Are you sure you have a Radarcape?
If so, you are on the the wrong site.
As the name suggests, PiAware runs on a Raspberry Pi, while the Radarcape uses a BeagleBone board and is sold by Jetvision.
Your software version number suggests you are running a PiAware receiver, in which case you will always find the latest image on the Build a PiAware ADS-B Receiver page.
Actually, the Radarcapes do run PiAware directly. They use a beaglebone running a Debian variant, which is close enough to a Pi that the same packages work OK.
The latest version of PiAware for the radarcape is the same as the latest version for the Pi - 3.8.0 - though you should probably check with Jetvision as we donāt explicitly test it and I know there are a few different base versions of the Radarcape base OS around, so youād need to be sure to pick up the version for a distribution that matches what the Radarcape is using.
Thanks - I didnāt know there were that close.
(Iāve got a BB Black, but itās doing a very different job inside an HP Freq. counter).
Correct me if Iām wrong, but the Radarcape ships with its own firmware unrelated to PiAware - yes?
Yes - but look at the āmajor version 2ā page, which is where they switched to debian (from angstrom?) and started supporting native piaware
Upgrading the radarcape to debian is dead easy see the radarcape wiki.
After following the instruction to get piaware onto the radarcape Iām pretty sure i just āsudo apt-get updateā & āsudo apt-get upgradeā to update the piaware image now.
