Hi, I have been looking for sometime at OsmocomBB project, but haven't tied it yet.
I have seen that software supports a number of Compal phones :
Supported Phone hardware
Information specific to certain Calypso based phones that we support
Designed + Manufactured by Compal, OEM by Motorola MotorolaC115/C117 (E87) MotorolaC123/C121/C118 (E88) -- our primary target MotorolaC140/C139 (E86) MotorolaC155 (E99) -- our secondary target MotorolaV171 (E68/E69) SonyEricssonJ100i
So, I was wondering: 1) Which would be best to have to start with, as the most supported target ? 2) Where I can get this phone quickly and easily ? 3) What additional equipment is needed (how do you flash the software and how do you debug) ? 4) Is there some software simulator in which I could see what is happening and how the SW works without actual HW equipment ?
Best regards, Drasko

Well, most people have the C123, but the C155 is equally well supported. The C115/C117 is almost identical with the C123 and will work very good as well.
- Where I can get this phone quickly and easily ?
There are many phones one eBay, and some sellers in Europe who sell them brand new.
- What additional equipment is needed (how do you flash the software
and how do you debug) ?
For all this you need simple serial cable: http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/CalypsoSerialCable
Currently we're loading the software to the phone ram, starting it from there, execution from flash is in the works (prom/loader branch).
Please look a bit around at the wiki, since most questions will straighten out then.

So far, no.
