I found the videos at [1], but I don't have an iphone... Are the videos available in different formats? Apparently, Apple's HTTP streaming, segmented mpeg-ts is rather new [2] and there isn't much support for it. I found how to create them [3] and code [4] to create the playlist and segments, but nothing on how to play them or cat them back together. I tried using ffmpeg to convert them the mpeg-ps files, then catting them together (from the ffmpeg manual). This worked, except that the audio went out of sync, and every five seconds the screen goes grey because of the original file boundaries. Any pointers? thx, Jason.

On the gsm positioning faking

by Fabio Pietrosanti (naif)

Hi guys, i just looked at 27c3 talk on http://27c3.iphoneblog.de/recordings/3952.html (i really wanted to be there!) and heard about the concept of being able to fake gsm based position systems. Which could in theory the distance that could be faked respect to the knowledge that the BTS can acquire? I mean, the modified timing information provided by phone running osmocombb, how many meters distance from BTS could be? -naif

Fwd: MTK port: Interesting device.

by Andrew

Hello all. Just back from the hospital, so I haven't followed the development much for some time. Anyway, I've recently stumbled upon an interesting device: https://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.50391 I think I'll order that one sometime soon, so that I can look at it in more detail. This is a chinese phone with android, but some things make me think that's MTK inside. According to desctiption: ARM926EJ-S rev 5(v5l) BogoMIPS: 207.66 Android 2.2.1 OS system/Wifi(802.11b)/TV/GPS/FM/JAVA Price - 130 bucks. Sounds familiar? Compared to my E1000: ARM926EJ-S rev 5 (v5l) BogoMIPS: 104.24 Twice more Bogomips. The hardware pretty much seems like a typical MTK, and for that price I guess there actually is MTK inside, something a little better than 2635, so the problem is to find the sources somewhere (And my bet is, that if they don't make it to the mainline - they'll leak out to the web) If the chips are pretty much identical, and they are, this might be a good thing. I think I'll buy one after the holiday madness is over and, hopefully, provide teardown photos, firmware dump and more details. Regards, Andrew.

AW: TODO: OsmocomBB to continually iterate over all cells and dump SI

by Andreas.Eversberg

> Just to avoid any duplicate of work as well: most of this is already > done by cell_log (layer23/src/misc). It iterates over the whole spectrum > and tries to get an Immediate Assignment by sending a RACH to every cell. > It stores SI1-4, GPS position and the TA in a logfile, and using the > gsmmap utility you can create a *.kml map of the calculated cell > positions for Google Earth. > So what's missing is really only the PCAP support and a command line > switch to turn off the "active" scanning by sending no RACHs. hi steve, exactly. almost everything is already there. there are some things that may need to be improved in my opinion: - deactivating/activating the RACH request - altering maximum distance (gps) moving off the position of last power scan, before restarting scanning process. - multiple radio support for faster scanning and deeper scanning while moving. - selecting between the generic text format and PCAP. - option to wait some more time to receive more system informations than the mandatory 1..4 regards, andreas

different behaviour when osmocom-bb runs on c155 and c115

by ste7an

When running the layer23/mobile host application in combination with layer1 firmware on a c115 (compal_e88 based) I can easily connect with a network (when using Sylvain's test trunk, which supports the SIM very well!). However, running the same code on the C155 (compal_e99 based) the phone refuses to connect to the network and keeps scanning ARFCN's. Is there any real difference between these phones except for the LCD's? In rffe_dualband.c I see a remark about the value of SYSTEM_INHERENT_GAIN that has been measured by Harald on the C123. May that be a different value for the C155? Is this a problem observed by others, or is there a workaround?

can't get SAM7-p64 board into SAM-BA

by Stefan Op de Beek

I tried to load the dfu.bin+main.bin (=samba) onto the Olimex SAM7-P64 board. I connected jumper TEST for >10s, disconnected power, reconnected power. I assume that it is possible now to upload firmware using sam-ba (i tried both linux and windows) over the USB port. Even trying to connect through the dbg serial port failed. Is there something wrong with the board or in the procedure I follow. Should I see a USB-CDC serial port when the SAM7 is running the SAM-BA bootloader? Any comments would be appreciated.

Working on the documentation...

by Holger Freyther

Hi all, I have started a GettingStarted[1] page to cover the topics of getting the code, getting an ARM toolchain and pointing to the osmocon and layer23 pages for the details. I was also going through the search to update the names of the firmware binaries. The CalypsoRomloader[2] page deserves an update as well. It is referring to the GTA0X but then tries to flash a nonexistent E88 binary. I am not sure what to turn this page into. Do we also have a list of Milestones we want to accomplish (besides merging the sending code to master)? Do we have junior tasks for people that would like to get started on target and host firmware? regards z.

SIMtrace hardware

by ml＠mail.tsaitgaist.info

Hi, I made a lot of changes to the SIMtrace hardware schema. Here my v0.5 : https://gsm.tsaitgaist.info/SIMtrace/v0.5/SIMtrace.ps Some important point that are unclear, where I would like to have some comments : - I do not use USB_DP_PUP which I found in several at91sam7s design (and openPCD). I don't know if it will be useful or required. - I use npn transistor as switches (2 for I/O because bidirectional). Maybe (N/P/C)MOS is a better solution. I already bought most of the parts and would like to start drawing the PCB. Please tell me if you find some errors or have any advices. kevin

got Simtrace to compile

by ste7an

I ordered a SAM7-P64 board for running Simtrace (received board today, but still waiting for the REBELSIm connectors). When compiling the code (using Gnuarm3.4.3) I got two errors: 1) the --g($DEBUGF) option was not understood; omitting this, made the Makefile (for dfu and main) working 2) in /lib/vsprintf.c I had to add #include <limits.h> in order to prevent errors related to MAX_INT etc. Are there any ideas for making a man-in-the-middle SIM device? One master interface to a real SIM, another slave interface providing a SIM interface towards a phone with the possibility to filter certain APDU's or to add files or commands on top of the real SIM. This would need an additional SIM master interface (to send and receive APDU's to the real SIM) on top of what already is in SIMtrace and the slave interface should be capable of sending messaged back to the real SIM master. I will look into it, first starting with implementing a simple SIM card master on the other UART.

sciphone g2 connector

by Alexander Huemer

hi, i want to make a cable for the sciphone g2 that provides serial communication and charging with one connector. unfortunately the pictures at [1] aren't clear enough for me. i don't want to kill my phone. actually i count 15 pins in the picture, where mine has only 12. that's weird. i guess that 2 are just for aligning the case, but that still makes 13 vs. 12. i tried to ascii draw the connector from the back (soldering) side. the rounded half of the connector on the upper side. The pins i found described elsewhere on the internet are already marked. -------------------------- ( ) ( ) | ( ) | +-------------------------+ | | | | | | | | | / | | | | | | | | / +-------------------------+/ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | | | | +--- GND | | +----- GND | +----------- RX (PC -> Phone) +--------------- TX (Phone -> PC) could someone please mark the pins that have to be connected for charging ? i guess one of the two GND pins is involved. kind regards and thanks for your time -Alex [1] http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Sciphone_Dream_G2
