/> Even wrote some small programs to read directly from the raw serial port on the HTC, but that was just crashing.<br
/> Then i found <a
href="http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html">gps2blue</a> which is a small program running under Windows Mobile and reading raw data from the GPS, and sending the data either over TCP/IP or Bluetooth.<br
/> Since my main laptop doesn&#8217;t have Bluetooth i use the TCP/IP options. Here, there are several choices how to connect the phone to your computer. Either by using RNDIS and a USB cable, or WIFI network.<br
/> You can even create a AD HOC network on Linux and have the phone and computer communicate where there are no other available WIFI network.</p><p>But then again i had the problem of getting gpsd to read that data, since gpsd mainlyread its data from a serial device.<br
/> I searched a bit around and found a tool called <em>socat</em><br
/> <code>Description: multipurpose relay for bidirectional data transfer<br
/> Socat (for SOcket CAT) establishes two bidirectional byte streams<br
/> and transfers data between them. Data channels may be files, pipes,<br
/> devices (terminal or modem, etc.), or sockets (Unix, IPv4, IPv6, raw,<br
/> UDP, TCP, SSL). It provides forking, logging and tracing, different<br
/> modes for interprocess communication and many more options.<br
/> .<br
/> It can be used, for example, as a TCP relay (one-shot or daemon),<br
/> as an external socksifier, as a shell interface to Unix sockets,<br
/> as an IPv6 relay, as a netcat and rinetd replacement, to redirect<br
/> TCP-oriented programs to a serial line, or to establish a relatively<br
/> secure environment (su and chroot) for running client or server shell<br
/> scripts inside network connections.<br
/> </code></p><p>So to use this with gps2blue i ran the following command <code>socat tcp4-listen:31873 pty</code> This will create a new device in /dev/pts/.<br
/> Atleast with my udev enabled ubuntu.</p><p>Then i could fine run gpsd /dev/pts/3 and use what client i wanted.</p><p>The same principle also works on Windows, but there you need to use HW VSP instead of socat.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://blog.mrfjo.org/2009/04/06/using-a-windows-mobile-gps-on-linux/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>9</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Windows Mobile 6.5</title><link>http://blog.mrfjo.org/2009/04/04/windows-mobile-65/</link> <comments>http://blog.mrfjo.org/2009/04/04/windows-mobile-65/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 04 Apr 2009 14:42:01 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>espen</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Mobile]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Nerd]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Windows]]></category> <category><![CDATA[6.5]]></category> <category><![CDATA[beta]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cell]]></category> <category><![CDATA[phone]]></category> <category><![CDATA[windows mobile]]></category><guid
