v1.2.0
a5f2c52

AetherSerialBridge puts serial-only station gear (Elecraft KAT500, KPA500, KXPA100 and similar) on the network as raw TCP for AetherSDR: one TCP port per device, from a station PC (Windows) or a Linux box / Raspberry Pi.

v1.2.0 is the first release from the AetherSDR organisation. Originally written by Ozy (K6OZY) at cloaked.agency.

What's new in 1.2

  • The project lives at AetherSDR/AetherSerialBridge. Links, update checks and docs now point here.
  • Linux: the polkit identifiers are now org.aethersdr.aetherserialbridge.* (they were agency.cloaked.aetherserialbridge.*). Install, update and uninstall remove the old policy file if it is still there.
  • Windows: Settings → Apps → Installed apps names AetherSDR as the publisher.

Upgrading from 1.1.0 or earlier

  • Linux: uninstall the old version, then install this release. Your settings are kept. See docs/linux.md.
  • Earlier builds check their old home for updates, so they won't offer 1.2.0 on their own. Download it from this page.

What it does

  • One program for Windows and Linux: a headless command line, a terminal UI and a desktop window, with a native service on each (SCM on Windows, systemd on Linux).
  • Install, update and uninstall from the window. On Windows it runs elevated and appears in Installed apps. On Linux and the Pi each step asks for one polkit prompt.
  • Built-in help in the terminal UI and the window. Follows AetherSDR's theme.
