How does this affect the UAT978? I’m running both the 1090 and 978 receivers on my RPi.

On my Pi-4, I have 2020-05-27-raspios-buster-arm64.img
I have originally installed ver 3.8.1 of piaware and dump1090-fa by building packages from source code as given in the how-to linked below.
To upgrade, I repeated the process of building source code, but as the master baranch is now at ver 4.0, the built packes are version 4.0.
However I had to install two additional dependencies of dump1090-fa, which were not required for ver 3.8.1, and hence not included in the how-to linked below:
$ sudo apt install libhackrf-dev liblimesuite-dev
Howto Install Piaware 3.8.1 on 64 bit Raspberry Pi OS (Raspbian) / Pi4

Does piaware-config -show wireless-connection return yes? I’d double check your wireless SSID and password.
The simplest thing to do might be starting fresh and re-image with 4.0. Once flashed, open piaware-config.txt and edit the wireless-ssid and wireless-password settings. And add the following line at the end to use your existing feeder id.
feeder-id <insert feeder_id here>
The update should work fine. The new SkyAware updates will apply to SkyAware978 map as well.
If you are using 64-bit Respbian and have build & installed ver 3.8.1 packages from source-code, then:
- You already have all the build tool and dependencies (except two new one) already installed.
- You already have source-code on your Pi in following folders:
- dump1090
- piaware_builder
To build packages for version 4.0, do this:
DUMP1090-FA
sudo apt install libhackrf-dev liblimesuite-dev
cd dump1090
git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/master
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b --no-sign
cd ../
sudo dpkg -i dump1090-fa_4.0_arm64.deb
PIAWARE
cd piaware_builder
git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/master
sudo ./sensible-build.sh buster
cd package-buster
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b --no-sign
cd ../
sudo dpkg -i piaware_4.0_arm64.deb

Is there a way to add the correct packages to give you the display on an upgrade to the 3.8.1 SD card? Getting radios sorted out was kind of ugly and I hate to go through it again.
I have above
and did below twice still all info shows 3.81 im just a little annoyed as it should work
i have no problem redoing installs all night long
id rather fix this 1
when i watch build i only see version 3.8.1 mentioned in both builds dump1090 & piaware_builder
Although on my Piaware SD Card image ver 3
8.1, I have successfully upgraded piaware and dump1090-fa from my stats page to ver 4.0, I am soon going to re-image with the ver 4.0 microSD card image.
My personal experience tells that reimaging with latest image has much less issues in long term than upgrading from a previous version.
Add another to the list of lost “terrain limit rings”
Upgraded and restarted piaware and dump1090
restarted dump1090 severa times after confirming upintheair.json in the proper directory.
Cleared browser cache, tried from fresh browser instance on different local device.
Both FA feeder stats page and skyaware page recognize version 4.0
FA Site Information: PiAware (SD Card) 4.0
skyaware sidebar: [4.0~bpo8+1]
Interested in a solution here.
Upgraded and the display works great but the touchscreen is not working. Is there anywhere to enable this?
Are you using the 3.5 inch Waveshare LCD A? Touch screen should work unless something is wrong with the display.

I did the remote update to 4.0 on my other PiAware. Went smooth as silk!

Were you able to figure this out? I can get to the map page with 192.168.0.XXX:8080. But I can’t get to the landing page. I get the same 403 forbidden. I’ve cleared my caches, tried different browsers. 4.0 version appears everywhere; I have all functionality except landing page access.
@jonathancarey The landing page is not present with PiAware package installs, only SD card installs. I have not done it myself, but I believe you can install the piaware-web package to get it.
sudo apt-get install piaware-web
Installing piaware-web on a non-SD card system will work, BUT, make sure you don’t already have any default files (index.html) in the /var/www/html directory - I had been running httpd on port 80 for another purpose and forgot about the previously created index.html - I had to delete it, then
sudo apt-get install --reinstall piaware-web
to get the status page to operate correctly.

You need a git pull or a git fetch or a git clone in there somewhere to actually get the 4.0 updates.

Unfortunately, in my (somewhat odd, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS i386) scenario, the latest LimeSuite I seem to be able to install is 17.12. Attempting to build with this throws a bunch of errors as below. Doesn’t look like LimeSuite.pc is anywhere actually on the file system.
Package LimeSuite was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `LimeSuite.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'LimeSuite' found
Thanks, I will correct my post now
Not sure which package ended up containing the correct .pc file, but I installed Lime Suite via the instructions for Ubuntu here:
https://wiki.myriadrf.org/Lime_Suite
dump1090 build appears successful. Building piaware now, and then will try to install both.
