Re: [Paparazzi-devel] GPS on UART5 - unable to compile

[Michal Podhradsky]

Hi Felix,

thanks, setting the GPS port from the airframe file works just fine. 

I just needed to change the default location of GPS port in the board makefile (for example Lisa M 2.0 or Lia 1.1, UART3 => UART5). Then the mentioned error occurred, regardless on the GPS_PORT specified in the airframe config file.

It is probably not a big deal (I found a way how to configure the GPS_PORT anyway), but the compiler should not behave like this (a potential bug in the code?)

Regards
Michal

Hi Michal,

see http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Subsystem/gps on how do configure the GPS port you want to use from your airframe file.

Cheers, Felix

Hello Paparazzi team,

I found a possible bug in the preprocessor/compiler code. Maybe you will be able to either verify or explain this error.

Lisa M 2.0 has the default GPS port defined as UART3. When I changed in the makefile (http://github.com/paparazzi/paparazzi/blob/v4.0/conf/boards/lisa_m_2.0.makefile#L81) the GPS port to UART5, then regardless on the GPS_PORT specified in the airframe config file, I get the following error during compilation (note that we don't send any data to GPS during the flight so we can use UART1 or UART5 as they have no Tx pin assigned):

Commenting out line 279 in http://github.com/paparazzi/paparazzi/blob/v4.0/sw/airborne/subsystems/gps/gps_ubx.c#L279 solves this issue (i.e. GPS_PORT can be defined as UART5 and everything works well).

The same issue occurs for Lia 1.1 board, which is basically a derivation of Lisa M 2.0.

Do you have any explanation for this behavior? What exactly is ubxsend_cfg_rst doing? I assume it is related to soft reset of GPS unit?

Michal
