Article
02/22/2024

The IOCTL_GNSS_LISTEN_NMEA control code is used to start listening for NMEA events from the driver.

Major code

IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL

Input buffer

Set to NULL.

Input buffer length

Set to 0.

Output buffer

A pointer to a GNSS_EVENT structure.

Output buffer length

Set to sizeof(GNSS_EVENT).

Status block

Irp->IoStatus.Status is set to STATUS_SUCCESS if the request is successful. Otherwise, Status to the appropriate error condition as a NTSTATUS code.

Remarks

The EventType must be set to GNSS_Event_NmeaData.

GNSS adapter notes

The GNSS adapter does not use this IOCTL.

GNSS driver notes

The driver can complete this call when it has NMEA data to send to the calling client. This calling client will typically be a test tool created by the OEM.

The calling client that wishes to receive NMEA data needs to do the following tasks:

Ensure that NMEA logging is active.
Ensures that this request is always pending, so that the driver can return NMEA data when available.

When the driver completes the I/O call, the calling client will need to issue another IOCTL to continue waiting for further NMEA data.
