ANTSDR E200 DJI DroneID Firmware with Network Interface Integration

This firmware is designed to enable DJI DroneID detection on the ANTSDR E200 device and seamlessly transmit the results to a network interface and port. With just a few simple steps, users can enhance their ANTSDR E200 capabilities and utilize it as a powerful tool for drone identification and network integration.

Features:

• DJI DroneID Detection: Identify DJI drones within the vicinity using the ANTSDR E200.
• Network Interface Integration: Transmit detection results to a specified network interface and port for further analysis or monitoring.
• Easy Installation: Simply copy the contents of the provided zip file to the root directory of an SD card for the ANTSDR E200 device.
• Compatibility with Kismet: Serve as a capture device for Kismet, allowing users to capture and analyze wireless network data alongside DJI DroneID detection.

Confirmed Working (still) on:

• DJI Mini 2 01.07.0200 firmware

Usage:

1. Preparation:

   • Configure your LAN port to a static IP of 192.168.1.2.

2. Installation:

   • Download the provided zip file.
   • Extract the contents to the root directory of an SD card.

3. Execution:

   • Insert the SD card into the ANTSDR E200 device.
   • Power on the device.

4. Usage with Kismet (Nightly Releases):

   • Ensure Kismet is running.
   • Execute the following command:

     kismet_cap_antsdr_droneid --source antsdr-droneid:host=192.168.1.10,port=41030 --connect localhost:3501 --tcp

   • Ensure the LAN port IP address matches the configuration.

5. Integration with DroneID and DragonSync (for CoT/TAK):

   1. Run dji_receiver.py:
      After the ANTSDR E200 is running with the new firmware, execute the dji_receiver.py script to capture incoming DroneID data from the ANTSDR E200 on your local machine.
   2. Run zmq_decoder.py:
      In the same DroneID repository, execute zmq_decoder.py with the following command (substituting IP/ports as needed):

      python3 zmq_decoder.py --dji 127.0.0.1:4221

      This listens on port 4221 for incoming data from dji_receiver.py and provides the decoded results on port 4224.
   3. Run dragonsync.py:
      From the DragonSync repository, run:

      python3 dragonsync.py

      This connects to the zmq_decoder.py output on port 4224, receiving the decoded drone information and converting it into Cursor-On-Target (CoT) or forwarding it to a TAK server for advanced situational awareness.

Important Note: Changing the ANTSDR E200 IP Address

If you decide to change the IP address that the ANTSDR E200 uses when running this DJI firmware, please be aware of the following:

• You must also update:
  • The static IP of your host computer interface.
  • Any hard-coded IP references in dji_receiver.py.
  • Any command-line flags that reference the ANTSDR E200’s IP address (e.g., in Kismet commands).

Steps to Change the IP:

1. Power on the device and SSH into the current IP using:
   • Username: root
   • Password: abawavearm
2. Set a new IP by running the following command (replace NEW_IP_ADDRESS with your desired IP):

   fw_setenv ipaddr_eth NEW_IP_ADDRESS

3. Power off the ANTSDR E200.
4. Power on the device again, and now the DJI firmware will be reachable at the new IP.

Note: QSPI mode will also switch to the new IP, but changing the IP for UHD-based firmware requires a separate process. Note: Nightly releases of Kismet are required for integration with the ANTSDR E200 device.
