<div dir="ltr">Hello, <br><br>It seems I have an issue with my GPS, I did the software upgrade (last uboot, abd ASU 2008.8 kernel and rootfs) but still, it takes more than 5 minutes for my GPS to get a fix, without SIM card, without SD card, Without Wifi enable, in a open area<br>
<br>What should I do ? do you have a reliable procedure that will concude I have a problem, if it is determine I have a problem, what is the next step ?<br><br>Regards<br>Philippe<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Aug 10, 2008 at 8:21 PM, steve <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:steve@openmoko.com">steve@openmoko.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
A proper test proceedure and test report is called for.<br>

</div><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">Agreed. I've been trying to gather that information for the past little<br>
while. It's proven rather elusive, and I didn't want more people to try the<br>
hardware fix until we really understand what the software fix can do, so I<br>
thought I'd better ask for the test ASAP, and then continue working on the<br>
info.<br>
<br>
Andy, can you provide links to two kernels: one before, and one after the<br>
fix?<br>
<br>
The test will consist something like<br>
<br>
cat /dev/ttySAC1 | grep GPGGA<br>
<br>
and then time it until it gets a fix. I'll be more specific.<br>
<br>
Perhaps I'll set up a wiki page for this.<br>
