21.2. ARM Platforms: HF and EL
There are two main flavors of executable on ARM: HF (Hard Float) binaries, and EL (EABI Little
Endian) binaries. These two families are not compatible at all. The compatibility of a given ARM
platform with of one of these two families depends on the hardware and on the OS build. ArmHL and
ArmEL compatibility problems are quite difficult to detect. Most of the time, the OS itself is unable to
make a difference between an HF and an EL executable and will return meaningless messages
when you try to use the wrong type of binary.
All pre-compiled Yoctopuce binaries are provided in both formats, as two separate ArmHF et ArmEL
executables. If you do not know what family your ARM platform belongs to, just try one executable
from each family.
21.3. Powered module but invisible for the OS
If your Yocto-GPS is connected by USB, if its blue led is on, but if the operating system cannot see
the module, check that you are using a true USB cable with data wires, and not a charging cable.
Charging cables have only power wires.
21.4. Another process named xxx is already using yAPI
If when initializing the Yoctopuce API, you obtain the "
Another process named xxx is already using
yAPI
" error message, it means that another application is already using Yoctopuce USB modules. On
a single machine only one process can access Yoctopuce modules by USB at a time. You can easily
work around this limitation by using a VirtualHub and the network mode

21.5. Disconnections, erratic behavior
If you Yocto-GPS behaves erratically and/or disconnects itself from the USB bus without apparent
reason, check that it is correctly powered. Avoid cables with a length above 2 meters. If needed,
insert a powered USB hub

21.6. Where to start?
If it is the first time that you use a Yoctopuce module and you do not really know where to start, have
a look at the Yoctopuce blog. There is a section dedicated to beginners
