Have a 978 nesrd nano 2.
Want to change the 978 to 1090.
My 1090 sdr failed and i want to utilize the 978 sdr for 1090.
I can easily ssh into the PI and and change config file if anyone would be gracious enough to tell me how to reassign the 978 to work on 1090
Thank you
First install rtl-sdr
sudo apt install rtl-sdr
Next, keeping 978 sdr plugged-in, run following command and post its output:
rtl_test -t
STEP-1:
While only 978 sdr is plugged into RPi, change it’s serial from current 00000978 to 00001090 by following command:
sudo systemctl stop piaware dump1090-fa dump978-fa
rtl_eeprom -s 00001090
The last line of output generated will be:
Write new configuration to device [y/n]?
Press y then press Enter key.
STEP-2:
Unplug, then after few seconds replug the sdr into RPi.
After unplug-replug, run following command to check that the sdr is now showing serial 0001090
rtl_test -t
STEP-3:
Set serial number in config, and disable dump978-fa by following commands
sudo piaware-config rtlsdr-device-index 00001090
sudo piaware-config receiver-type rtlsdr
sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type none
sudo systemctl restart piaware dump1090-fa
