Hi All
Just wanted to confirm that I got Osmocom-BB up and running on a Raspberry Pi.
I did not use the GPIO UART pins but USB <-> serial converters.
I tried Motorola C118 and C155 with success.
Everything you need is already described:
http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/GnuArmToolchainhttp://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/libosmocorehttp://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/Software/GettingStarted?redirectedfrom=Gett…
My previous problem seems to have been a not fully compatible crosscompiled toolchain. (it worked mostly, but I could not log-in to a cell and the spectrum view crashed on the RSSI Firmware.
Also if you want transmit capability (or flashing) then you need to activate those features in the makefile.
Thanks Sylvain (confirming c118 will work) and all others who are involved!!
PS: Any news on the "emulated BTS" that has been presented at last years chaos communication congress?
I have 2 C118s + 1 normal USB serial dongle + 1 capable of burst ind.
I hope this will suffice to also run also a possible future 1 trasmit phone + 1 receive phone configuration.
I assume that even without the filter change it should be enough to send a few meters of distance.
I'm at the point w/ flashing firmware where I feel like I need to use a debugger w/ JTAG. I figured I could probably use serial line logging somehow but JTAG seems better and I should learn it anyway.
Has anyone pried open the shield on a c139/c140 and tried attaching to the JTAG test points that are just inside the shield next to the test points which are accessible via the battery compartment?
Hi folks,
Came across this article in the latest PoC||GTFO journal describing (part
of) the process for patching firmware on Nokia DCT4+ phones. The good
stuff is pages 22-29 of this file:
http://openwall.info/wiki/_media/people/solar/pocorgtfo03.pdf
Alas, this does not appear to permit patching the first 1MB of firmware, so
may not be helpful for OsmocomBB. But perhaps someone with more time on
their hands can take this and run with it...
Cheers,

Hi,
I am trying to understand the Multiframe structure in GSM. Here is my
question:
Lets say that in a particular cell, only two GSM frequencies are available
to cater to all the traffic.
FB is the frequency of the beacon channel and FT is the frequency of the
traffic channel.
FBT0 is having the following configuration FCCH + SCH + BCCH + CCCH.
Now a phone which is in this cell, gets paged for an incoming SMS.
The phone responds to the paging request and gets an immediate assignment.
The immediate assignment assigns it a channel
with the following configuration:
FTT2 and channel multiplexing is SDCCH/8 + SACCH/8.
Now how does the phone know the multiframe structure of FTT2 ?
In other words how does the phone know how long it has to wait, so that it
can transmit in the right time-slot ?
The same question applies to the BTS if we are talking about down-link ?
Is there a relation between the multiframe structure of FBT0 and FTT2 ?
Thanks and Regards,
R M
Tim,
Following your advice, I disassembled a battery, and directly connected the
output of a 3.6v motorola charger to gnd and positive side of the charging
pcb (of course the lithium cell is completely disconnected). See pictures
below, gnd is the middle pad whereas the positive pad is on the left. When
doing so be careful not to heat or pierce the lithium battery, and
afterwards put some tape to ensure electrical isolation:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByHQWL5Q6bSwOHVPNlV5T2ZyZndLZmwtMF9JQ2V0eH…https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByHQWL5Q6bSwTGNfeUFOVFM5cldPNFZ3djMyMmlSNV…https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByHQWL5Q6bSwUm9XUnBOcU5SRFg4T3VpNEFZOUFHaU…
The result appears to work although strangely sometimes after unplugging
the charger for some time and replugging it the microcontroller on the pcb
will not wake up. However it does immediately wake up if I measure the
current between the + and - output with a basic multimeter, but with the
black probe on the + and the red probe on the - (other way does not work).
There's probably something I'm missing here, but it's not that big a deal.
Maybe this is caused by a quirk in the microcontroller, as I've tried the
same procedure on a new compatible battery (branded "OTB", see
http://pmcdn.priceminister.com/photo/926610349.jpg) and it doesn't have
this problem, the microcontroller wakes up immediately and powers the
phone. The voltage might be a bit too high, but the phone seems to work
fine (firmware reports a full battery - also it gets slightly hotter).

Guys I am trying to make call using mobile app

While installing osmocom-bb, i came across the "building the source"
section.
It says in later part that:
" If your GCC binary that produces ARM code is not called *arm-elf-gcc* you
will need to invoke the following statement and provide the basename of the
toolchain with the ending *-*"
cd src
make -e CROSS_TOOL_PREFIX=arm-OTHER_NAME-
How can i find out that my GCC binary is called as *arm-elf-gcc *or
something else?
