Hi list,
sorry for abusing the list for a somewhat support request but
unfortunatly I didn't got answers in the IRC.
I'm interested to use BB for some experiments on mapping GSM cells
(opencellid.org and similar).
So I finally got cell_log to work and my general BB setup works fine
here on my laptop. But even with a working GPS, I don't get any
positions in the osmocom logfile or the resulting kml by gsmap. Here is
what I do:
I pair my Bluetooth GPS via
sudo rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomm0 00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE
I test it via
sudo cat /dev/rfcomm0
and it prints the usual NMEA stuff
I connect my mobile C123 and fire up osmocon with L23:
sudo ./osmocon -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -m c123xor
'/home/matthias/opencellid/osmocom-bb/src/target/firmware/board/compal_e88/layer1.compalram.bin'
After upload I start cell_log
sudo ./cell_log -f /dev/rfcomm0
which looks ok:
<0010> app_cell_log.c:216 Using GPS serial device /dev/rfcomm0
Failed to connect to '/tmp/osmocom_sap'.

<000e> cell_log.c:341 Sync ARFCN 90 (rxlev -78, 411 syncs left)
But it doesn't write any positions at the logfile nor shows that it got
a working GPS position. Only at a few starts I saw this line coming up:
<000e> cell_log.c:804 Scanner initialized
Mobile initialized, please start phone now!
NMEA checksum error
So I tried to set the baud rate but this message doesn't seem to be
reproducable.
Is there anything else I can do, or might it be some kind of software
bug for my specific setup?
cya,
Matthias
