A new Flyspray task has been opened.  Details are below. 

User who did this - Ken (marconi) 

Attached to Project - LEDE Project
Summary - gpsd doesn't work with "Garmin USB binary" (nor NMEA2000)
Task Type - Bug Report
Category - Packages
Status - Unconfirmed
Assigned To - 
Operating System - All
Severity - Medium
Priority - Very Low
Reported Version - Trunk
Due in Version - Undecided
Due Date - Undecided
Details - Supply the following if possible:

 - Device problem occurs on

I tried it on GL-AR150, but it should reproduce on any device w/ USB

 - Software versions of LEDE release, packages, etc.

LEDE 17.01.1
gpsd 3.16-1

 - Steps to reproduce

If you have a device with "Garmin USB binary" (eg : eTrex), then

gpsd -n -N -G -D 4 /dev/ttyUSB0

... should show data once a second.

>From my reading of the code, even without a Garmin device, "-D 4" debug level should show a message of "Probing Garmin USB binary driver...\n"

>From my reading of the code, it looks a a build problem.  2 "defines" need to be made :

NON_NMEA0183_ENABLE

HAVE_LIBUSB




FYI, there is a similiar bug for "NMEA2000" : If you do "gpsd -h", you should see "NMEA2000" on the list of "drivers".  I can file a separate bug for this if you want.



Thanks !
