But now the sailing season has started, I now have some more time to work on it, and make it available for download. I guess that with the lack of response, I'll probably end-up not mainlining it, but just downstream-packaging a module for various distributions like OpenPlotter.

But I think I want to move to exposing a chrdev to userspace. That's easier to deal with from Signalk directly.

It works almost exactly like https://github.com/jamesroscoe/seatalk, but uses the new Linux platform driver api so that this works on the Pi 5 too. I've also completely ripped out the decoding of the datagrams and the userspace API and use genetlink now. On my test set-up, I have a userspace daemon that converts the raw ST1 datagrams to/from ST1-over-nmea0183 and exposes a TCP-socket for nmea0183 data. That is then what SignalK connects to.
