Piaware v10 -- config.txt doesn't look right to me

[rsmath]

My Piaware was version 8.2 running on Stretch. Raspberry Pi 3 .
I decided to upgrade to version 10 and decided since the OS was many versions ago, I’d do a clean install on a new microSD card.

I copied config.txt from 8.2 just to have some of the settings to put in that file on version 10 after installation.

I put my microSD card in my PC SD card slot, used the Raspberry Pi imager program to put Raspberry Pi 3 bookworm on the card, then popped it out of the PC and into my Raspberry Pi 3 to go through the rest of the installation (Piaware installation instructions using APT repository method).

installed piaware, dump1090 and dump798 and rebooted. Went to /boot/config.txt and it said it was moved to /boot/firmware/config.txt so I went there and that config.txt file looks nothing like the one from version 8.2 so I don’t know where to put my existing feeder ID. I found a command to sho w the current feeder ID and it was not my old one I want to keep.

What should I do to get a proper config.txt that I can edit with my feeder ID and dongle SNR level settings?

You want /boot/firmware/piaware-config.txt (for a PiAware sdcard image) or /etc/piaware.conf (for a package install), not config.txt

config.txt is the Pi’s bootloader configuration file.

used the Raspberry Pi imager program to put Raspberry Pi 3 bookworm on the card,

sudo nano /etc/piaware.conf

 

Alternative:
Use following commands. These will save data in file:

• /etc/piaware.conf (package install on rasberrypi os image)
• /boot/firmware/piaware-config.txt (on piaware SDcard image)

sudo piaware-config feeder-id xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx  
sudo piaware-config allow-manual-updates yes  
sudo piaware-config allow-auto-updates yes  
sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type sdr
sudo systemctl restart piaware  

Dongle Serial Numbers
These are saved in following files:

/etc/default/dump1090-fa

/etc/default/dump978-fa

thank you everyone! That made my ads-b dashboard show a recent checkin (not hours ago last checkin) when I put my feeder ID in the file, the 978 part is working now, and three boxes on my dashboard are green and not red status colored.

You can close this now,
