Pysim error: SW match failed
by Martin Nagy 16 Aug '25

16 Aug '25

Hi all, After buying a super Sim Kit (16 in 1) from China, I tried the reader (green PCB inside a blue transparent plastic case with a blue LED) and SIM (identified as a fakesupersim) with pysim tool. However i am getting the following error: /pySim-prog.py -n 26C3 -c 49 -x 262 -y 42 -z 1234 -j 1 -t auto Insert card now (or CTRL-C to cancel) Autodetected card type fakemagicsim Generated card parameters : > Name : 26C3 > SMSP : e1ffffffffffffffffffffffff058100945555ffffffffffff000000 > ICCID : 8949262427518313026 > MCC/MNC : 262/42 > IMSI : 262422461512085 > Ki : 7b74741a1ee14337ec23f9ab92a13648 > OPC : ccd867d60797d8d45354a51b3ef568ff Programming ...

Also I have tried forcing different models of SIM, but nothing is working. Obviously I can remove this check from the script file (__init__.py in /pySim/transport), however somebody had a reason to put such condition there. I would like to ask if it is safe to remove that line of code and the purpose of that line of code. Thanks a lot and best regards Martin

Re: Help with sccp library

I means: is the interaction with mtp3 layer implemented (is sending sccp data by mtp3 implemented by the library?)? Also, what about the reception of data from mtp3 layer. is that implemented in the sccp lib. I am asking these questions because I see the code of mtp3 in the lib but no significant call is present in the sccp part of the lib. Thank you for your help.

Unbounded AGCH queue in OsmoBTS
by Alexander Chemeris 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Hi all, We're moving this discussion to the mailing list, as it seems it is more generic and complex than we've thought initially. The issue arose when I started doing load testing of the OsmoTRX transceiver and disabled all gating in it. As a result, all incoming noise was processed as valid Normal Bursts and Access Bursts and sent up to OsmoBTS. This leads to a situation, similar to a RACH flood, when there are more RACH requests coming, than a BTS could reasonably process. And this leads to an unbounded increase of the AGCH queue in the BTS - it consumes a few Mb per minute. I think that this is the root cause of the issue we've seen at a Netherlands festival installation, when 20K phones suddenly started connecting to our station after official networks went down. When the amount of RACH requests exceeded available CCCH capacity (took <5 seconds), mobile phones stopped answering out IMM.ASS messages. Hypothesis is that the AGCH queue became so long, requests were sent too late for a phone to receive it. And thus no phones answered to our IMM.ASS messages. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to collect enough data to check this hypothesis during that time and we don't have another big festival on hands atm. An attached is a quick fix for the unbounded queue growth. It uses a hardcoded value for the maximum queue length, which is fine for our load testing, but not flexible enough for the real life usage. We should make the AGCH queue long enough to keep high performance. At the same time, it must not exceed MS timeout or _all_ IMM.ASS messages will miss their target MS's. We could make this parameter user-configurable on a BTS side, but it seems more reasonable to automatically calculate it, depending on the channel combination and timeout values. But this should be done on the BSC side. So the questions are: 1) what is a good way to calculate it? 2) should we configure this queue length over OML, or move the queue from BTS to BSC? -- Regards, Alexander Chemeris.

Please see the following code from bts_ipaccess_nanobts.c: ============== /* Callback function to be called whenever we get a GSM 12.21 state change event */ static int nm_statechg_event(int evt, struct nm_statechg_signal_data *nsd) { [...] case NM_OC_RADIO_CARRIER: trx = obj; if (new_state->operational == NM_OPSTATE_DISABLED && new_state->availability == NM_AVSTATE_OK) abis_nm_opstart(trx->bts, obj_class, trx->bts->bts_nr, trx->nr, 0xff); break; ============== So the opstrart for the RADIO_CARRIER is sent in response to an incoming NM_MT_STATECHG_EVENT_REP withe the operational state set to DISABLED and the availability set to OK. My guess is that you are not sending such a state event from the BTS to the BSC. I can also not see that in the pcap file you have sent. All OML messages in there relate to the Site MAnager or the BTS object class, but there are no messages related to any other MOs. As indicated, it is best to start from a known-working setup with a supported BTS model, or at least from a protocol trace of an existing supported configuration. Please also make sure to set your 'bts model' to nanobts, I _think_ the 'bts model sysmobts' is still broken.

[PATCH] nitb: Set the DST field in generated MM info messages
by Jacob Erlbeck 07 Jan '14

07 Jan '14

Currently the NET_DST information element (see GSM 24.008) is not included in generated MM info messages even when the DST field in the timezone info has been set via the VTY or the control interface. This patch modifies gsm48_tx_mm_info() to append this information element if (and only if) a non-zero DST has been configured. The DST IE is not part of GSM 4.8. Therefore it will only be sent, if the DST offset is configured to a value != 0.

OsmoDevCon 2014 / Date / Venue
by Harald Welte 01 Jan '14

01 Jan '14

Hi all, time is moving fast, and I want to start some initial discussion and planning for OsmoDevCon 2014. There are basically four questions which I'm raising below. Please provide your feedback to the osmocom-event-orga mailing list only, to avoid cross-posting over all the project lists. = Who? = My intention is to keep it an 'active developer/contributer only' event, like we had it before. I would also want to keep the group relatively small, to keep the 'Osmocom family' atmosphere. If desired, we could have one half or full day of public prsentations in a larger auditorium, but the developer meeting should be a close group, as known so far. = Where? = If we keep the number of attendees within the same range as this year, then I'm sure we could again hold it at the same venue. I know it is not perfect, but it is a place that we have access to, 24 hours per day, and free of cost for community projects like osmocom.org. If the community wants a larger event, then this is something that would require more funds and much more time organizing. And that is something that I personally could not offer to take care of, sorry. I'm happy to attend and support any larger events, but I'm unable to take care of fundraising and venue research. = When? = Q1/2014. In January, I'm not aware of any 'blocker' events. February, there is Fosdem (Feb 1 + Feb 2), and MWC from Feb 24 through Feb 27. In March there is CeBIT (March 10-14) and Easter holidays (with EasterHegg March 17-21). Did I miss any other FOSS / mobile event that might clash in Q1? So my preference woudl be to do it either late January (23-26) or in February (6-9 or 13-16). Any preferences regarding preferred schedule? Once we have some concencus here on the list [and we want to do it in the same size / venue], I'll talk to IN-Berlin. = What? = I think that question is easy to answer, if we have the above three figured out... There's no shortage of topics, I suppose. You can start adding your suggestions to http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/OsmoDevCon2014 Regards, Harald -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

[PATCH 1/8] mgcp: Rename for_each_line to for_each_non_empty_line
by Jacob Erlbeck 30 Nov '13

30 Nov '13

The implementation of for_each_line is based on strtok() and skips any sequence of CR and LF. Thus empty lines are never detected. There exists code which tests for an empty line to detect the beginning of the SDP part which is dead code currently (the parser works nevertheless due to other reasons). So the semantics of this macro have been misunderstood at least once. This patch renames the macro to reflect the semantics more precisely.
