GSM 850 Field Test Results

TEST HAS NOT STARTED

As many of you are aware the GTA01's GSM 850 is non-functional at this time. This test was designed by many in the OpenMoko community (thanks to Michael Shiloh) to rectify the situation. A GTA01 was modified and will be shipped around North America and the results will be posted here.

The Script

please comment well

   #Section to start and record re-playable GPS data !!!Information available to limited people!!
  
   exec /home/root/gllin/gllin & 
   cat /home/root/gllin/nmeaNP > /home/root/nmeareplay &
  
   # End GPS section
  
   #Section to record GSM signal quality !!Do math for QOS statistics!!
   #This Feature will be used to record signal quality ONLY no grep'ing for GSM commands 
   
   #End Section

Replaying the NMEA data can be done easily Just copy the nmeareplay file to your machine (/home/username/nmeareplay) in your GPS software change the gps port to the nmeareplay file (/home/username/nmeareplay)
