adsbx image 978 setup

Assign a serial to the SDRs:

Stop services that are using the SDRs:

sudo systemctl stop readsb
sudo systemctl stop dump978-fa

Unplug the 1090 SDR and set the serial for the 978 SDR:

sudo rtl_eeprom -s 978

Unplug the 978 SDR and set the serial for the 1090 SDR:

sudo rtl_eeprom -s 1090

Unplug both SDRs, plug them back in again to make the system aware of the new serials, a reboot is not sufficient.

If you're on the adsbx image and want to run dual SDRs for 1090 / 978: Edit /boot/adsbx-env using this command:

sudo nano /boot/adsbx-env

Remove the # at the start of this line:

RECEIVER_OPTIONS="--device 1090 --device-type rtlsdr --ppm 0"

and add a # at the start of this line:

#RECEIVER_OPTIONS="--device-type rtlsdr --ppm 0"

Ctrl-O and Y to save, Ctrl-X to exit

Edit /boot/adsb-config.txt and change DUMP978 to yes:

DUMP978=yes

(sudo nano /boot/adsbx-env to edit, Ctrl-O and Y to save, Ctrl-X to exit)
