Announcing Osmocom SIMtrace
by Harald Welte 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Hi all! After what has become much more time than originally anticipated, I'm happy to announce the first developer version of Osmocom SIMtrace: http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/SIMtrace (project page) git://git.osmocom.org/simtrace.git (host software + wireshark) git://git.gnumonks.org/openpcd.git (firmware) You can use it to passively sniff the smart card interface between SIM and phone. It consists of some firmware for an AT91SAM7S USB-attached microcontroller, together with a host PC program that receives the APDUs from USB. As none of my projects is complete without wireshark integration, SIMtrace abuses the GSMTAP format to feed messages into wireshark. A simplistic wireshark dissector for the GSM TS 11.11 APDUs is included, and it is expected to become much more complete in the fuutre (USIM support, parsing of file contents, etc.) What can you use it for? * Determine what is really going on between phone and sim * Debugging of SIM Application Toolkit (SAT) programs Why is it better than existing hardware like Season or the RebelSIM Scanner? * We do proper auto-bauding and support PPS, i.e. you can automatically see all communication on any SIM card interface * We support all clock rates / dividers as per the ISO 7816-3 spec Future plans: * In addition to passive tracing, implement SIM-card side interface in the hardware and have SIM/USIM simulator as host PC software. * Build custom board for it, with 1.8V SIM support Regards, Harald -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

Re: Linux + u-boot port to MT6235
by Marcin Mielczarczyk 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Hi, Finally I have running Linux on Sciphone G2. Code for U-Boot and Linux kernel can be found here: http://git.osmocom.org/gitweb?p=uboot-mt623x.git;a=summary http://git.osmocom.org/gitweb?p=linux-mt623x.git;a=summary To run U-Boot in RAM you can use osmocon loader for MTK. When U-Boot will start than you can load Linux kernel using serial port (U-Boot commands: loadb or loady). Default load address is set to 0x800000, so Linux kernel will be loaded there. To start executing Linux kernel type in following command: bootm 0x800000 After this command Linux kernel will be relocated, uncompressed and executed. After short time you should have working console in Linux. For testing purposes I prepared binaries which you can load and check that Linux works on your phone: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/marcin/g2_uboot.bin http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/marcin/g2_uImage.bin uImage binary has already ramfs image built in, so you don't need any additional filesystem. These binaries were also tested by Steve Markgraf and keytwo, so it should work on most G2s. Today I was also able to load files from MMC card in U-Boot, so hopefully this functionality will be available very soon. Next step will be running UBoot and Linux from NAND, to make development more convenient. Recently we discovered that Sciphone G2 phones are sold with different memory configurations. So far we identified 3 types of memories: HY27XS08121M - 512Mb (64MB) NAND + 32MB RAM (http://hynix.com/datasheet/pdf/flash/HY27US(08_16)12(1_2)B%20Series(Rev0.5)…) HY27XA081G1M - 1Gb (128MB) NAND + 32MB RAM (http://hynix.com/datasheet/eng/nand/details/small_11_HY27US081G1M.jsp?menu1…) TC58NVG0S3AFT - 1Gb (128MB) NAND + 64MB RAM (http://www.datasheetcatalog.com/datasheets_pdf/T/C/5/8/TC58NVG0S3AFT.shtml) This has to be detected in osmocon loader and U-Boot. I write about it so, you'll be aware of it. When U-Boot starts it detects your memory configuration and shows you how much NAND and RAM you have. If it comes to status of work in progress, following drivers are under development: - NAND controller (U-Boot/Linux) - SD/MMC controller (U-Boot/Linux) - GPIO (Linux) - LCD (U-Boot/Linux) I saw that MT6140 (RF) is connected over I2C bus, so probably this driver will be next on the list. BR, Marcin

Its posible that OsmocomBB work as a USRP?
by Hernani 19 Nov '10

Ok, first of all congratulation for this project... Ok, I understood that it wouldn´t work as USRP. But would it allow you to tune (or listen - sory don´t know the tecnical term in english) an especific ARFCN and time slot ? Hernani > Hi Harald > > Thanks for clarifying this confusion.

[PATCH 0/4] Fixes for gta0x targets
by Alex Badea 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

Hi all, I've been trying to join the party with my OpenMoko GTA02, and I found that a few tweaks were required. Patch 1/4 was required to get the romloader to start, otherwise osmocon would only receive an occasional '\x00' character instead of the ident_cmd. It works perfectly with the beacon interval reduced to 13 mS, but I've made it configurable just in case other targets don't like it. Patches 2/4 and 3/4 are bugfixes for the calypso uart code. The LCR register ended up being clobbered, and this rendered the uart on my board silent. Finally, I'm using the GTA02 AP as the "host", communicating via the internal ttySAC0 UART. Patch 4/4 allowed me to cross-compile osmocon & friends on my x86 box with the AP ARM as the target. Now I can run, ./osmocon -m romload -p /dev/ttySAC0 -i 13 -d tr firmware/layer1.highram.bin while toggling power via, echo 0 >/sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gsm.0/power_on echo 1 >/sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gsm.0/power_on and get: OSMOCOM Layer 1 (revision osmocon_v0.0.0-696-ge801cee-modified) ====================================================================== Device ID code: 0xb496 Device Version code: 0x0000 ARM ID code: 0xfff3 cDSP ID code: 0x0128 Die ID code: e4942219e4949b52 ====================================================================== REG_DPLL=0x2413 CNTL_ARM_CLK=0xf0a1 CNTL_CLK=0xff91 CNTL_RST=0xfff3 CNTL_ARM_DIV=0xfff9 ====================================================================== Cheers, Alex Alex Badea (4): osmocon: make beacon interval configurable via cmdline target uart: fix preservation of LCR target uart: remove REG_OFFS() macro side-effect toplevel Makefile: accept arguments for host ./configure calls src/Makefile | 8 ++++---- src/host/osmocon/osmocon.c | 26 ++++++++++++++++---------- src/target/firmware/calypso/uart.c | 10 +++++----- 3 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-)

Sciphone Dream G2 WLan MT5921

Hi, Harald Welte wrote: > bluetooth or FM radio. The GSM RF transceiver is probably possible to > reverse engineer from the test mode + 3wire protocol sniffing, but wifi e.g. is > defnitely too complex to do a 100% reverse engineered driver for... while looking through the component listing on Wolgang's wiki page I recognized the MediaTek MT5921 WLan-chipset. This should be the same (or at least similar) chip built into the german Thalia/Bol/Buch.de Oyo ebook-reader (also released in France). The module is called mt5921sta_spi.ko and claims to be released under the GPL but until now no source release happened for any GPL component. The module is also contained in the firmware of the Booq Avant released in Spain (http://www.booqreaders.com/en/product_Avant) and possibly many more ebook-readers as these models seem to share their basic design.

GSMTAP
by Marten Christophe 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

Hello All, I have a question regarding GSMTAP , If it is used for sending messages to wireshark only or it has some other significant, like communication between L2 and L3 or communication with layer1, as the uint8_t and uint16_t were widely used in source code Kind regards,

:D Yup the timers too. That's why I would like to keep that piece of code as it is and move only the serial port handling elsewhere (a different thread I) --- On Thu, 10/21/10, Holger Hans Peter Freyther <holger(a)freyther.de> wrote: From: Holger Hans Peter Freyther <holger(a)freyther.de> Subject: Re: osmocom on windows To: baseband-devel(a)lists.osmocom.org Date: Thursday, October 21, 2010, 8:09 PM On 10/21/2010 07:00 PM, eisencah eisenach wrote: > Here's another one.
