This is not going to be a long post. Basically, I got the Pre-GO PPP working with the BeagleBone Black almost effortlessly through the Gumstix BBB Rover cape. Rover was designed to be a remote-controlled robotics cape with dual PWMs for motor control on either side of the board, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity and a whole lot of GPIO. Conveniently enough, it has the 5-pin GPS header module on-board as well.
I downloaded the custom Yocto image, loaded it on to an SD card and fired it up. Right away, I was able to see the raw GPS feed over a serial connection to UART04 but the image I had lacked the GPSD client tools. After I disabled the IP-over-USB service and the BeagleBone's Ethernet controller and my router stopped arguing, I apt-got the tools and monitored the GPS data for a while.
It's confirmed, the Pre-GO PPP works great with the BBB Rover cape.
Meanwhile, I've completed my final test for the RPCM + Pre-GO PPP and am in the midst of analyzing the data. I'll be posting my findings soon...
