Question

Hi, when I bought the RUTX12 some time ago I could set up all the key functionalities needed. After a problem I had to reset to factory setting. In doing so I applied the latest firmware. Since then my GPS services stopped working. With various firmware updates the error messages changed but still not working. 

These are the error messages I have right now in the log files with firmware RUTX_R_00.02.06. GPS is of course enabled but just showing position N/A. One thing that never worked, even while the GPS service worked, was showing the map. But I don‘t care about that as long as it generates the coordinates. 

daemon.info procd: Instance gpsd::gpsd s in a crash loop 6 crashes, 5 seconds since last crash

daemon.err uhttpd[4064]: /usr/lib/lua/luci/controller/gps.lua:80: attempt to concatenate field '?' (a nil value)

daemon.err uhttpd[4064]: stack traceback:

daemon.err uhttpd[4064]:  /usr/lib/lua/luci/controller/gps.lua:80: in function </usr/lib/lua/luci/controller/gps.lua:74>

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Michael

Hello,

It seems that something wrong happened while you were resetting your router to the factory default configuration and that results in messed up GPS or other services. I suggest reflashing the firmware to the latest via the bootloader menu. Please follow these instructions: https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/RUTXxx_Firmware_via_The_Bootloader_Menu

Regards.

OK, I found a workaround that gives me what I need. Prior to all these problems I used the https service to upload the GPS coordinates to the server. For whatever reason this does not work anymore and causes the gps service to malfunction. Tried out other gps server solutions same result.

Today I now tried to use the AVL service. Same URLs and port configuration and now it works. Never used the AVL setup before but now it works. Something seems to have changed. In any case, it now works again as it should.

Many thanks for the support provided that helped me stepping through this.

Good to know it works this way. Maybe the issue with https is due to something unexpected/missing in certificate of the server ?

Maybe, I don't know. All I know it used to work and now it does not anymore. Luckily the other one works. ;-)

I've had the same experience and this IS a known issue. And it's still not fixed! In the end I stopped using the Teltonika services via the UI and wrote my own data aggregation script. It's much more stable and uses much less resources than the builtin services.

Good to know that I‘m not the only one with those issues. After I made a lot changes including the ones outlined above it works. Let‘s keep fingers crossed … ;-)
