All tutorials I followed suggested to remove the `serial0=11500` line from `/boot/cmdline.txt`. My question, is this necessary? And if it is, how would I remove this using rpi-ua-netinst?\r\n\r\nThere has been some attention for the NTP/time functionality and I wonder if I'd need to make some drastic changes in NTP in order to use GPS timestamps?\r\n\r\nI managed to get the lang, lat, timestamp in my Qt app but when I do that, other parts of the OS cannot access the serial port for the GPS anymore (restricted to one user). So rather than using it on an app-level I'd like to use it on a system-wide level where `date` returns a GPS time. I've read a couple of tutorials and I think I know how to setup the NTP stuff but I just wonder if you see any implications using rpi-ua-netinst."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/FooDeas/raspberrypi-ua-netinst/issues/comments/258042132","html_url":"https://github.com/FooDeas/raspberrypi-ua-netinst/issues/44#issuecomment-258042132","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/FooDeas/raspberrypi-ua-netinst/issues/44","id":258042132,"user":{"login":"thijstriemstra","id":305679,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/305679?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/thijstriemstra","html_url":"https://github.com/thijstriemstra","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thijstriemstra/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thijstriemstra/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thijstriemstra/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thijstriemstra/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thijstriemstra/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thijstriemstra/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thijstriemstra/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thijstriemstra/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thijstriemstra/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-11-03T00:47:36Z","updated_at":"2016-11-03T00:47:36Z","body":"So should I use `/dev/serial0` instead but still remove it from `cmdline`?"}}
