This is the SBP driver for Piksi, Lodestar and other forthcoming Swift Navigation GPSes.
This driver currently implements three things:
- Implements a lightweight SBP protocol detection system
- Implements Piksi as a single-point-positioning GPS (same as ublox/others)
- Implements hardware logging of GPS health and baseline messages
Forthcoming iin future updates:
- Need to implement the RTK functionality
This is a complete rewrite of the GPS driver structure, with a static
main driver and separate backend drivers. This will allow proper
support for multiple GPSes, and will allow parameters to be set on the
GPS object
This should obsolete AP_GPS_HIL as it's a little more versatile (and it will generate cheaper code).

Nuke AP_GPS_IMU, as nothing is using it anymore.
Simplify the handling of no GPS/no fix detection.
Fix prototypes for ::init and ::read.
Update AP_GPS_Auto and corresponding example, nearly ready for primetime.
Use uint8_t rather than byte.
Strip some _error() calls to save space. More could still go.

Note that this is currently disabled as changes need to be made to APM to support it.
Tested with MTK, u-blox and SiRF GPS'.
