I think I am stuck. The closed-sourced GPS binary that Logic PD did
was done a 3rd party which has since been sold, and Logic PD never had
the source code, I just get junk with this driver:

$GPGLL,,,,,,V,N*64
$GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53
$GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66
$GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K,N*2C
$GPGSA,M,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*12
$GPGSV,1,1,00*79
$GPGLL,,,,,,V,N*64
$GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53
$GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66
$GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K,N*2C
$GPGSA,M,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*12
$GPGSV,1,1,00*79
$GPGLL,,,,,,V,N*64
$GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53
$GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66
$GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K,N*2C
$GPGSA,M,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*12
$GPGSV,1,1,00*79

I am not 100% positive, but I think the antenna might be required to
be powered. I'll talk with the HW engineer who designed the Torpedo +
Wireless SOM and see if he remembers anyhthing about the GPS. I know
for a fact that Logic PD doesn't have the source code for their GPS
demo, and I know it doesn't work with modern kernels, so i can't
compare the performance.
