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

Modifications:

• Aircraft database removed due to update from external source. See readme.
• Link columns removed in aircraft table.
• Additional column to indicate civil or military aircraft (requires special database).
• Additional row color alert in case of interesting aircraft (requires special database).
• Detailed aircraft model in selected block (requires special database).
• Additional special squawks used in Germany. (Rettungshubschrauber, Bundespolizei etc.)
• Additional aircraft operator database. Aircraft operator will be shown in selected block and as flight ident tooltip in table.
• Added basic support for feeding a single push server like VRS
• Fixed memory leaks on exit
• Optimized structure memory layout for minimum padding.

dump1090-fa tries to connect to a listening server, like a VRS push server.

For example feeding VRS at adsbexchange.com use the new parameters: --net-push-address feed.adsbexchange.com --net-push-port 30005 --net-push-beast

It is designed to build as a Debian package.

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

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

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

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.

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.
