Hello Jenkins Builder,
I'd like you to reexamine a change. Please visit

to look at the new patch set (#2).
Change subject: firmware: board: add support for TR-800 target ......................................................................
firmware: board: add support for TR-800 target
iWOW TR-800 is a packaged GSM modem module based on Calypso+Iota+Rita chipset; it is fully quadband, and reverse engineering of its PCB confirms that this module is nothing but a mass-produced version of the core of TI's legendary Leonardo+ reference platform. The same module is also known as FreeCalypso Tango - a rebranded version of the same hardware module with different firmware and a different Responsible Party for official support.
FreeCalypso HQ is contributing OsmocomBB support for this Calypso modem module for two reasons:
1) Harm reduction - sooner or later someone in Osmocom universe is going to run OBB firmware on TR-800 once they lay their hands on this hardware, and the resulting operation will be less harmful / closer to correct if we provide the basic board support patch.
2) There exists a large surplus of FreeCalypso Caramel2 development boards that are based around FC Tango modules. Having this hw supported by both firmwares will hopefully increase the chances that these boards will find loving homes, as opposed to continuing to gather dust in a cardboard box.
Legal and ethical disclaimer: OsmocomBB firmware running on ANY Calypso+Iota+Rita target is *known*, through confirmed observations with a measuring instrument (R&S CMU200), to put out radio transmissions that are *severely out of spec*, and this defect does NOT go away with the present patch which merely adds support for a different C+I+R board target. The present patch has been produced as a harm reduction measure, to reduce (but not to zero) the harm that will be caused by parties who run OsmocomBB firmware on C+I+R hardware despite having been advised not to. As the party seeking to reduce rather than cause that harm, Mother Mychaela and her related business entities explicitly disclaim all liability for damage that will be caused by parties who continue running OsmocomBB firmware despite having been repeatedly advised to switch to manufacturer-approved published-source firmware instead.
