dumpvdl2

dumpvdl2 is a lightweight, standalone VDL Mode 2 message decoder and protocol analyzer.
Features

Runs under Linux (tested on: x86, x86-64, Raspberry Pi)
Supports following SDR hardware:
RTLSDR (via rtl-sdr library)
Mirics SDR (via libmirisdr-4)
reads prerecorded IQ data from file
Decodes up to 8 VDL2 channels simultaneously
Outputs messages to standard output or to a file (with optional daily or hourly file rotation)
Outputs ACARS messages to PlanePlotter over UDP/IP socket
Supports message filtering by type or direction (uplink, downlink)
Outputs decoding statistics using Etsy StatsD protocol


Note: dumpvdl shall theoretically work with SDRPlay RSP using this library. However I don't have a real device to test it - I just tested dumpvdl2 on TV dongles with the same chipset. If you have SDRPlay at hand, please test it and share your feedback.
