</div>I don't know if this is available on QtMoko and don't know the package<br>
managing system - on SHR I did in such cases:<br>
<br>
opkg install gps-utils<br>
gpspipe -r localhost<br>
<br>
Check if there comes out some NMEA data which looks somehow reasonable<br>
(changing) or rather static.<br>
<br>
opkg install openmoko-agpsui<br>
Run openmoko-agpsui (from the console maybe)<br>
<br>
It shows the output of gpspipe in a GUI, and even if you don't have a fix,<br>
you can see if the GPS chip receives signals from satelites, how many of<br>
them, the signal strength etc. You also can cold/warm/hot reset the GPS<br>
chip etc.<br>
Extremely useful tool for such cases.<br>
<br>
I had a similair case where first the kernal support for GPS changes/was<br>
broken, then in the same time I somehow managed to break the _very_ thin<br>
coax cable to the GPS antenna, and it was very troublesome to track this<br>
down...<br>
