Hi all, from what i learned, osmocombb provide gsm protocol stack

False. Osmocom-bb doesn't have demodulation or dsp code. It contains dsp drivers to control the calypso DSP stuff.

So why need to use Ti Calypso/Iota/Rita. Is it possible to run on other common arm7+dsp chipset?

See above. All the DSP code, as well as all the dirty details about timing / rf path configuration / dsp stuff is completely calypso specific. If you wanted to support another one, it's possible. But you'd have to write the equivalent of all the "target" code for your target and it would talk to the l23 stuff using our l1ctl protocol. Sylvain
