GSD4t¶

Introduction¶

According to ifixit the Galaxy Nexus's GPS is a GSD4t

Information gathered so far.¶

The GPS is connected to /dev/ttyO0

the init sequence require the following special serial settings:

part of the init sequence is at 460800 Bps

part of it is at:

termios.c_cflag = CRTSCTS | CS8 | CREAD | CLOCAL | B115200;

Here are some logs:
