burst_ind and TCH
by Mad 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Hi Sylvain, hi list! I'm experimenting with burst_ind and TCHs right now and ran into some problem I couldn't solve yet. After receiving an Assignment Command for a hopping TCH/F I call l1ctl_tx_dm_est_req_h1() with all necessary parameters and tch_mode GSM48_CMODE_SPEECH_V1 or _EFR. After that I do get burst indications containing the received bits on up- and downlink for the active arfcn on each consecutive frame number. BUT the rx level measurements are most of the time very low and sporadic higher, surely not from that nearby bts and the very close cellphone. It looks like the layer1 doesn't "hit" the right timeslot on the right arfcn at the right time. There are some possible sources of error leading to that, like hopping parameters, channel number and MA list. But I checked these and I took all of them directly from the ASS CMD, the MA as word list in ascending order, like in layer23 IMM ASS handling. The specific AC doesn't have any specialties like Starting Time or "before time" parameters. So my question is if there is some obvious pitfall I'm missing and are there any suggestions how to debug that? Regards, Mad

bursts****.dat
by Victor P 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

Hi, I am trying to use burst_ind branch of osmocom. I have noticed that layer23 creates bursts****.dat files when it indicates uplink. What data are written to these files and what should I use to see its data? Thank you.

What does FBSB RESP: result=255 mean?
by Joshua Pereyda 16 May '12

16 May '12

Hello, Hopefully this question is appropriate on this list (please let me know otherwise). Running ccch_scan or bcch_scan in the sylvain/burst_ind branch, I keep getting this error: <000c> l1ctl.c:114 FBSB RESP: result=255 I tried checking the code, but I can't quite figure out what's going on. It looks like 255 is an error code, but I don't know where to go from there. This may be related to my SIM card being locked (I think). Running mobile on the sylvain/testing branch, I get: <0005> subscriber.c:625 PIN is required, 3 tries left Will not having the PIN intefere with ccch_scan as well? Thanks, Josh Pereyda

key generation on SIM failed (cause 2)
by Alojzij Sinur 07 May '12

07 May '12

Hi, I have a question. When using osmocombb with C118, we are getting error when SIM tries to authenticate itself to the network. Here are the messages: <0005> gsm48_mm.c:3902 (ms 1) Received 'RR_DATA_IND' from RR in state location updating initiated (sapi 0) <0005> gsm48_mm.c:4091 (ms 1) Received 'MT_MM_AUTH_REQ' in MM state location updating initiated <0005> gsm48_mm.c:1637 AUTHENTICATION REQUEST (seq 2) <0005> subscriber.c:955 Generating KEY at SIM <000f> sim.c:209 got new job: SIM_JOB_RUN_GSM_ALGO (handle=00000006) <000f> sim.c:697 go MF <000f> sim.c:241 SELECT (file=0x3f00) <000f> sim.c:187 sending APDU (class 0xa0, ins 0xa4) <000f> sim.c:876 received APDU (len=0 sw1=0x00 sw2=0x00) <000f> sim.c:952 command failed <000f> sim.c:151 sending result to callback function (type=1) <0005> subscriber.c:990 key generation on SIM failed (cause 2) SIM is new. It works if you start phone without osmocom. And It also works if you start without osmocom and when SIM logs into network you restart the phone with osmocom. We tried several new cards and there was always same result. There is also no PIN set up (SIM is not locked). We tried with USIM. When we try old cards (>2 years old) osmocom works without problem. Have you ever encountered this kind of trouble? Is there any fix for it? Thank you. Regards, Alojzij

Sagem OT-290 trace phone / GSMTAP integration
by Harald Welte 07 May '12

07 May '12

Hi all! Thanks to a generous donor, we have received a couple of OT-290 trace phones. These are commercial products intended for taking L2/L3 air interface traces. If you've read any of the fabulous GSM papers by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Joachim Goeller: The OT-phones is what he used to generate all his traces. The majority of what those phones can do is now also possible with OsmocomBB. However, OT-290 support GPRS tracing/testing - for CS-1 throguh CS-4. I would be willing to give away one of the two remaining OT-290 (for free) to anyone who would in return commit to developing a GSMTAP interface for it. The message format on the serial UART between phone and PC is documented (PDF documentation by Sagem included with the phones). So based on this documentation and an OT-290 phone, it should be possible to write a small command-line program that receives the GSM/GPRS messages from the OT-290 and sends them via GSMTAP into wireshark. The result would then be similar to what http://cgit.osmocom.org/cgit/dct3-gsmtap/ is for DCT-3 phones. If you're interested, please respond to this message. Please don't apply for the phone if you are not able to find the required time and interest for actually doing the GSMTAP integration.

should we continue to focus on nuttx?
by Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

The other day on IRC I was told that: >Apr 29 00:34:36 <Hoernchen> last thing i heard was that nuttx was superseded in favor of a more lightweight solution And: >Apr 29 00:41:03 <steve|m> http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/OsmoDevCon2012/Minutes#a18:30roundtabl… which was made back in march(we also started working on nuttx near march) and contains the following: >laf: summary we could not gain much from nuttx, rockbox could provide use with UI (inspiration)? steve: framebuffer is mosly compatible I wasn't aware of all that. Also I don't have much details on what was said since I wans't there... Should me and Alan Carvalho de Assis continue the work we are doing? What is the current plan? our status is here: http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/nuttx-bb/drivers The current work on my side is to: * make serial work without sercomm(done locally,just some configuration change) * unbreak the booting of the calypso(require serial to work without sercomm,the commit that created the problem has been identified, how to fix is a work in progress) * I also tried to change toolchain(I generated a toolchain with openembedded) to see if it fixed the issue but according to Gregory it's not the right fix. * I also identified some dummy functions in the nuttx version of sercomm that we should get rid of. On Alan Carvalho de Assis side : he's trying to make the keypad work but he has some difficulties with it. Denis.

Frequency hopping
by Dario Lombardo 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

Hello everybody What happens when a mobile station is in a cell that uses hopping, but the mobile locks to that cell (for instance using the function of the engineering menu of a BB)? Is the hopping mandatory or the ms can continue working also without it? Does osmocom support hopping? What are the commands of the mobile interface (if they exist) to show how the hopping is going? Is it possible to lock with osmocom too? Thanks for the answers. Dario.

Whats the best recommended Sim Card R/W for the SysmoSim Card
by Martin O'Shield 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

Hello All, What is the preferred Sim Card Reader/Writer for the SysmoSim Card, A.K.A., the GrCard Sim? And is the following known to work reliably with the SysmoSim Card? SIM Reader kit - v1.0http://www.adafruit.com/products/101I contacted Adafruit.com yesterday and they explained that their device doesn't work on all Sim Cards. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Martin
