It is possible to GPS support in LG308 EC25 version so device will add location info to uplink packet to LoRaWAN server.
Below are the steps:
Open the box and connect GPS antenna to GNSS port of EC25
Connect GPS antenna
modify the two files:
/etc/chatscripts/3g.chat
ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT ERROR REPORT CONNECT TIMEOUT 10 "" "AT&F" OK "ATE1" OK "AT+QGPS=1" --> Add this line, so EC25 module GPS will be enable when dial up OK 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","$USE_APN"' SAY "Calling UMTS/GPRS" TIMEOUT 30 OK "ATD$DIALNUMBER" CONNECT ' '
Note: After above settings, the GPS will be enable when dial up, if user doesn't use Cellular for Internet access, above script won't execute, in this case, user can run "echo AT+QGPS=1 > /dev/ttyUSB2" to enable GPS
/usr/bin/generate-config.sh, after configure this, in the web page, select any frequency band and save to make this take affect.
gen_gw_cfg() { json_init json_add_object gateway_conf json_add_string "gateway_ID" "$gwid" json_add_string "server_address" "$server" json_add_int "serv_port_up" "$upp" json_add_int "serv_port_down" "$dpp" json_add_int "stat_interval" "$stat" json_add_boolean "forward_crc_valid" 1 json_add_boolean "forward_crc_error" 0 json_add_string "gps_tty_path" "/dev/ttyUSB1" -----> Add this line so lora program knows to get the gps info from EC25 json_close_object json_dump > /etc/lora/local_conf.json }
Reboot the device and run logread -f to verify if GPS already works.
