  • 0

On the client side,there is a gpsd process that takes GPS data from physical device port /dev/tty and expects the device to be connected to client.

But my case is different, I am getting the GPS data over an IP 192.168.0.61 and 10002 port and device is connected to server. I can connect to it using telnet 192.168.0.61 10002. I cannot access the server side of it, so cannot run any other process other than to accept the data from TCP IP.

I am wondering if any one of you can tell me how I can get the GPSD to take the data from TCP IP port .

May be a way to redirect the TCP IP data on to a /dev/tty.

One problem is I dont have the device connected on client side so, there wont be any /dev/tty.

    gpsd can use a TCP connection. See this in the gpsd(8) man page:

    TCP feed

    A URI with the prefix "tcp://", followed by a hostname, a
    colon, and a port number. The daemon will open a socket to the
    indicated address and port and read data packets from it, which will
    be interpreted as though they had been issued by a serial device.
    Example: tcp://data.aishub.net:4006.
