Realtime tracking mode crashes garmin vista hcx #356

Open larsks opened 5 years ago

larsks commented 5 years ago

I'm using gpsbabel 1.5.4 with a garmin vista hcx (under Fedora 28, with kernel 5.0.16-100.fc28.x86_64 and libusb-0.1.5-12.fc28.x86_64. Enabling realtime tracking on garmin vista hcx, like this:

garmin -T -i garmin -f usb: -o nmea -F-

works once, and then any subsequent command will cause the vista to shut down immediately.

Update: this only happens when accessing the device using -f usb:. If I load the garmin_gps kernel module and access the device using -i garmin -f /dev/ttyUSB3, realtime tracking does not cause the device to crash.
