I think I have things setup, but i'm getting weird interactions. 
Specifically, I can't seem to get GPSD to work and CGPS, but I can get cat, 
gpsmon and can access from python over serial.

cgps shows NO FIX and times out after a few seconds.

I can CAT the dev and I see the GPS

root@beaglebone:/# cat /dev/ttyO1
$GPGGA,054109.000,2117.0000,N,15749.0000,W,1,6,1.02,117.9,M,4.7,M,,*7C
$GPGSA,A,3,27,16,22,21,31,29,,,,,,,1.37,1.02,0.91*04
$GPRMC,054109.000,A,2117.0000,N,15749.0000,W,1.03,311.83,230614,,,A*7E
$GPVTG,311.83,T,,M,1.03,N,1.91,K,A*3E


GPSMON works

root@beaglebone:/# gpsmon /dev/ttyO1
