In Ubuntu 13.10 (running on [non-virtualized] hardware with an Intel i5-750 CPU), I compiled the toolchain, prerequisites, and osmocom-bb, but when I run the following command (and then briefly press the phone's power button) :

./osmocon -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -m c140 ../../target/firmware/board/compal_e86/loader.compalram.bin

I get the following output:

got 7 bytes from modem, data looks like: 66 74 6d 74 6f 6f 6c  ftmtool

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: 6f  o

got 1 bytes from modem, data looks like: 72  r

If I briefly press the power button repeatedly, I receive similar output.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions as to how I might be able to coax this into working.

Thanks,
