gpsd: add wrapper script for hotplug/respawn handling

2026-03-02T12:36:30Z

Gpsd needs some time to create its Unix socket after the process starts. The hotplug call in service_started() is triggered too early, before the socket is ready, causing failures in scripts that depend on it. Additionally, when gpsd crashes and procd respawns it, service_started() is not called again, so no hotplug event is emitted on respawn. Therefore scripts listening for gpsd availability miss the STARTED event. This commit ensures the hotplug call waits for the socket to appear, so dependent scripts reliably see the STARTED event, even after respawns. Signed-off-by: Oliver Sedlbauer

gpsd: migrate option device to a list devices

2025-02-28T07:13:00Z

More than one device can be added to the gpsd at startup. Currently the gpsd service start script in OpenWrt treats this as an option with only one value. To allow multiple devices to be specified, the uci 'option device' must be removed and a new uci 'list devices' is added. This change means that several devices can be specified at gpsd start with the new uci 'list devices' configuration. Running configurations in the field are migrated by a migration script.

gpsd: add readonly option to uci

2025-02-28T07:13:00Z

The 'readonly' option tells the GPSD that it is not allowed to write to the GPS TTY, only reading the NMEA data stream is allowed. This option of the GPSD must be set for my mobile radio device MV31, otherwise the GPSD can not read the NMEA data stream on the GPS TTY because the GPSD blocks during plugin probing. gpsd:PROG: CORE: Probing "Garmin USB binary" driver... gpsd:PROG: CORE: Probe not found "Garmin USB binary" driver... gpsd:PROG: CORE: Probing "GeoStar" driver... gpsd:PROG: Sent GeoStar packet id 0xc1 Signed-off-by: Florian Eckert

gpsd: add hotplug handling

2025-02-28T07:13:00Z

The 'gpsd' offers the possibility to call the script '/etc/gpsd/device-hook' when a GPS source was added or removed via gpsdctl. In addition to the '/etc/gpsd/device-hook' call an event is now triggered too after the 'gpsd' has started. This allows scripts to configurre 'gpsd' receivers. The following events are available for '/etc/hotplug.d/gpsd' scripts: * ACTIVATE via '/etc/gpsd/device-hook' * DEACTIVATE via '/etc/gpsd/device-hook' * STARTED via '/etc/init.d/gpsd' Signed-off-by: Florian Eckert

gpsd: add the possibility to start the gpsd with a different log level

2025-02-28T07:13:00Z

This simplifies the handling of log levels if we need more log information during development. Signed-off-by: Florian Eckert

gpsd: add control socket '/var/run/gpsd.sock' on startup

2025-02-28T07:13:00Z

This change makes it possible to add new gps device without restarting the 'gpsd' service by using the 'gpsdctl' command. Signed-off-by: Florian Eckert

utils/gpsd: fix PKG_CPE_ID

2024-02-05T00:04:07Z

gpsd_project:gpsd is a better CPE ID than berlios:gps_daemon as this CPE ID has the latest CVEs (whereas berlios:gps_daemon only has one CVE from 2004): https://nvd.nist.gov/products/cpe/search/results?keyword=cpe:2.3:a:gpsd_project:gpsd Fixes: 299e5b0a9bce19d6e96cb9ff217028b36ee2dd36 (treewide: add PKG_CPE_ID for better cvescanner coverage) Signed-off-by: Fabrice Fontaine
