    You did save the new device tree monitor configuration and rebooted? You checked after reboot that the pins are set correctly?

    After that did you played around with baudrate 9600 or 4800 or according the GPS baudrate and other settings according the GPS manual?

    Yes , did. I saved the configuration and i reboot.
    The boudrate for gps is 9600 but I still can't read the GPS data with minicom or gpsd from terminal .You can suggest a guide for this ?
    (GPS works with arduino)

    Thank you so much!!

    Do you mean on a arduino or on the arduino side of the Neo? Does the GPS sends 3.3V signals and not 5V? What is the GPS make and type? Link?

    I am not an expert on this but the Udoo Neo has 3.3V GPIO pins so it cannot handle 5V signals. I think you need a voltage converter like this http://blog.sunyday.net/?p=36
    I believe you can buy them as an pcb also.
