so, has anyone gotten Avare to work with this?
I've been testing with Avare. I'm not flient with the App (as I use Garmin Pilot App). It connects and provides weather and traffic as expected.

Tony - which port do you have Avare set to use in the I/O helper app: 4000 or 43211?
AvNav EFB developer here.
We are very excited to hear about Stratux - thanks Jesse for the heads up. Stratux is now a first class citizen in Avnav EFB - we are expecting it to be running on port 4000 with "stratux" as wifi id. We may make this configurable in future.
Thank you and look for some exciting development in this area in near future.

Sorry if this is obvious to some, but also make sure you use the recommended utility to put the file on the card. You don't just copy it over with file explorer or finder. The utility makes the SD card a bootable drive.
I'd be even more interested in just software to stream data directly out from a serial port from the Pi itself. Wifi to serial seems a little overkill (and another potential point of failure). Either way, though, I'd love to see a GDL-39 emulated data stream from a serial port. If you can send data in a format my Garmin 496 or its eventual replacement 696 or Aera 5xx could understand, I'd be very interested.I'm working on a serial interface that connects to the GRT EFIS using the same serial interface as the ZAON (2 wires). It also connects to the Stratux ADS-B receiver WiFi and streams the ADS-B data to the EFIS. You get everything on your panel that you would on Foreflight -- METARS, TAFS, NOTAMS, Radar and Traffic. I have completed beta testing and the unit works great.
Is there any interest in this?

Hi Mark- I'm very interested in an ADSB-IN solution that would feed my AFS EFIS via serial hardline input. I'm not sure if the GRT data stream is different from what the AFS EFIS requires. Navworx offers the only COTS solution available right now in their ADS-600 EXP for $1300. The EFIS is a lot easier to see in the cockpit than the IPAD. Would be cool to have the same data stream over wifi (or bluetooth?) feed the IPAD as a redundant display.I'm working on a serial interface that connects to the GRT EFIS using the same serial interface as the ZAON (2 wires).

Yes, there is.
I intend to use Stratux as the IN part of my RV-3B system, and have assumed it would show on an iPad. If I have the option of hardwiring it to an EFIS, that would be a good option for sure.
Keep the interface as generic as possible to make it easy for other EFIS companies to use it.

Didn't know that, thanks. Any idea whether your TIS-B data stream can be used to provide audible traffic alerts, either from the AFS box (4500 in my case) or some other means? That is a requirement for me.

I only ask this question because I don't believe that the AFS 4500 provides audible traffic alerts. I have a GTX-330 mode S transponder, and I believe that outputs audible traffic alerts directly - as well as sending traffic to the EFIS (for display only). Just trying to understand if it is going to be possible to keep audible traffic alerts with the addition of a serial ADSB-IN serial data stream to my current EFIS and I don't think it is.EFIS software compares your location and vector, compares to other traffic, and alerts. GRT does support this, and yes the ADS-B / GDL90 data is used for this purpose.
Does your EFIS take GDL90 data over the serial input? Pretty sure the Navworx outputs that format. Most serial-equipped receivers do. If you're buying an out system anyway, I'd go that route. My interface is for those who have no out capability or are out-capable but no serial link - only wireless.
I'm pretty sure upgrading my GTX-330 to add ES will be my cheapest option for achieving ADS-B "OUT" capability. That leaves the question as to what to do for "IN" capability.
I don't think the AFS4500 will take GDL90 data via serial input (at least the manual doesn't say it does). I think traffic must be ICARUS protocol per their manual. Compatible receivers include the Navworx ADS-600 EXP for $1299 (RS-232, 57.6 k baud) & Dynon SV-ADSB-470 for $995. I believe that both are UAT only (978 MHz) receivers.
A Stratux which adds a serial hardline to my EFIS might be a nice alternative.
Any new update on the Raspberry Pi Stratux? Looking at putting all my parts together. Is there a newer ISO file out there than the Aug 2015 one to download?
Thanks for your input.
Brian
Thanks. Will download the new IMG file when I get home Friday.
Anyone know of a source for a cheap USB GPS that can plug into the Pi for position.
Thanks in advance.
Brian
I've put together a couple "Stratux" with that USB GPS. I'd suggest watching the price. It seems to fluctuate regularly. I picked up my first one for $15 and then a couple more when the price bounced down to $12.
