<para><application>gpsinit</application> initializes whatever
kernel-level modules are needed to enable special non-serial hardware
to communicate with a gpsd instance. Note: it will need root permissions
to load modules and perform other special operations, such as changing
kernel-interface baudrates.</para>
<para>At present, all modes of this tool are concerned with setting up
kernel-level interfaces to hardware on a CAN (Control Area Network) speaking
NMEA2000.</para>
<para>The program accepts the following options:</para>

<listitem>
<para> The dcan module needed for the beaglebone is part of the Linux kernel,
so no module is loaded in this case.</para>

<para>The parameter <parameter>interface_name</parameter> is needed for
slcan hardware only. It gives the name of the serial device to which the SL
CAN hardware is connected. The default is /dev/ttyUSB0.
