Fwd: Please can anyone advise me - FMTOOL Error and no further processing
Please do not use reply in gmail, but reply to all instead. Otherwise you will only write to the message's author, Sebastien ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Raz Sharif <issertiv@gmail.com> Date: Sun, Jul 3, 2011 at 9:34 PM Subject: Re: Please can anyone advise me - FMTOOL Error and no further processing To: Sébastien Lorquet <squalyl@gmail.com> Sorry yes i did post this message before in an attempt to get some better insight in to the issues. The loopback test i shorted the inside and outermost pins and echo of characters appeared. I think cable is ok. Its a prolific usb to serial. I do not have a serial connector so cannot try the FTD cable option. All software looks ok but the Osmocon.just hangs and FMT tool error. So i am a little stuck to be honest. Sorry for sending this twice. Thanks Raz On 3 Jul 2011 19:29, "Sébastien Lorquet" <squalyl@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks for the reply. No I am not using VM of any sort. straight Ubuntu workstation. latest release from their Website. ISO installed and OsmocommBB compiled. Using the testing branch of OsmocomBB. Hardware is Dell Optiplex dual core 1 TB HD and 6GB Ram. It is a pretty fast PC to be honest and works with most of the stuff i Use. Cable is a T191 USB to 2.5mm Cable prolific.2303 chipset. lsusb shows the cable as Prolific. Rubbing fingers on the tip of the cable shows some characters so it seem to work but I may be wrong. Phone is a C115 Motorola from Ebay it works fine with a SIM and is just another phone to all intents and purposes. So I was going to try the FTDI USB cable today with the USB-RS32 convertor which is a pain but i kind of guessed by eliminating that it then is the phone or the Software and given that many folks had Cables issues that was the way to go. Any Ideas from fellow Osmocommers out there ?? :) Thanks folks, Raz On Mon, Jul 4, 2011 at 6:09 AM, Lokkju Brennr <lokkju@gmail.com> wrote:
