最近负责 Android 驱动的GPS部分,所谓Android驱动 我觉得可以说成是linux应用
之前发了一个图描述了 Android GPS 架构
GPS芯片大多采用串口通信,所以只要CPU能够提供一个UART 驱动, 那么跟GPS芯片通信是没有问题的,
但是现在很多GPS功能不是一个单独的芯片,大部分都是一个芯片上有好几种无线模块 比如 Blletooth WiFi FM等
有时候 有些功能就会去复用一个UART,这样在管理上就相对麻烦, 要将一个UART驱动, 模拟成一个HCI的接口而后才能使GPS功能(TI1281)
比较好的是我们的项目是单一的GPS chip 听说apple也是用的这一款,不过人家拿的是全部的source code,而我们只有部分的code而没有核心算法的code 很郁闷, 但是即便是只有部分code从里边还是可以学到很多的机制
对于android GPS驱动来说主要的工作是实现HAL层 计编译生成一个叫做gps.***.so的动态库的 代码.
由app发出定位申请,此时会去启动一个定位服务线程,此线程会调用到Location provider 服务在App Framwork中,在次会通过被native方法调用到JNI中,JNI获得GpsInterface并传给接口一个回调函数的实现。
GpsInterface就是由HAL层最主要实现
介绍下gps.h下得重要相关结构题定义
在android2.3中gps.h定义在/hardware/inclue/hardware下
主要的结构
1、相关宏定义:
- 定位模式定义
/** Requested operational mode for GPS operation. */
typedef uint32_t GpsPositionMode;
// IMPORTANT: Note that the following values must match
// constants in GpsLocationProvider.java.
/** Mode for running GPS standalone (no assistance). */
#define GPS_POSITION_MODE_STANDALONE 0 //纯GPS 使用卫星定位
/** AGPS MS-Based mode. */
#define GPS_POSITION_MODE_MS_BASED 1 //基于用户终端的A-GPS
/** AGPS MS-Assisted mode. */
#define GPS_POSITION_MODE_MS_ASSISTED 2 //基于用户终端辅助A-GPS
- 工作模式
/** Requested recurrence mode for GPS operation. */
typedef uint32_t GpsPositionRecurrence;
// IMPORTANT: Note that the following values must match
// constants in GpsLocationProvider.java.
/** Receive GPS fixes on a recurring basis at a specified period. */
#define GPS_POSITION_RECURRENCE_PERIODIC 0//周期性的
/** Request a single shot GPS fix. */
#define GPS_POSITION_RECURRENCE_SINGLE 1//单次工作
- 辅助数据(在测试GPS性能时候又是需要删除全部或部分的辅助数据)
/** Flags used to specify which aiding data to delete
when calling delete_aiding_data(). */
typedef uint16_t GpsAidingData;
// IMPORTANT: Note that the following values must match
// constants in GpsLocationProvider.java.
#define GPS_DELETE_EPHEMERIS 0x0001
#define GPS_DELETE_ALMANAC 0x0002
#define GPS_DELETE_POSITION 0x0004
#define GPS_DELETE_TIME 0x0008
#define GPS_DELETE_IONO 0x0010
#define GPS_DELETE_UTC 0x0020
#define GPS_DELETE_HEALTH 0x0040
#define GPS_DELETE_SVDIR 0x0080
#define GPS_DELETE_SVSTEER 0x0100
#define GPS_DELETE_SADATA 0x0200
#define GPS_DELETE_RTI 0x0400
#define GPS_DELETE_CELLDB_INFO 0x8000
#define GPS_DELETE_ALL 0xFFFF
- gps芯片可以处理的“能力”
/** Flags for the gps_set_capabilities callback. */
/** GPS HAL schedules fixes for GPS_POSITION_RECURRENCE_PERIODIC mode.
If this is not set, then the framework will use 1000ms for min_interval
and will start and call start() and stop() to schedule the GPS.
*/
#define GPS_CAPABILITY_SCHEDULING 0x0000001/** GPS supports MS-Based AGPS mode */
#define GPS_CAPABILITY_MSB 0x0000002/** GPS supports MS-Assisted AGPS mode */
#define GPS_CAPABILITY_MSA 0x0000004/** GPS supports single-shot fixes */
#define GPS_CAPABILITY_SINGLE_SHOT 0x0000008
- 还有很多的定义此处不一一列举 在gps.h中都有很好的解释。
2、数据结构体
- GpsLocation
定义了一个表示方位的结构体,成员有经纬度,高度,速度,方位角等。
- GpsStatus
表示GPS的当前状态,只有两个成员一个是表示结构大小的成员,与一个表示Gps状态的类型GpsStatusValue
/** GPS status event values. */
typedef uint16_t GpsStatusValue;
// IMPORTANT: Note that the following values must match
// constants in GpsLocationProvider.java.
/** GPS status unknown. */
#define GPS_STATUS_NONE 0/** GPS has begun navigating. */
#define GPS_STATUS_SESSION_BEGIN 1/** GPS has stopped navigating. */
#define GPS_STATUS_SESSION_END 2/** GPS has powered on but is not navigating. */
#define GPS_STATUS_ENGINE_ON 3/** GPS is powered off. */
#define GPS_STATUS_ENGINE_OFF 4
- GpsSvInfo
表示当前的卫星信息,有卫星编号,信号强度,卫星仰望角方位角等 - GpsSvStatus
表示卫星状态,包含了GpsSvInfo结构,可见卫星数,星历时间,年历时间,与用来定位的卫星的卫星构成的一个掩码 - AGpsRefLocation
/* 2G and 3G */
/* In 3G lac is discarded */
typedef struct {
uint16_t type;
uint16_t mcc;
uint16_t mnc;
uint16_t lac;
uint32_t cid;
} AGpsRefLocationCellID;
typedef struct {
uint8_t mac[6];
} AGpsRefLocationMac;
/** Represents ref locations */
typedef struct {
uint16_t type;
union {
AGpsRefLocationCellID cellID;
AGpsRefLocationMac mac;
} u;
} AGpsRefLocation;
/** Represents the status of AGPS. */
typedef struct {
/** set to sizeof(AGpsStatus) */
size_t size;
AGpsType type;
AGpsStatusValue status;
} AGpsStatus
3、回调函数指针定义
/* Callback with location information. 告知上层位置信息*/
typedef void (* gps_location_callback)(GpsLocation* location);
/** Callback with status information.GPS状态信息回调*/
typedef void (* gps_status_callback)(GpsStatus* status);
/** Callback with SV status information.卫星状态信息回调 */
typedef void (* gps_sv_status_callback)(GpsSvStatus* sv_info);
/** Callback for reporting NMEA sentences. 向上层传递NEMA数据*/
typedef void (* gps_nmea_callback)(GpsUtcTime timestamp, const char* nmea, int length);
/** Callback to inform framework of the GPS engine's capabilities.告知上层次GPS能实现那些功能 */
typedef void (* gps_set_capabilities)(uint32_t capabilities);
/** Callback utility for acquiring the GPS wakelock.gps上锁 让gps功能不会被suspend*/
typedef void (* gps_acquire_wakelock)();
/** Callback utility for releasing the GPS wakelock. 释放锁*/
typedef void (* gps_release_wakelock)();
/** Callback for creating a thread that can call into the Java framework code.thread create
在次线程处理函数中通常会由一个无限的循环,去等待上层的请求,并应答*/
typedef pthread_t (* gps_create_thread)(const char* name, void (*start)(void *), void* arg);
4、接口结构体
- GpsCallbacks
typedef struct {
/** set to sizeof(GpsCallbacks) */
size_t size;
gps_location_callback location_cb;
gps_status_callback status_cb;
gps_sv_status_callback sv_status_cb;
gps_nmea_callback nmea_cb;
gps_set_capabilities set_capabilities_cb;
gps_acquire_wakelock acquire_wakelock_cb;
gps_release_wakelock release_wakelock_cb;
gps_create_thread create_thread_cb;
} GpsCallbacks;
就是以上函数指针组成的结构体,是一组回调函数,函数的实现在JNI层是Android实现好了得,无需做(太大的)修改
- GpsInterface
Android GPS 最主要的数据结构,我们最主要的移植工作就是实现其中的函数
/** Represents the standard GPS interface. */
typedef struct {
/** set to sizeof(GpsInterface) */
size_t size;
/*Opens the interface and provides the callback routines 初始化callbacks 为JNI传下来的
在此会使用callbacks中的create_thread_cb 来创建一个线程处理函数一直循环,等待任务处理*/
int (*init)( GpsCallbacks* callbacks );
/** Starts navigating. */
int (*start)( void );
/** Stops navigating. */
int (*stop)( void );
/** Closes the interface. */
void (*cleanup)( void );
/** Injects the current time. 填入时间*/
int (*inject_time)(GpsUtcTime time, int64_t timeReference,
int uncertainty);
/** Injects current location from another location provider 填入位置*/
int (*inject_location)(double latitude, double longitude, float accuracy);
/*删除全部or部分辅助数据 在性能测试时候使用*/
void (*delete_aiding_data)(GpsAidingData flags);
/*设置定位模式 与GPS工作模式等等*/
int (*set_position_mode)(GpsPositionMode mode, GpsPositionRecurrence recurrence,
uint32_t min_interval, uint32_t preferred_accuracy, uint32_t preferred_time);
/*自行添加的 接口 AGpsInterface接口通过次函数获得*/
const void* (*get_extension)(const char* name);
} GpsInterface;
- AGpsCallbacks
/** Callback with AGPS status information.
* Can only be called from a thread created by create_thread_cb.
*/
typedef void (* agps_status_callback)(AGpsStatus* status);
/** Callback structure for the AGPS interface. */
typedef struct {
agps_status_callback status_cb;
gps_create_thread create_thread_cb;
} AGpsCallbacks;
- AGpsInterface
/** Extended interface for AGPS support. */
typedef struct {
/** set to sizeof(AGpsInterface) */
size_t size;
/**
* Opens the AGPS interface and provides the callback routines
* to the implemenation of this interface.
*/
void (*init)( AGpsCallbacks* callbacks );
/**
* Notifies that a data connection is available and sets
* the name of the APN to be used for SUPL.
*/
int (*data_conn_open)( const char* apn );
/**
* Notifies that the AGPS data connection has been closed.
*/
int (*data_conn_closed)();
/**
* Notifies that a data connection is not available for AGPS.
*/
int (*data_conn_failed)();
/**
* Sets the hostname and port for the AGPS server.
*/
int (*set_server)( AGpsType type, const char* hostname, int port );
} AGpsInterface
- struct gps_device_t
定义描述gps设备类型
struct gps_device_t {
struct hw_device_t common;
/**
* Set the provided lights to the provided values.
*
* Returns: 0 on succes, error code on failure.
*/
const GpsInterface* (*get_gps_interface)(struct gps_device_t* dev);
};
上层会通过动态库,获得此结构,等到GpsInterface从而打通APP到GPS device的全部通信。
- 还有 GpsNiInterface AGpsRilInterface等接口 在此不赘述
