USB GPS (Car PC)

Hi everybody,

I want to use the Nvidia Shield TV as a car pc. At the moment I use a Tronsmart Vega S89 for the same purpose which I have connected to a Globalsat BU-353-S4 USB GPS. The GPS is working just like an internal receiver on any smartphone.

I used a tutorial on minixforum to get it to work.

These are the steps i used:

add in the build.prop "ro.kernel.android.gps=ttyUSB0" and "ro.kernel.android.gps.speed=4800"
make a directory "/system/lib/modules" and copy "pl2303.ko" in the directory
copy "gps.default.so" in "/system/lib/hw"
copy "install-recovery.sh" and "init.gps.sh" to "/system/etc"
set permission 755
reboot


When I try to do the same thing on my new Nvidia Shield TV nothing happens. I read somewhere that one has to compile the PL2303.ko to suit the device, but I have no idea on how to do it.

It runs on full Android Marshmallow for Shield TV 1.2 and I was hoping to use it as a substitute for the S89.

I hope someone can help me get this to work.

Thank you in advance. :)
