GPS and AP for LuxonisOS

Douglas

Hi,

I was curious about the plans for providing access to the gps on the v4 qualcomm chip. I am not very familiar with these chips, I tried installing and using gpsd without any success. Also, I poked around looking for relevant things in the device list and kernel logs but didn't see anything. Would this eventually get exposed in the depthai api? Any idea of timeline?

Was also curious about setting up the device as an access point. I tried setting this up but ran into some missing kernel modules:

Is this planned to eventually be supported? Maybe I'll add another router to my system and try to have the camera connect to that to setup my wireless network. Was originally thinking it could be nice to have the camera as an AP to remove some hardware.

All this was with the latest 1.6.0 OS.

Thanks,

Douglas

Hi Douglas
Sorry for the late response. The SoC doesn't actually have GPS and and WIFI functionality (either locked by QC or not present on the chip). We'll be adding an expansion for WIFI via M8. GPS can be added in the same way, but you would need a dongle for it.

Thanks,
Jaka
