Patches to fix om-gta02's GPS

hi,
here are some patch that tries to fix the GPS problem reported here:
http://www.shr-project.org/trac/ticket/1501

since it's late and that I cannot open the windows that late( else there
are some moskitoes) I couldn't test a lot(I only got the time from the
GPS, and nothing at all before).

patches will follow.

Note that some people already dislike theses patches, but the situation
is not that good on GPS side:
On one side we have frameworkd with UBX support that is exported in
GYPSY and gpsd compatible formats and on the other side we have fsotdld.
Last time I checked(loong time ago) fsotdld only supported NMEA and the
export API was not decided yet.

Denis.

fsotdld has a gpsd plugin, hence can use everything gpsd supports.

Cheers,

I've tested and indeed it works, I get a fix.

ok, nice,I'll try it out.

PS: can I still push the ogpsd part? and then disable it in frameworkd.conf ? 
(so it fixes it for other distros not using cornucopia).

it fails to compile:
arm-oe-linux-gnueabi-libtool: compile:  arm-oe-linux-gnueabi-gcc [...] -c 
plugin.c   .libs/provider_location_gpsd_la-plugin.o
plugin.c: In function 'location_gpsd_real_start':
plugin.c:266:2: error: too many arguments to function 'gps_open'

I'll try to fix later when I'm at home.

Interesting. Is this new path something I should add to omhacks too?

If you have omhacks, can you try if what you get from the following
commands under 2.6.39?

om --version
om gps power
om gps power 1
om gps power
om gps power 0
om gps power

I have not managed to get SD card work with 2.6.39 so I have not tested
it :-(

unfortunately omhacks don't compile, it errors because of -Werror.

I'll have to fix that before trying.

That's really bad, we need SD working again, but I'm not sure I could succeed 
on that if larsc failed...

Currently I use ubifs....but I would need a somewhat working microsd for my 
music when I would have ported mplayer to shr-core.
