If you’re after a binary of dump1090 for the Raspberry Pi without having to build it, here’s a compiled binary for you.

I built it on Arch linux, but it also works on Raspbian, or likely any other Arm processor as well.

It’s version 1.09.0608.14 of the MalcolmRobb fork

You can download it from here:
https://www.john.geek.nz/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/dump1090.tar.bz2

It requires rtl-sdr which is available for raspian (apt-get install rtl-sdr) or Arch (pacman -Sy rtl-sdr).

If you’re using Arch and unsure…
