Hi all,
I think the layer23 app was great when Dieter and others worked on the TX part of Osmocom but right now it has the potential of disturbing a real network.
So it could be changed in a way that it checks if the firmware has TX disabled (maybe even make TX disabling a runtime setting), and then still follow the first assignment, never transmit anything and on a CIPHER MODE COMMAND switch back to the BCCH (or when no enc is used at the release message).
comments?

Well, you're not supposed to use it with TX enabled :)
I think we should just strip the code that makes a RACH and the code that follow assignements. Just put them in #if 0 as "examples" but make sure that by default it just sits on the BCCH, changes the CCCH mode when it knows it and that's it ...
This way, it makes a simple app that dumps SI and paging / immediate assignement on a specific ARFCN. And if you want to dig deeper, the example on how to do more are still in the code.
We should also group it in a single file like the other example app since it doesn't make sense to have so much files for so little function.
Cheers,
