**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Nov 16 02:59:57 2019 Nov 16 03:03:12 It seems to be a connection error? This worked on the old BeagleBoard.org Debian image but not on the udpated version on bbb.io/latest-images. Nov 16 03:04:27 It seems I do not have the gpsd.service file. Ouch! Nov 16 03:11:52 Got it boy! Nov 16 04:30:34 presuably because you didn't have gpsd installed :P Nov 16 04:36:58 Right...I cannot make it work anymore. The source does not work now. Nov 16 04:37:17 I think something is up but I cannot figure out what exactly it is as of now. Nov 16 04:37:18 have you installed gpsd yet? (with apt) Nov 16 04:37:23 Yes. Nov 16 04:37:25 ok Nov 16 04:37:42 But... Nov 16 04:37:42 it presumably needs configuration Nov 16 04:37:47 Oh. Nov 16 04:38:04 Okay...I will read up on how to configure it. Nov 16 04:38:19 it needs to know which uart to use Nov 16 04:38:24 Right! Nov 16 04:38:33 also, that uart will need its pins setup somehow (e.g. using an overlay) Nov 16 04:38:40 I figured that much. Okay. Nov 16 04:38:51 But...I did not get around to doing it just yet. Nov 16 04:39:15 So, okay. Nov 16 04:39:36 I find gpsd in my directories, change it up, and then use an overlay. Nov 16 04:39:54 I was just changing the source for gps3.py. Nov 16 04:40:03 No wonder. Nov 16 04:44:44 damn this is a big lute... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVabz8LneI4 Nov 16 04:44:51 my gpsd.service and .socket files are in /lib/systemd/system/ Nov 16 04:45:07 they better not be "your" .service and .socket files :P Nov 16 04:45:30 (but those installed by the gpsd package) Nov 16 04:45:39 Right-o! Nov 16 04:46:28 I do not know how to change up the file...should I type $UART2 in the ExecStart= section? Nov 16 04:46:42 you almost certainly shouldn't change it Nov 16 04:46:56 Okay. Nov 16 04:46:59 no actually I'm saying that wrong: you should never change files in /lib Nov 16 04:47:11 Oh. Nov 16 04:47:32 /lib and /usr/lib are "owned" by the package manager (apt) Nov 16 04:48:03 Oh. Nov 16 04:48:04 Okay. Nov 16 04:49:48 the settings file is /etc/default/gpsd Nov 16 04:50:26 the DEVICES setting is where you'd put /dev/ttyS2 (for uart2) Nov 16 04:50:32 Aw! Nov 16 04:50:34 Nice. Nov 16 04:51:21 it says use sudo b/c i cannot save the file w/out permission. Nov 16 04:52:31 correct, you do need sudo to edit files in /etc/ Nov 16 04:52:47 (typically) Nov 16 04:53:16 Okay. I am running the source again. I will let you know if it works. Nov 16 04:53:32 Mostly, it just stops but i will see this time. Nov 16 04:53:58 you may need to reboot (or at least restart the gpsd service) Nov 16 04:54:38 Okay. The .service file in /lib/systemd/system and the .socket file in the same dir. have to be manually started w/ systemctl. Nov 16 04:55:19 Should I start the socket too? Nov 16 04:56:26 Okay. That worked but I am not receiving any data yet. Nov 16 04:59:34 Alright. I got it. Nov 16 04:59:36 It works. Nov 16 04:59:58 The old source I was using was not good or something. Nov 16 05:00:07 I used what you handed out a while back. Nov 16 05:00:11 It works! Nov 17 02:13:55 Whoah. I just ran across https://elinux.org/EBC_Exercise_21a_Boot_Sequence while searching for a little info about failsafe boot strategies, and what a trove of information in https://elinux.org/Category:ECE497 ! Nov 17 02:16:09 They're all a few years stale, but figuring out the differences is just another exercise, I suppose ;) It's quite a guide.
