Hello everyone,
I'm new to OscomBB and have few questions about its architecture. I have ordered the C123 and the serial cable. Note: I have OpenBTS running quite well and would like now to explore the other end.
I did look at the Software Overview page and have the following questions: a/ where can I log the raw burst (156 bits)? [ not the IQ samples ] on the PC? on the ARM7? b/ on the downllink path, how is the FCH detection process split between dsp, arm7 and PC? ie from raw burst to FCH detection indication and offset value. c/ on the downllink path, how is the SCH decode process split between dsp, arm7 and PC? ie from raw burst to GSM frame number, BSIC etc.. d/ on the downllink path, how is the BCCH decode process split between dsp, arm7 and PC? ie from raw burst to System Informations... d/ on the uplink path, how the RACH encode process (RACH_REQ) is split between dsp, arm7 and PC?
Thank your for your kind answers.

It's the same for all of them:
* demodulation, interleaving, convolutional code, etc. is all in the DSP * scheduling (TDMA frame/multiframe/etc) as well as frequency and tx power control is done by the ARM * the interface between layer1 and layer2 (LAPDm) is via serial line and everything L2 or higher runs on the PC.
