Dynon Previews Integrated IFR GPS Navigation Capability for SkyView HDX

Also, can anyone say whether this capability will use an existing SV-GPS-2020 GPS receiver, or will it require a separate GPS antenna?

i don't think it's possible. The IFR certification requires integrity monitoring and accuracy and spoofing detection for the computed position. My guess is that SV-GPS-2020 uses an off the shelf WAAS GPS module, something like U-BLOX, which spits out the position without the FAA mandated verification. The entire code path for the position calculation must be tracable, and that means Dynon would have to reprogram the off the shelf module to comply with the standard or provide traceabiliy if someone else does it. very unlikely IMO. If it's UBLOX - its firmware is propriatary and cannot be modified by Dynon to comply with the FAA standards. Just a wild guess though.
