Install SigDigger agent (suscli/suscan) for plutoSDR stock firmware.

Note 1: changes are lost after reboot ! --> read-only filesystem
Note 2: Sigdigger version on host computer should be installed from 'master' branch, version 0.2.0 (as of 22th july 2021).

From pluto terminal :


Step 1 : download patch 

- Pluto is connected to internet and able to ping external hosts :
wget -q  http://www.lamableu.net/pluto/sigdigger/sigdigger-agent.tgz -O /tmp/sigdigger-agent.tgz

- Pluto is not connected to internet
Download file: http://www.lamableu.net/pluto/sigdigger/sigdigger-agent.tgz
Transfer sigdigger-agent.tgz to pluto on /tmp directory using SCP.

Step 2 : install patch
gzip -dc /tmp/sigdigger-agent.tgz | tar -xf - -C /


This will install sigutils and suscan ( sigdigger agent modules), soapySDR and opkg utility.


Step3 : Check install


--> SoapySDRUtil --find

--> Step 4 : launch sigdigger agent on pluto

suscli devserv if=<IP pluto>
example : suscli devserv if=192.168.2.1

--> Step 5 : Note on opkg utility

opkg tools is added to this patch, allowing to test additional apps without reflashing.
However changes are lost at reboot, making it riskless.

If the pluto is connected to internet run 'opkg update'. This command will retrieve a list of plutoSDR applications coming from http://www.lamableu.net/pluto/ipk/

To install new application, example for dump1090:
opkg update
opkg install dump1090-pluto

Some dependencies might be missing in the package config file, but are present on repository. Install missing dependencies first in case of trouble, then report.
