I mean, that’s probably deliberate, a change in the major version likely means that the libraries are no longer binary-compatible and you should rebuild/relink against the new version.
upstream versioning and debian versioning also don’t necessarily match.
pick one source, stick with it.
Personally my first choice is to use packages from Debian Repository, as these are very easy to install by simply issuing the command `sudo apt install [package name].
Unless there is some problem in using package from Debian Repository, I dont see any logic in taking trouble to install/build package from upstream source.
As is the case of librtlsdr-dev package, the Debian Repo supplied package works perfectly well on all my Pis (armhf arm64) and PC (amd64 x86_64). I never used upstream librtlsdr-dev package. It was @temp345 who, under misunderding that this package is not available in Debian Repo, used package from upstream source, and as result his dump1090-fa failed.
@abcd567 … I just checked the FA download page and it still shows 8.2 image which I believe uses Bullseye as the OS. Do you know when FA is going to release a new image with Bookworm as the OS?
If you don’t know, is there a way to install FA on a RPi which already has Bookworm installed?
This is planned but I don’t have a date for it.
Yes, just a regular package install will work (we do distribute Bookworm packages): PiAware - dump1090 ADS-B integration with FlightAware - FlightAware
Does anyone have a concise step by step upgrade process to upgrade to Bookworm ? I’ve tried to follow this article and I’m more confused than when I started.
This procedure is outdated. Please do not use it.
Cleanest and trouble-free method is to re-image microSD card using Raspberry Pi Imager, then re-install all feeders.
It is highly recomended to use a Spare microSD card for re-imaging, and keep the existing microSD card intact. This will enable you to instantly restore your setup in case something goes wrong in re-imaging.
For latest step-by-step instructions, please see following re-imaging “How-to”, which I have posted only yesterday (May 12, 2024)
my feeder is a pain in the a**e location in the attic, so i’d like to upgrade it over the wire rather than get up there to install a new SD card and then hope all works.
In this case, please read following post, though I do not recommend this method, and prefer the cleaner method of re-imaging.
@obj… any update on when the image will include Bookworm?
@abcd567 … is it possible to run Flightradar and PiAware on the same RPi4?
Yes, sure it is possible.
I have fr24feed installed on all my RPis running dump1090-fa (decoder) and piaware (data-feeder)
(1) IMPORTANT: Make sure that dump1090-fa is installed before you attempt to install Flightradar24 feeder using the command given below
(2) Copy-paste following commaand in Terminal or PuTTY
wget -qO- https://fr24.com/install.sh | sudo bash -s
During installation, you will be asked to enter email, sharing key (if you already have one) or latitude, longitude altitude etc.
At end it will ask following question. Type yes to answer
Would you like default configuration? (*yes*/no)$: yes
When Installation completes, issue following commands
sudo systemctl enable fr24feed
sudo systemctl restart fr24feed
Hi abcd567
i tried and tried last night to get 256gb m.2 working with pi5 and bookworm
all is now working thanks to your work
Has anyone worked out how to switch bias t on?
Thanks for the work in getting it up and running on bookworm, works a treat but I need a bookworm compatible bias t switch on and so it persists thru reboots.
Here are links to scripts that may work for you.
Turn On Bias Tee
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiedehopf/adsb-scripts/master/biastee-enable.sh
Turn Off Bias Tee
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiedehopf/adsb-scripts/master/biastee-disable.sh
Many thanks to @wiedehopf
Thanks but unfortunately they just break 1090 and mlat. So if anyone is using the helpful script to install, don’t use the bias tee scripts as you’ll be rebuilding after. I am greatful to you for pointing them out. I’m currently using a battery on my LNA.
I use one of these, and supply 5volts via a cut off old USB cable. Red wire inside is positive, black wire is negative, ignore the others. Just an example, others are also available. Be sure to plug your SDR into the USB2 sockets on a Pi4, less MLAT problems vs the USB3 connection. But the USB3 connections are good for powering the Bias-T devices.
Hmmm, the scripts work for me on 64 bit RPi (3B, 3B+, 4, 5) Bookworm. I have bias tee turned on and have no issues with 1090 or mlat.
How long ago did you try? Perhaps something has changed in bookworm since then and now, to cause the scripts to incorrectly configure my build. I’ll spend some time trying to work out how the script works, see if it means anything to me.
I used the scripts a few days ago while setting up a new RPi.
