Hey,

If I'm not mistaken pl2303 based cables have/had problems handling baudrates above 115200, there was a recent update into the kernel tree, but I've never tested it.

If you have FTDI based cable try it out, i have one based on FT4232 and it works flawlessly, pl2303 cable gave me a lot of trouble before.

You can still run osmocom-bb on 115200 cable but I believe it's not going to be sufficient for sniffing and i think you'll need to patch the code a bit for 115200 to work (perhaps someone from osmocom can guide here?).

Cheers,
Lukas

Hello list,

I'm newbee so excuse me for my very basic question.
I follow all the instructions on srlabs.de/gprs given by Karsten

I have a C123 and a USB / jack 2.5mm - pl2303 based :(

All steps are fine until I try to programm the compal ram ;)

./host/osmocon/osmocon -m c123xor -p /dev/ttyUSB0
./target/firmware/board/compal_e88/layer1.compalram.bin

I get :

...

PROMPT1...
...
PROMPT2...
handle_write(): xxxx bytes (xxxx/yyyy)
...
...
handle_write(): xxxx bytes (xxxx/yyyy)
Received 1 byte : xx
Received 1 bytes : yy
...
...
Finally I received e.r.r.o.r (byte by byte)
NOT ACK RECEIVED...

I can also get (not with the same firmware...) :

...
PROMPT1...
...
PROMPT2...
handle_write(): xxxx bytes (xxxx/yyyy)
...
...
handle_write(): finished

and then... nothing...

I'm going to test the cable, as Philipp has told to Pavel.
I also bought a RS232 / Jack unlocking Motorola (C123) cable and I own a
BlackBox FTDI based USB/RS232 cable... So I'll test it as soon as I
receive the cable.

Do you think is a matter of cable, who is supposed to be osmocom
compatible, or a phone issue or even the USB port... ?

Thank you very much for your help and excuse me again with this kind of
'stupid' question about cable.
I read almost all the subjects, I did a lot of experimentations in a lot
of git branch (master, testing, burst_ind - of course not working with
PL2303 ... + d1cb8ea9b784c7acbafbb2fdcedbdf4655c2f6f5 not working too)

I think it must work at least in the master branch...
