--EDIT 30 Jan 2019: the attachment didn't go up yesterday for some reason, now added--
Admittedly, I am not proficient with android/linux, but this is crazy.
I decided that I would dust of the tinker board (not touched in nearly a year) and would use it as a second car pc. (My goal is that the TB would run android and the following apps: Life360, Waze, Craftsman Garage Door Opener. The "primary" computer is currently a mini-ITX running Win10 which is primarily used for TunerPro and DriveLine. The mini-ITX is being replaced with a LattePanda Alpha....yes, I could run bluestacks on the LPA/Windows, but the TB begs to be used.)
Android Hardware: TB, GlobalSat BU-353 GPS antenna, 8" LCD monitor with Egalax resistive touch overlay (USB).
So the issue? I downloaded the Nougat (14.1.2.50) image and wrote the image to an SD card. I then installed Google Play Store from which I installed Life360, Waze, the Garage door app, and just a couple of ancillary utilities (e.g., terminal). All was well until I tried to get the GPS drivers installed.
I planned to follow instructions in the libGPS thread. Unfortunately, I get as far as running dmesg in the adb shell. Instead of getting pertinent information (i.e., the device identifier similar to ttyACM0), i get hundreds of lines of errors. (Image attached.) Thinking that this was due in some unexplicable way to the ethernet connection (not likely), I ran dmesg on the TB. Same result--nothing but hundreds of "undelivered transaction xxxxxx, process died" errors.
Other commands (e.g., dmesg | grep | -i usb) are not recognized in android, and lsusb list just the device # and hex ID.
Any thoughts? Is this somehow a Nougat build issue? Am I embarking on a path doomed to failure (given my limited proficiency)?
thanks in advance
