Moving from trac to a single redmine
by Holger Freyther 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

Hi guys, I think some of us would like to move to redmine and start using public tickets more frequently. So in case we move there are some topics to be discussed and I would like to start with a couple of them right now. Tickets: Redmine has a global linear sequence of ticket numbers. If we move from many tracs to a single redmine we can either: * not import tickets * only import from one project * deal with changing ticket numbers In terms of installations the GMR trac is broken in regard to tickets, there are some for SDR that are probably not being fixed anytime soon, baseband might be relevant and OpenBSC is unlikely to be relevant. I don't think we have ever used ticket reference in OpenBSC commit messages so in terms of OpenBSC having changing ticket numbers would not be a big deal. E.g. we could add a custom field with the old trac number? Wiki: We have external references that should be redirected to the new place. Is there any way besides maintaining a list in the apache2/nginx configuration and making redirects as we find broken references? Can we proactively manage this? Is anybody willing to come up with a script and nginx configuration for doing this? kind regards holger

Sniffing GPRS
by canarion 12 Dec '16

Hi, After compiling osmocom-bb and apply sylvain/burst_ind branch and gprs_multi.patch, I execute it and try to sniff gprs traffic. I loaded the layer1 into my C139 and I obtained an ARFCN code (883). When I run ccch_scan -a 883 I get the next result: opyright (C) 2010 Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> Contributions by Holger Hans Peter Freyther License GPLv2+: GNU GPL version 2 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html> This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.

layer2/3 ported to target? paging attack code?
by Craig Comstock 05 Aug '16

05 Aug '16

Hey, I finally watched Nico's talk "let me answer that for you" and heard him say he ported layer2/3 to target. Also found a mailing list message about him cleaning it up and putting it up on git and sending it to a few folks. Did that code ever get shared? Would be cool to play around with and is certainly something I would eventually want to accomplish for my project of making a phone that works by itself. -Craig

Dear all, I vae the C115 with a T1 USB to Serial cable with the Prolific chipset. When i run osmocon i get :- an its just sits there with no further processing. ./osmocon -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -m c123xor ../../target/firmware/board/compal_e88/loader.compalram.bin read_file(../../target/firmware/board/compal_e88/loader.compalram.bin): file_size=17120, hdr_len=4, dnload_len=17127 read_file(../../target/firmware/board/compal_e88/loader.compalram.bin): file_size=17120, hdr_len=4, dnload_len=17127 got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 00 . got 2 bytes from modem, data looks like: 2f 00 /. got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 1b . got 3 bytes from modem, data looks like: f6 02 00 ... got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 41 A got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 01 . got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 40 @ Received PROMPT1 from phone, responding with CMD got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 66 f got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 74 t got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 6d m got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 74 t got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 6f o got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 6f o got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 6c l Received FTMTOOL from phone, ramloader has aborted got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 65 e got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 72 r got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 72 r got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 6f o got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 72 r got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 00 . got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 00 . I think the cable is ok as when i run my fingers on the tip i get random Zeros so it appears to be talking to the cable. Also when i tried to run Mobile i get the :- even though i created the Mobile.cfg file in /etc/osmoco Failed to parse the config file: '/home/raz/.osmocom/bb/mobile.cfg' Please check or create config file using: 'touch /home/raz/.osmocom/bb/mobile.cfg' I have spent some hours researching the lists and trying various things to no avail but I want to continue until I resolve this issues and use this great stack to learn about the GSM network. Please advise. Great full for any help or pointers but this maybe a timing issue that is difficult to debug. Thanks Raz

Redmine theme

Dear all, I suggest to change a stock Redmine theme to something more beautiful, for example gitmike: https://github.com/makotokw/redmine-theme-gitmike which used by srlabs.de and looks like pretty. Furthermore, the Osmocom logo will look better on light background. Opinions? С наилучшими пожеланиями, Яницкий Вадим.

cell re-selection
by Andreas.Eversberg 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

hi, i did a lot of resarch and testing on cell selection and re-selection process the last two week. the cell selection process, network selection process (manual and automatic) and mobility management process were already implemented in OsmocomBB a long time, but turned out to be buggy and incomplete. i made test drives to check the process and debugged it. the re-selection process is new. it is used to track surrounding cells while listening to the BCCH of the current cell (camping on a cell). special extension to the layer1 firmare is used to measure neighbour cells. if an neighbour cell becomes 'better', the mobile switches to that cell, depening on different criteria. now it is possible to move with OsmocomBB. the re-selection process is not handover! handover is a process where a phone switches between cells while doing a call. handover is one next step to implement. the process is a little more complex, because it requires not only neighbour cell measurements, but also syncing to them without interrupting the traffic channel. most layer 3 stuff of handover is already implemented. if you like to play and test your moving OsmocomBB, you can check out the "jolly/roaming" branch. it contains the extension to layer1, as well as sim reader and fixes from "sylvain/testing" branch. use both "mobile" and "layer1" firmware from this branch. in order to see some process at VTY, you can do: enable monitor network 1 (continously display the strongest cell and neighbour cells) show ms 1 (to see current states) show neighbour-cells 1 (to see a more detailed current list of neighbours) andreas

omsocombb not receiving calls
by robert steve 04 Mar '16

Hi, I would first like to thank all those who participated in this nice project. I recently started working with osmocombb and was able to have it working fine on a motorola c118. However, I noticed that some sim cards can connect normally to the BTS, can make calls and send SMS but can’t receive anything. They simply don't get paged. While for some other sim cards everything seems to be working fine. Does anyone know what might be causing this issue ? thanks, Robert
