Unable to Start gpsd on i.MX8: GPSD Binding Issues and CGPS Connectivity Errors

[BrintoJames]

I am using an i.MX8 board with a GPS module connected to /dev/ttyLP3. When I try to start gpsd with the command:

root@kontron-samx8x:~# sudo gpsd /dev/ttyLP3 -n -N -D 3
gpsd:INFO: launching (Version 3.19)
gpsd:ERROR: can't bind to IPv4 port gpsd, Address already in use
gpsd:ERROR: maybe gpsd is already running!
gpsd:ERROR: can't bind to IPv6 port gpsd, Address already in use
gpsd:ERROR: maybe gpsd is already running!
gpsd:INFO: command sockets creation failed, netlib errors -1, -1

However, running cgps -s command gives me a null table

Could any one please help me to solve this?

Regards

Hello,

Please run the following command to check if gpsd is already running:

ps aux | grep gpsd

If you see a gpsd process running, note its PID and stop it using:

kill <PID>

or 

systemctl stop gpsd

Best Regards,
Zhiming

Thank you for your reply

I have added a recipe file for gpsd now I can successfully import gpsd.

My requirement is that I wanted to use gpsd in my python script like

"import gpsd"
