Hi,
- remove the libosmocore subtree git from osmocom-bb
git
We can't do that. libosmocore subtree is still used to compile the
embedded ARM version of libosmocore.
- remove this line of text from
http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/libosmocore: "When you download and build
OsmocomBB, then libosmocore is automatically part of the package, no special
action is required."
Indeed. Feel free to edit it.
- osmocom: some wiki pages refer to an
"osmocom" application. Is there an
osmocom binary? (I think most times it is a typo for osmocon)
It's most likely a typo.
- I use Wireshark to capture the GSMTAP packets of
"monitor". How do I find
out in the Wireshark trace if a message is sent from the MS or is received
by the MS?
Look at the ARFCN field of GSMTAP Header. It should indicate uplink or
downlink direction.
- I want to study the high layer messages (e.g. not
cell selection but call
setup, registering to the network) but I am lost in the debug flags:
DCS:DNB:DPLMN:DRR:DMM:DSIM:DCC:DMNCC:DSS:DLSMS:DPAG:DSUM. Which ones are
needed in my case? Is there somewhere a description of the flags?
You're probably better off with wireshark to view the messages.
The debug category are explained in src/host/layer23/src/common/logging.c
- Some tools (e.g. cell_log) give 'SAP' log
messages, e.g:
Failed to connect to '/tmp/osmocom_sap'.
Failed during sap_open(), no SIM reader
I suspect this is for communcation with SIM cards. How it is supposed to
work?
- Is this 'SAP' stuff only needed/useful for softSIMs?
- Which application should create the /tmp/osmocom_sap socket? (osmocon only
creates /tmp/osmocom_l2 and /tmp/osmocom_loader)
SAP support in mainline is incomplete and unsupported currently.
- Would it be possible to remove the SIM card from my
C118 and put it in an
external SIM reader, and then let "mobile" use the SIM card in the external
reader instead?
No
Cheers,
Sylvain
