Introduction

This document provides setup and usage reference for the Swift Navigation's Precision GNSS Module
(PGM) Evaluation Kit.
The Evaluation Kit - featuring Swift's mPCIe format PGM receiver installed in an Onlogic IoT
computer platform - provides a turn-key demonstration of Swift's precision positioning solution. The
PGM provides real-time precision GNSS and IMU measurements, and is designed specifically for
Swift's Starling® positioning engine running on a host application processor. When used with Swift's
Skylark™ cloud-based precise corrections service, the PGM Evaluation Platform (PGM EVP) delivers
even stronger performance and higher accuracy levels. The Evaluation Kit is ideal for customers
building industrial, last mile and Internet of Things (IoT) platforms that require the ability to quickly
install on a target platform and test performance in the field.
The PGM Evaluation Kit includes everything needed to install this GNSS system in your application
and quickly get started with precise RTK positioning. It also comes with a 6-month Skylark trial.
This manual describes Evaluation Kit with files version 1.6.0. The software update procedure is
described in
Appendix
A.
