Hi Patrick,
good to have you on board!

I'm trying to run the layer1 firmware and the layer23 program with an C123, however as soon as the firmware reports a layer 1 reset and a L1CTL_NEW_CCCH_REQ message is sent to the phone, it appears to crash and sends a new PROMPT1, causing an endless cycle of firmware uploads and following crashes.
that's something I haven't seen so far yet. Are you using the C123 that I shipped you (i.e. from the same batch as those I and others use), or was it obtained somewhere else? In the latter case, it might be some different hardware version or the like. So far I haven't yet seen any differences, but well, what do we know about what the manufacturer did.
btw: What about the l1test.bin. This one does a scan over the GSM900 band and then automatically selects the strongest ARFCN (and sends DATA INDICATIONS to the layer23).
Any hints how to debug this further?
At this point I would say try to eliminate differences to other developers, i.e. what particular toolchain are you using? Can you try a layer1.bin compiled by somebody else, just to determine if its something in the build or something related to your hardware that we're not doing right yet.
Just my 2 cents from holidays, Harald
