Do you want to tell me that you want to implement this chain:

> GPS <--UART--> SoC <--USB--> RS232-USB converter <--RS232--> laptop ?


Well I am not an expert like you are ,I am just a beginner.The chain I think
is:

GPS on FR (USB) <-> USB to serial converter <-> laptop (USB)

I was able to read the GPS sentences on my laptop when I had SSH access to
the FR using this tutorial:

Now all I want is the NMEA sentences streaming into the laptop from the FR
using a USB to serial Converter .

So I need to install "socat" on FR?
