how to port Android on beagle board with GPS?

I have a beagle board, i have ported android on it.Now i want to integrate GPS with 开发者_如何学Goit.Are there any solutions available? if not how to do it?

Have you installed a driver for your GPS? I would compile a GPS driver for beagleboard and test it out on the test board. modprobe and rmmod work well on Android if you have root access.

Most of the GPS modules available in the market are based on RS232/UART. Beagleboard does support UART interfaces through an RS232 Cape. You should be able to get open source code for GPS drivers when the protocol is UART.
