It is not a GPS issue, it has something to do with the configuration of systemd. I am having the same issue. gpsd will not start if it uses the default port of 2947, but works on other ports. I am not sure how to fix the configuration issue. systemd is listening to the port for some reasons.
For example starting on port 2948: gpsd -D 3 -n -N /dev/tty01 -S 2948 gpsd:INFO: launching (Version 3.6) gpsd:INFO: listening on port 2948 gpsd:INFO: NTPD ntpd_link_activate: 1 gpsd:INFO: stashing device /dev/tty01 at slot 0 gpsd:INFO: opening read-only GPS data source type 0 and at '/dev/tty01' gpsd:ERROR: device open failed: No such file or directory - retrying read- only gpsd:ERROR: read-only device open failed: No such file or directory gpsd:ERROR: initial GPS device /dev/tty01 open failed gpsd:INFO: running with effective group ID 20 gpsd:INFO: running with effective user ID 65534 gpsd:INFO: startup at 2014-06-28T21:09:24.000Z (1403989764) Default Port (verified with killall gpsd and rm /var/run/gpsd.sock): ): gpsd -D 3 -n -N /dev/tty01 -S 2947 gpsd:INFO: launching (Version 3.6) *gpsd:ERROR: can't bind to IPv4 port 2947, Address already in usegpsd:ERROR: maybe gpsd is already running!* gpsd:INFO: listening on port 2947 gpsd:INFO: NTPD ntpd_link_activate: 1 gpsd:INFO: stashing device /dev/tty01 at slot 0 gpsd:INFO: opening read-only GPS data source type 0 and at '/dev/tty01' gpsd:ERROR: device open failed: No such file or directory - retrying read-only gpsd:ERROR: read-only device open failed: No such file or directory gpsd:ERROR: initial GPS device /dev/tty01 open failed gpsd:INFO: running with effective group ID 20 gpsd:INFO: running with effective user ID 65534 gpsd:INFO: startup at 2014-06-28T21:11:21.000Z (1403989881) lsof -i :2947 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME systemd 1 root 33u IPv4 11356 0t0 TCP localhost:gpsd (LISTEN) lsof -i :2948 returns nothing (with gpsd stopped). -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
