Re: OsmocomBB compile testing / Re: libosmocore embedded build
I was thinking about how to setup an automated real device test for the repo and/or PRs especially. I have devices and cables, just was thinking about how to automate the re-loading of firmware (via an interface to the power button I suppose). Any work ongoing on this front? I'd be happy to contribute as I have a server I'm going to use for nano3g, calypsobts, development. -Craig -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 5/18/17, Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org> wrote: Subject: OsmocomBB compile testing / Re: libosmocore embedded build To: "André Boddenberg" <dr.blobb@gmail.com> Cc: baseband-devel@lists.osmocom.org, "OpenBSC" <openbsc@lists.osmocom.org>, "Vadim Yanitskiy" <axilirator@gmail.com> Date: Thursday, May 18, 2017, 1:24 PM Hi Andre and others. We currently have a series of patches from Vadim pending in gerrit for OsmocomBB. They cannot move ahead, as we have no compile testing / jenkins job which would give this a +1. To resolve this, we should also start to have a jenkins compile testing job for OsmocomBB. The "host" (PC) part of the code is built against regular libosmocore, just like e.g. openbsc or osmo-bts. That should be possible even so far, and it might make sense to start with that. Basically you need to: * git clone osmocom-bb * cd src/host/layer23 * regular 'autoreconf -fi && ./configure && make' compile-testing the 'embedded' (firmware) part is not possible easily in the current master. However, as a second step, and after the libosmocore embedded build has run (and it is installed to /usr/local/arm-none-eabi), and if you use the laforge/remove-libosmocore branch in OsmocomBB, you should also be able to compile-test the firmware using * git clone osmocom-bb * cd src/target/firmware && make There currently is no "make check" tests for either the host utilities or the firmware, and of course we have no clue if the resulting binaries will do anything useful on an actual pone [yet!], but I still think the two steps above would be very useful to move ahead, and to unify the patch submission/review/verification/approval/merge process in gerrit with what we have established for the network-side projects like OsmoBTS & co.

I think there has been some work by Peter and/or Kevin (Cc) on setting up OsmocomBB phones with a power supply (emulating a battery) and using some serial handshake line (next to the UART) to simulate power button presses in the past. Peter? Kevin? It would be great if you'd be willing to set up such as system, document it and then integate it. I think you don't even need your own base setation. Simple test cases for OsmocomBB could include: * running bcch_scan and check that certain (known strong) cells in the neigbhorhood are found * trying to register to a given network using unknwon/expired IMSI and confirming that the channel is established and a LU REJECT is received With such a test rig we could then automatically test every new libosmocore and osmcoom-bb commit to verify that it still performs basic receive and even basic rx+tx functionality.
Any work ongoing on this front?
I don't think there's much happening in OsmocomBB for many years, sadly. -- - Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

I have two c139s wired up for JTAG and many others I can fiddle with. I'll give it a shot! Craig On May 29, 2017 7:42:38 AM CDT, Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org> wrote:
