finding it to be a pain.

First, I tried gpsctl…

debian@BeaglePlay:~$ sudo gpsctl --direct /dev/gnss0
[sudo] password for debian: 
/dev/gnss0 identified as a NMEA0183 at 0 baud.

but gpsmon still spit out nothing useful. I tried to look at the status of the gpsd daemon:

Still, gpsmon is useless…

I’ll mess with the apparmor settings later. gack security

I’m still a bit lost what to do practically after this, but at least I’ve gotten around gpsd not being able to talk to /dev/gnss0.

Curious what you see if you run this c++ code

// compile instructions:
// g++ test_gps.cpp -o test_gps -lgps

// had to install libgps-dev
// sudo apt install libgps-dev
// this gets you the approprate header files

#include
#include <gps.h>

int main(){
//gps_init();
struct gps_data_t gpsData;
if(gps_open(“localhost”, “2947”, &gpsData) != 0){
std::cerr << “Error opening GPSD connection.” << std::endl;
return 1;
}

gps_stream(&gpsData, WATCH_ENABLE | WATCH_JSON, nullptr);

while(true){
if (gps_waiting(&gpsData, 5000000)){
if (gps_read(&gpsData, nullptr, 0) == -1){
std::cerr << “Error reading GPS data.” << std::endl;

return 0;
}

When debugging, I disabled gpsd, so I got this…

debian@BeaglePlay:~$ sudo ./test_gps 
[sudo] password for debian: 
Error opening GPSD connection.

When I re-enabled gpsd.socket, I got this…

debian@BeaglePlay:~$ sudo ./test_gps 
Latitude: nan, Longitude: nan
Mode: 0, Status: 0
Altitude: nan
Velocity: nan
Course: nan

Going back to my hack on apparmor, still nothing…

debian@BeaglePlay:~$ sudo aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.gpsd 
Setting /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.gpsd to complain mode.
debian@BeaglePlay:~$ sudo gpsdctl add /dev/gnss0

I’m not sure what I was doing wrong, because at one point I had gpsmon spitting out actual locations.

sudo cat /dev/gnss0 still is spewing something that looks like an NMEA data stream, but I’m not posting here. Not that anyone couldn’t find me, but I just don’t think throwing up random GPS coordinates where I’m at is a good practice.

Ah! Later, when actually trying to do the read using test_gps, something did stop the access.

Well, not positive what the issue is, but I guess the chmod is also needed.

sudo chmod ugo+r /dev/gnss0
sudo gpsdctl add /dev/gnss0
./test_gps 

Now, data is coming out.

Awesome!!! Yeah I didn’t want to post my gps coordinates either, but I essentially got the the same thing you did as well a bunch of zeros and NaN’s. But it appears you’ve solved this with the permissions! I’ll give this a shot when I get home!

Thank you for your help!

It’s working great on my end after changing the permissions.

Thank again for your help,

James
