10.1 update, where did my 978 receiver go?

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking

I recently updated my piaware to 10.1. Didn’t think to make a backup of the old card or setup data and just installed 10.1 on the same SD card.

Now, only my 1090 receiver is working. My second receiver for 978 is no where to be seen.

I’ve tried looking for instructions on how to setup a 2nd 978 receiver, but have not had any luck. Can someone point me to where those instructions are?

1 - Configure UAT 978

Issue following commands:

sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type sdr
sudo piaware-config rtlsdr-device-index 00001090
sudo piaware-config uat-sdr-device driver=rtlsdr,serial=00000978

NOTE:
In above commands, I have used serial numbers as follows

  • 1090 Dongle: 8-digit 00001090
  • 978 Dongle: 8-digit 00000978

Instead of above serial numbers, please use the serial numbers with which you have serialized your dongles
You can check their serial numbers by following command

sudo apt install rtl-sdr
rtl_test -t

2 - Reboot Pi to implement configuration settings

sudo reboot

3 - Check Status

sudo systemctl status piaware  
sudo systemctl status dump1090-fa  
sudo systemctl status dump978-fa
