Supported GPS module for iMX6Q sabre AI board.

[vishalgautam]

Hi Experts,

We are working on iMX6Q sabre AI board. As per the attached Android release notes for i.MX AndroidTM M6.0.1_1.0.0 mentions that for this board GPS connectivity is not applicable but in the attached board schematic diagram interface for GPS module is mentioned.

Our requirement is to use GPS with this board. Please suggest which GPS module (vendor & module part no.) works with iMX6Q sabre AI board & what software changes are required to get GPS module up & running on this board.

Below is the software stack (BSP) I am using

OS:- Android Marshmallow 6.0.1

Kernel:- 3.14.52

U-boot:- 2015.04

Waiting for your reply.

Thanks & Regards,

Vishal Gautam
