The easy way is to use a simple GPS-Mouse: I think every GPS-Mouse has a serial interface, so you can connect it directly to the serial port on the foxboard.
serial) 1. You can attach a serial mouse directly to an RS232 which is connected to the serial port on foxboard. 2. If you find the tx wire which comes directly from the gps device, it should have 3V or 5V levels. This means you could connect these directy to the foxboard pins USB) My USB Mouse, for example has a PL2302 serial to USB changer inside. The foxboard has a build in driver for this chip. Other serial<->USB chips are also supported (see HowTo pages?). When I connect the gps-mouse into the usb port, it can be readout via /dev/USB[xx]. I found the seriel Rx and Tx wires from the gps itself to the PL2302, so I can use the signals (3,3V levels) directly on the normal serial port, too. The serial Tx speed is fixed by the hardware. readout) for examlpe in the console: cat /dev/ttyUSB[xx] or for the serial port: ttyS[x] to set the serial port speed use (example): stty -F /dev/ttyS1 speed 9600 I plan to write a programm which reads out the NMEA data and sets the gps-position into global variables...
