GPSv2 inaccuracy

[rhbroberg]

Is there documentation somewhere which shows how to take compiled code from KDS and upload it? Or is this something we need to the rephone development group involved in? Do they monitor these forums?

You just flash the new firmware via KDS. The user manual of the Kinetis SDK is really clear acout flashing and debugging. You can use Segger and OpenOCD too.

I see the new object and hex file posted to the github (where I found the source code). I have a bus pirate and OpenOCD, but I will need a little more direction in terms of how to do so. Additionally, everybody who has received one of these parts so far has the GPS library code in it which is inaccurate and will need to follow some directions for how to update this, so it seems like creating a step-by-step guide is in order.

My gps module is on its way, so I can't make a tutorial this weekend. After that I can make something, but with segger (I got one with an infineon devboard)

I have ordered the GPS V2 about a week ago im not happy hearing this news, so ill take it that the one that i will receive will be inaccuracy aswell?

Has any contacted SeeedStudio about this issue?

[rhbroberg]

Unfortunately all devices will have the faulty gps parsing code until they are reflashed. Presumably upgraded firmware will be made available at some point. I would like to see the interface changed to provide read/write access to the underlying GPS chipset (the NMEA strings directly) to allow more control. That seems to be a more common method of providing access.

@rhbroberg, and also it'd be nice if it will be some firmware-upgrade interface there, which would not require windows :'(

Is there a work around and till the firmware upgrade?

[getmemot]

Anyone? This is delaying my project
