simtrace: New mailing list / progress

Hi all! Since Kevin and I are trying to re-vitalize the simtrace project, I have decided to create a new simtrace(a)lists.osmocom.org mailing list dedicated to this project. Yesterday at a meeting we have discussed * to use a digitally-controlled analog switch to select sniffing / emulation mode (i.e. to do a software-controlled 'cut' the electrical connection between the SIM card and the phone) * to add a header next to the USB socket so we can attach a battery pack for autonomous operation * to add a SPI NOR flash (for storage of data in autonomous operation) * to not care about 1.8V-only SIM cards and make it a 3.3V-only device We expect to do a bit more schematics review and component placement + routing as well as a prototype PCB in the next couple of weeks. Kevin is in charge of the hardware prototype, while I will look at the firmware side as well as provide funding for the PCB manufacturing and prototype components.
