TEST HAS STARTED
As many of you are aware the GTA01's GSM 850 is non-functional at this time. This test was designed by many in the OpenMoko community (thanks to Michael Shiloh) to rectify the situation. A GTA01 was modified and is being shipped around North America and the results will be posted here as they are gathered.

#Section to start and record re-playable GPS data !!!Information available to limited people!! exec /home/root/gllin/gllin & cat /home/root/gllin/nmeaNP > /media/card/nmeareplay & # End GPS section #Section to record GSM signal quality !!Do math for QOS statistics!! #This Feature will be used to record signal quality ONLY no grep'ing for GSM commands #End Section
Replaying the NMEA data can be done easily
Just copy the nmeareplay file to your machine (/home/username/nmeareplay)
in your GPS software change the gps port to the nmeareplay file (/home/username/nmeareplay)
LAT. LON, SIGNAL_STRENGTH, CARRIER NAME, TIME
I've created a native openmoko gui application to display the gsm and gps information and log to a file.
gsmd only gives us operator name, signal strength and connection status. We cannot currently get band or cell ID (to tell when switching towers). Likewise, gpsd didn't give me what I needed, so the program watches /dev/nmeaNP instead. You will need to launch gllin manually before running openmoko-dashboard.
Give it a shot and give me feedback. Version 0.9 is available as source tarball and as ipk installer. --Sagacis 01:13, 14 January 2008 (CET)
