dump1090-fa is a ADS-B, Mode S, and Mode 3A/3C demodulator and decoder that will receive and decode aircraft transponder messages received via a directly connected software defined radio, or from data provided over a network connection.
It is the successor to dump1090-mutability and is maintained by FlightAware.
It can provide a display of locally received aircraft data in a terminal or via a browser map. Together with PiAware it can be used to contribute crowd-sourced flight tracking data to FlightAware.
It is designed to build as a Debian package, but should also be buildable on many other Linux or Unix-like systems.
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential debhelper librtlsdr-dev pkg-config dh-systemd libncurses5-dev libbladerf-dev libhackrf-dev liblimesuite-dev
$ dpkg-buildpackage -b --no-sign
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential debhelper librtlsdr-dev pkg-config dh-systemd libncurses5-dev libbladerf-dev
$ dpkg-buildpackage -b --no-sign
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
This is packaged with jessie. sudo apt-get install librtlsdr-dev
Nothing special, just build it (dpkg-buildpackage -b
)
The package supports some build profiles to allow building without all required SDR libraries being present. This will produce a package with limited SDR support only.
Pass --build-profiles
to dpkg-buildpackage
with a comma-separated list of
profiles. The list of profiles should include custom
and zero or more of
rtlsdr
, bladerf
, hackrf
, limesdr
depending on what you want:
$ dpkg-buildpackage -b --no-sign --build-profiles=custom,rtlsdr # builds with rtlsdr support only
$ dpkg-buildpackage -b --no-sign --build-profiles=custom,rtlsdr,bladerf # builds with rtlsdr and bladeRF support
$ dpkg-buildpackage -b --no-sign --build-profiles=custom # builds with _no_ SDR support (network support only)
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.
make HACKRF=no
will disable HackRF support and remove the dependency on
libhackrf.
make LIMESDR=no
will disable LimeSDR support and remove the dependency on
libLimeSuite.
Minimal testing on Mojave 10.14.6, YMMV.
$ brew install librtlsdr
$ brew install libbladerf

Minimal testing on 12.1-RELEASE, YMMV.
