[OZAPRS] Linux command-line only I-gate software with GPS input.

[Steve]

Hello everyone,

I'm after some advice on what Linux i-gate type software allows both a 
serial TNC and GPS input.

This will be running on an embedded ARM SoC platform with no X running.

I want to create a mobile I-Gate, but also able to adjust its position 
via a GPS input.

I've previously done a similar thing with Xastir on a machine with X, 
but until it gets its long-awaited daemon mode, it's not in the race for 
what I need. I know I can fool Xastir into thinking it has a GUI, but 
then the whole thing starts to get a bit too heavy for the little 
platform I'm using..

I've been looking at DIGI-NED and APRX, but neither seem to accept a 
direct GPS input. They do have a way of reading a position from a config 
file, but that would mean I'd have to read the GPS NMEA separately and 
update this file. This wouldn't be too difficult, but I think it's worth 
checking if this wheel has already been invented!


Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Steve (VK2ZSZ).


P.S. for the APRS network planners out there - I don't intend to TX via 
RF. It will be RF to Internet only.
