Tracking more GNSS constellations increases position availability, especially when sky view is limited or small antennas are used. BeiDou has global availability, modem does support A-GPS data for BeiDou. When BeiDou is enabled, its satellites are used in fix according to PQGSA messages in NMEA stream. Galileo constellation is kept disabled, since modem doesn't support assistance data for Galileo. When enabled, Galileo satellites usually don't participate in the fix. xtra2.bin contains assistance data only for GPS and GLONASS. xtra3grc.bin – XTRA 3.0 files, providing GPS, GLO, and BDS assistance data (protected by a digital signature). Switching to XTRA 3.0 files is recommended to close CVE-2016-5341.
eg25-manager - Quectel EG25 management daemon
eg25-manager is a daemon for managing the Quectel EG25 modem found on the
Pine64 PinePhone.
It implements the following features:
- cleanly power on/off the modem
- configure/check essential parameters (such as the audio format) on startup
- monitor the modem state through ModemManager
- put the modem in low-power mode when suspending the system, and restore it back to normal behavior when resuming
- monitor the modem state on resume and recover it if needed
Dependencies
eg25-manager requires the following development libraries:
- libglib2.0-dev
- libgpiod-dev (>= 2.0)
