Announcing the release of PiAware 6

You will need to build the package on your own.

EXTRA_OPTIONS. But it’s also enabled if SLOW_CPU is in use.

Unclear if you’re asking for an image, a package install, or install-from-source.

Sdcard image is linked in step 2 of PiAware - build your own ADS-B ground station for integration with FlightAware - FlightAware

Prebuilt arm packages are available via step 2 of PiAware - dump1090 ADS-B integration with FlightAware - FlightAware

To build from source, start from GitHub - flightaware/piaware_builder: Debian package builder for piaware

Found it here

wget https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages/pool/piaware/p/piaware-support/piaware-repository_6.1_all.deb

Thank you. I noticed the option in a long line of words when I ran “sudo systemctl status dump1090-fa” right after I posted. Figured that something turned it on…

I assume that’s not the package itself but the part where the repository on the client is updated so that afterwards “sudo apt install piaware” is working

It is exactly the file which is documented in the setup instructions here, but not the package itself.

Hi, I have a custom setup on a raspberry pi with kali os, so all I require is the piaware 6.1 deb file.
and yes, post installing the deb file I could run the following to complete my installation.
apt install update
apt install piaware

That’s not what he was asking for.
I assume he wants to setup the package using dpkg

It’s me who asked for the package :grinning:

:rofl:

kali os does have an image for armhf (32bit) and i have the same on my raspberry pi.

Sorry, I did not read your original post carefully and thought you mentioned PC and arch linux, and replied accordingly.

Later when I reviewed your post, I realised my mistake and deleted my post.

I have myself once installed Kali linux for Arm on RPi and have installed piaware and dump1090, but instead of using pre-built deb packages from Flightaware repository, used packages built from source code.

I have even posted the bash scripts to build and install these packages from source-code in kali linux forum:

Raspberry Pi Models 2, 3, 4 - Kali 2020.4 - Install dump1090-fa, Piaware, FR24, Planefinder, RB24

 

 

I have a PiZero w2

Seem to be having issues with it not booting the piware card. It’s not showing on my network at all.

You can’ t use the current image for a Pi Zero 2W. You have to install raspi os and use a package install.
There are several threads that outline that procedure to build the packages from source.

The Pi Zero 2 W will be supported in Piaware version 7, but there is no indication when this will be released

Current Piaware SD card image (ver 6.1) is Buster based and Pi Zero 2 W has issues with it. Install Raspberry Pi OS Lite Bullseye from raspberrypi org, and build & install piaware from source code. Use following how-to’s to do this.

STEP-1: Install Raspberrpi OS Lite Bullseye, using items 1, 2 & 3 of this how-to (do NOT use items 4, 5, 6, & 7):
[Package Install] How to Install and Configure Piaware on Raspberry Pi OS Image / RPi

 

STEP-2: Install dump1090-fa, piaware, piaware-web and dump978-fa (if required) from this how-to:
BULLSEYE: Automated Scripts for Building and Installing piaware, dump1090-fa, dump978-fa, & piaware-web, from source code

Hi, currently using PiAware (SD Card) 5.0

Please confirm that if I use the “Upgrade and Restart PiAware” command, that will upgrade to 6.1?

Thanks.

yes it will upgrade to the new version.

That will upgrade only Piaware.
You have to issue another command “Upgrade and Restart dump1090-fa” to update dump1090-fa and SkyAware map.

If you have installed dump978-fa also, you will have to issue command “Upgrade and Restart dump978-fa” to upgrade it and SkyAware978 map.

Hi, currently using PiAware (SD Card) 5.0, (Buster 10).

Please confirm that if I use the “Upgrade and Restart PiAware” command, then “Upgrade and Restart dump1090-fa”, that will upgrade to 7.1?

Thanks. G

Yes that will upgrade to the current version (7.2)
