Description

The GPS Plugin sample implements a sensor driver for a CAN-based GPS using the comprehensive sensor plugin framework. This uses a DriveWorks CAN Bus sensor to provide raw data.

Running the sample

This sample compiles as a shared library (.so) that can be used with the DriveWorks Sensor Abstraction Layer (SAL).

This plugin can be used in conjunction with the GPS Location Logger Sample to test and verify functionality:

./sample_gps_logger --driver=gps.custom
                    --params=decoder-path=[path_to_decoder.so],
                             can-proto=[can.virtual|can.socket],
                             [file=<path_to_can_recording.bin>|device=<can_device>]

For playing back GPS data recorded with a custom plugin, the following command line can be used:

./sample_gps_logger --driver=gps.virtual
                    --params=file=[path_to_recording.bin],
                             decoder-path=[path_to_decoder.so]

Note

The precompiled decoder library is called libsample_gps_plugin.so.
