Project Proposal
Goal:
To create a tight integration between an open source gps implementation, an inertial navigation system and an open source processing system.
Where and when?
I am a Norwegian student at NTNU, where I am studying satellite navigation. For my master thesis I will be investigating a open source implementation of a GPS receiver running on one of these systems:

http://www.gpscreations.com/Products_GPS1005.html
The open source gps software is the firmware that runs on a ARM core in the GPS baseband processor, but the system is going to be integrated with intertial navigation systems, so the main processing will have to be performed in a separate system.
How can You help?
Using a PowerPC system for development would be a significant benefit since the final target would most likely be an embedded system.
Positioning services like GPS and the coming European system Galilea are becoming more and more widespread. By creating an open source implementation of such systems the PowerPC platform could become an even more interesting platform for such purposes!
