Existing software

gpsd

we run it like this:

./gpsd -p /dev/ttyS0 -d gnssip.ing.uniroma1.it

it supports dgps over internet, but this only works a short time after restarting the daemon. strange...

media recording

atm, we know that: capturing video with sound from the webcam using streamer from xawtv works. capturing at 15fps QCIF- 176x144px. encoding MJPEG, container AVI. file size is apprx. 2.4Mb/min

Custom software

logging:

FridaLogger page collects these bits

log synching.

what is the best transfer from bike to internet? for now we are using a combination of rsync and db-link. what about mail or aware? pg-dump?

want to use collected test results and the current location to optimize frida's choice of network. so far this remains unimplemented, partly because it might not be necessary.
