Orange Pi PC -- a $15 alternative to RPi 2? So far, so good

Workaround for installing dump978-fa ver 7.0 on OrangePiPC / Armbian Bullseye from my PPA.

The dump978-fa, though got installed, but failed to run. This was due to failure of Armbian’s apt to install dependencies listed under “Recommends:” in package’s file debian/rules .

The workaround I did was to install these manually by following command:

sudo apt install soapysdr-module-rtlsdr
sudo apt install skyaware978
sudo systemctl restart dump978-fa

sudo systemctl status dump978-fa

I have compared the /etc/apt/source.list of Armbian and RaspberryPiOS, and found the difference is as follows:

Armbian points to "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian"
RaspberryPi OS points to "deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/"

 

NOTE: This workaround is not required when installing same package on RPi / RaspberryPi OS Bullseye. Apt automatically installs all required dependencies.
