Hi Alexander,
Btw, the first release of XTRX (
http://xtrx.io) will
have a SIM
driver, so it'll be possible to connect it directly to a SIM card
slot, as per the miniPCIe standard. If users will find this feature
useful for users, it'll make it to the final release.
So, that is really good news! Also I think it would be great to extend
existing SAP interface/protocol implementation with multiple SIM cards
support and finish some unimplemented things in this area.
Also note an 'ms' branch of osmo-trx. It's
not a full functionality
required for an MS and the code is pretty dated, but it's close enough
to start.
Yes, Sylvain already said me about this branch.
It was a combination of circumstances that work was
not finished and I
would totally support an effort to finish it.
It is nice to know about that. Thank you!
With best regards,
Vadim Yanitskiy.
