This is my first cut at a page explaining how to decode ads-b/mode-s with a DVB-T dongle and the Beaglebone Black. The idea is to decode right by the antenna, then feed the data via ethernet to a network.
This installation is using Angstrom linux, which is what is supplied on the Beaglebone Black. Eventually I will try this on a few more linux distributions. I set it up on ubuntu and it worked, but I just wasn't in the mood to study "upstart" to harden the implementation. I managed to get systemd working on the Beaglebone Black and it looks rugged. That is, you can kill the instance of dump1090 running and the program reloads automatically. And of course it starts to run when you power the Beaglebone Black.
The next phase is to experiment with power over ethernet.
