Implementation of GPS System using Blackfin Processor BF527

In today’s world, human beings want to stay connected with each other and their surroundings. Global Positioning System (GPS) is one of the technologies which is used to determine the exact position of various objects. It is more widely used for military purposes. Various equipments like GPS are increasingly driven by embedded processors, also entering the picture are embedded design needs that include securing intellectual property, lowering power dissipation, minimizing cost, and cutting development time. Blackfin is one such type of processors. In this paper we implement GPS system using BF527. The Software implementation is done using VDK++.
