LINUX WINFAST NAVIGATOR AND USB DONGLE GPS VIA WINE
Posted: Thu Dec 17, 2015 5:29 pm
On recent .wine installs I find symlinks are no longer necessary for Serial Ports. This is being handled internally by .wine after some recent package upgrades.
But what I want to mention is USB GPS Dongles.
Hot plugging a GPS in Linux causes some magic. Linux sees and names the file (assigning a special number) This being ttyACM rather than ttyUSB. (some distros)
1. Plug in the dongle or USB GPS.
2. From terminal and find your device. In my case ttyACM0.
3. Assuming Navigator is installed then
4. Create soft link by #-s means soft, com7 is normally available.
5. Run Navigator and set com port to com7 baud to 4800 or ? (your units baud rate)
Latest wine 1.7.20 (2014)(although 1.8 is floating around) Google "how to upgrade" for your system.
