EOSS Specific Changes

The eoss branch adds the following changes/features so that the dump1090-fa release can work relatively seamlessly on the EOSS SDR system:

• Updates to the web display and the underlying Javascript to Redirect the map source to the locally running OSM map server. This way map tiles are fetched from the local system and removes the need for a dedicated Internet connection.
• Apache is used as the web server of choice instead of lighttpd. The Apache configuration is modified to use an alias (/dump1090-fa) pointing to the /user/share/dump1090-fa/html directory.
• Parameter changes for the dump1090-fa daemon so that it looks to use only those RTL-SDR USB dongles that have been labeled with "ADSB" as their serial number. This allows multiple RTL-SDR dongles to be used on the SDR system (dump1090-fa uses one while the SDR system can use another).

For detailed instructions and build info for the eoss branch, please see the EOSS-Install-dump1090 under the eosstracker project.

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 stretch

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential debhelper librtlsdr-dev pkg-config dh-systemd libncurses5-dev libbladerf-dev
$ dpkg-buildpackage -b

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  
$ git checkout 2017.12-rc1  
$ 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.
