Hello, sorry for beating dead horse here but I'm trying to use dump1090 with bladeRF 2.0 micro xA4 https://www.nuand.com/product/bladerf-xa4/
Totally agree about low sensitivity mentioned in https://github.com/flightaware/dump1090/blob/master/bladerf/README and ADS-B performance really lacking comparing with cheapest USB sticks.
Would love to try https://github.com/flightaware/dump1090/blob/master/bladerf/decimate8-x40.rbf but it's not compatible with FPGA used in latest devices: xA4, xA5 and xA9. Is there any chance to get it refreshed a bit?
Also when running
dump1090-fa --device-type bladerf --gain 66 --bladerf-decimation 8 --bladerf-bandwidth 14000000 --freq 1085200000
on macOS 15.5 I'm getting
Sat May 17 21:02:23 2025 EDT dump1090-fa 10.0.1 starting up. bladeRF: unknown FPGA size, skipping FPGA loadbladerf_set_lpf_mode failed: Operation not supported
