Get GPS sentence through UART (Zephyr)

[Oli]

Hi,

I would like to know if there are sample programs for getting GPS sentences through UART using Zephyr. I am using Fanstel (BT840X) board. I would also like to know the configurations that needs to be set so that I can get the GPS sentences through UART. 

Thank you!

Hello Oli,

But what you said earlier was that the Fanstel board (BT840X) was not supported by Zephyr

For clarification:

What I meant here is that there is no native support for the Fanstel BT840X in Zephyr. But that doesn’t mean that you can not add the board to the Zephyr devicetree yourself.

and that I needed another board like the 9160 to get the GPS sentences

According to Fanstel themselves, the BT840X is a Bluetooth, Thread and Zigbee module using the nRF52840. Our nRF5 series does not have a modem, so you are depended on an external cellular IoT device, like the nRF9160, to receive GPS sentences.

Regards,

I see. Thank you very much for the clarifications.
