    Hello,

    I am currently using a Berry GPS-GSM with a Pi Zero W.  I am also using a Kali Pi Zero ARM image from Offensive security.  I followed the instructions for the BerryGPS setup guide for Raspberry Pi; however, when I ‘cat /dev/serial0’, I receive the following output:

    The same thing happens when I ‘screen /dev/serial0 9600’.  Additionally, I am unable to view meaningful gps data with gpsmon.

    Here is my dmesg output:

    Please advise.  Thanks!

    this looks like a baud rate miss match.

    by default, the gps module is set to 9600

    what speed to you see when entering in stty -F /dev/serial0
