Support for serial devices
Hi,
I recently discovered geoclue, however, as far as I understand the features, it lacks supporting serial devices natively. (Please correct me if wrong)
What I mean by a serial device is a "GPS hardware connected directly to the serial port, and spitting out NMEA lines".
Note: it's not a USB modem, so Modem manager doesn't detect. (AFAIK, we need productID or vendorID for Modem manager to work. And a direct serial connection lacks both).
A possible workaround that I did in my project was: dump serial data to TCP, create avahi service, and let geoclue discover the service.
Would it be of interest to geoclue if I work on this issue and support serial devices natively?
