Dump1090 is a simple Mode S decoder for RTLSDR devices

dump1090-fa Debian/Raspbian packages

This is a fork of dump1090-mutability customized for use within FlightAware's PiAware software.

It is designed to build as a Debian package.

Building under jessie

Dependencies - bladeRF

You will need a build of libbladeRF. You can build packages from source:

$ git clone https://github.com/Nuand/bladeRF.git $ cd bladeRF $ dpkg-buildpackage -b

Or Nuand has some build/install instructions including an Ubuntu PPA at https://github.com/Nuand/bladeRF/wiki/Getting-Started:-Linux

Or FlightAware provides armhf packages as part of the piaware repository; see https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/install

Dependencies - rtlsdr

This is packaged with jessie. "sudo apt-get install librtlsdr-dev"

Actually building it

Nothing special, just build it ("dpkg-buildpackage -b")

Building under wheezy

First run "prepare-wheezy-tree.sh". This will create a package tree in package-wheezy/. Build in there ("dpkg-buildpackage -b")

The wheezy build does not include bladeRF support.

Building manually

You can probably just run "make" after installing the required dependencies. Binaries are built in the source directory; you will need to arrange to install them (and a method for starting them) yourself.

"make BLADERF=no" will disable bladeRF support and remove the dependency on libbladeRF.

"make RTLSDR=no" will disable rtl-sdr support and remove the dependency on librtlsdr.
