GPS receiver module Skylab SKG17AH

General Description
The SkyNav SKG17AH is host-based solutions which is a highly cost-effective GPS solution since it eliminates the dedicated flash memory that is necessary
in stand-alone configurations where all of the GPS software runs on the GPS baseband. For host-based solutions, SKYLAB offers Install n Go TM which is a
full-featured Windows CE host application program and compatible with ARM-based embedded processors.It initializes the GPS hardware, manages the fully ported
Hosted Orion navigation software and provides a standard NMEA interface for Windows mapping software through an integrated virtual serial communication port.

This software allows for very easy installation of hosted Orion into the Windows CE environment, supporting a rapid product development cycle with a very attractive BOM. This version of the Orion software partitions the navigation and management functions onto the host, while real-time GPS signal processing remains fully embedded on the AR1511 single chip. This architecture is much easier to integrate with the host-based application software as it requires no
real-time resources from the host. This hosted solution also eliminates any need for local/dedicated flash or fixed ROM. Features and performance can continue to be enhanced, and upgraded as opposed to an approach utilizing fixed ROM.
