Update on SBS1 for NSLU2 Linux
Today I've successfully built and run a testing version of SBS-1 software for NSLU2 Linux (SlugOS LE). It's been working non stop for more than 4 hours now and the CPU usage is below 2.5% (266MHz ARM CPU). This leaves plenty of room for other tasks as web data visualisation and/or data sharing!
Update on SBS1 for Mac and Linux
It's been quite a few weeks since the last post so it's time for updates. During the past few weeks I haven't had much time for SBS1 as I've been working on my university projects + some tasks I had been postponing since I don't know when :/ I am still working on decoding the RAW data, aircrafts' positions in particular. AC positions are encoded using CPR ( Compact Position Reporting ) which was not mentioned in the ICAO Annex 10. Luckily doing some Googling I was able to find the necessary docs ( 174+ pages ) and now I will be able to decode it finally :)
SBS1 under Linux and Mac OS X
Maybe there ain't too many SBS1 owners who'd like to use their boxes under Linux or OS X, but still I think I'm not the only one. This is why I started reverse engineering the BaseStation application and protocol to make an equivalent piece of software that would work *natively* under other operating systems.
