An Ameliorated Linux based Navigational Device

Abstract

The navigational tools are plays a vital role to find the route of ships. Among that path manoeuvrings equipment is an important equipment of the navigation system which uses manoeuvring all-digital operation technology to help people to use a sea chart digitally. Here presented a design of a new device based on the integrated navigation theory and the conventional apparatus. In this new system adopted the embedded architecture based on ARM, and the Linux real-time operating system was selected as the software platform, and use the Integrated Development Environment to achieve functional. To use ARM, this has high definition and less power consumption, and the real-time-system of Linux. This new device has more functions, high stability, less weight, less volume, less cost, less power consumption and accuracy of the device is maintained by the federated filter algorithm.
