Hi,
To run osmocom-bb I need to install and use osmocon.
Can't find it in git repos. Where is it hiding?
TIA

It's part of osmocom-bb.

Ty Vasil,
Found it:)
Seems it supports only serial interfaces:(
PCs since 5 years back don't have any more serial interfaces. Only usb:(
Planning to add usb support to osmocon.
Is there any interest for a patch, or should I do it just for myself?
PS: You can convert a USB port to serial with a USB2serial converter:)

Exactly. I have mostly used a USB to serial adapter without modifying osmocom-bb code at
all. At one point I also built osmocom-bb natively on a raspberry-pi and was able to
operate that way to some extent.

Ty Craig,
I'll try it for myself before changing anything:)
I'm surprised, however, that osmocon can work like that. RS232 interfaces
need different initialization (baud rate, stop bits, parity, etc) that usb
doesn't understant!

I guess, both are serial protocols and the hardware adaptor takes care of
legit default serial values.
Still the problem is to find a free available usb port for communication:(
Will have to test and see:)

Hi Nikos,
I’m really happy to see someone being so enthusiastic about testing out OsmocomBB. It is
definitely one of the most intereting open-source projects out there.
However I feel like there is an imbalance between the amount of mails being sent and the
amount of fiddling done. Don’t take this the wrong way, but if you attempted to compile
the code and test it out, or watch some talks/videos you would not need to search for
osmocon or try to extend it with USB support. I am only saying this because the amount of
time spent on writing the mails in question would have been enough, in my opinion, to
actually do the task in question. Therefore it does not always make sense to write an
email before just trying it out. Don’t worry about trying out things, there is not much
chance of you breaking anything :).
All in all this software was created, as far as I know by people testing and trying
tirelessly and eventually succeeding in achieving their goals. This is the spirit of
hacking and open-source.
Happy hacking, get your fingers dirty :)!

Hi Domi,
You don't understand. I'm neither afraid or enthusiastic about it.
I cannot test yet. Still waiting on my phone:(
