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.

A TS can be GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F_PDCH; those are the only ones for which we send a PDCH ACT message. We send a PDCH ACT message - during init (CHANNEL OML's state changed to enabled -> send PDCH ACT), - and upon channel release ack when pchan == GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F_PDCH. So the question is, when we receive a channel release ack, could that be the PDCH release and we switch PDCH right back on by accident? No, because we only receive a chan rel ack when the *TCH/F* is being released. That is because the PDCH release is initiated "internally" from the PDCH DEACT, and thus this condition in common/rsl.c rsl_tx_rf_rel_ack() catches on, which existed before dyn PDCH: if (lchan->rel_act_kind != LCHAN_REL_ACT_RSL) { LOGP(DRSL, LOGL_NOTICE, "%s not sending REL ACK\n", gsm_lchan_name(lchan)); return 0; } In rsl_rx_rf_chan_rel() the rel_act_kind is set to LCHAN_REL_ACT_RSL, but not in the rsl_rx_dyn_pdch(). This is analogous to the ip.access way -- the ip.access nanobts replies to a PDCH DEACT with a PDCH DEACT ACK and doesn't send a separate channel release ack. Maybe we could set rel_act_kind to some new LCHAN_REL_ACT_IPAC_DYN_PDCH for clarity? (But we shouldn't actually send a release ack, to stay compatible.) Even though it works as-is, we should indeed add another flag check: - We do check the flags that no ACT/DEACT is already pending; - And we do send a PDCH DEACT only if ts->flags & TS_F_PDCH_ACTIVE; - But we would send a PDCH ACT despite ts->flags & TS_F_PDCH_ACTIVE. This should never happen, but it would make sense to ensure that. ~Neels

Moving from trac to a single redmine
by Holger Freyther 25 Sep '16

25 Sep '16

Hi guys, I think some of us would like to move to redmine and start using public tickets more frequently. So in case we move there are some topics to be discussed and I would like to start with a couple of them right now. Tickets: Redmine has a global linear sequence of ticket numbers. If we move from many tracs to a single redmine we can either: * not import tickets * only import from one project * deal with changing ticket numbers In terms of installations the GMR trac is broken in regard to tickets, there are some for SDR that are probably not being fixed anytime soon, baseband might be relevant and OpenBSC is unlikely to be relevant. I don't think we have ever used ticket reference in OpenBSC commit messages so in terms of OpenBSC having changing ticket numbers would not be a big deal. E.g. we could add a custom field with the old trac number? Wiki: We have external references that should be redirected to the new place. Is there any way besides maintaining a list in the apache2/nginx configuration and making redirects as we find broken references? Can we proactively manage this? Is anybody willing to come up with a script and nginx configuration for doing this? kind regards holger

GPRS on osmo-trx not working
by Neels Hofmeyr 11 Jul '16

11 Jul '16

Hi List, Voice is working well, but I can't seem to get GPRS working on osmo-trx. I used the standard debian 8.4 packages for UHD which seem to work, and documented that at http://osmocom.org/projects/osmotrx/wiki/OsmoTRX#Dependencies I also tried to use a PCU from before EDGE support was merged, so that's not causing it. Any ideas on what might be causing this? With sysmobts, for example, I needed to configure the pcu with --enable-sysmocom-dsp. Any such things with osmo-trx? I'm running both pcu and osmo-bts-trx as root with -r 1. Some of the log messages look quite bad, like 20160628170840743 DNS <0010> gprs_ns.c:951 NS RESET ACK Discarding unexpected message for NS-VCI 1800 from SGSN NSEI=1800 I didn't do the rts-advance increase by 5, because when that log message is issued, the PCU is not running yet: 20160628170837632 DL1C <0006> scheduler.c:240 Prim for trx=0 ts=0 at fn=272652 is out of range, or channel already disabled. If this happens in conjunction with PCU, increase 'rts-advance' by 5. (current fn=272658) Below are some logs and attached are the config files. The identical setup is working for other BTS models, the osmo-bts.cfg is the only difference.

OsmoTRX / BER, RSSI and Link Quality
by Harald Welte 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

Hi Tom and List, we're currently introducing some code that will make more use of measurement related information associated with the PH-RACH.req and PH-DATA.ind coming from the PHY up into L2. The first part is to introduce a reasonable BER limit fo 17% for RACH ghost elimination, but I have more plans for unifying the measurement processing/generation accross all supported BTS models. For osmo-bts-{sysmo,lc15,octphy} it is clear to me how to get the related information on RSSI, BER and LinkQuality for each of the RACH and DATA indications from the PHY. However, how can I get the related information from osmo-bts-trx? osmo-bts-trx seems to lack any BER reporting toward the common part, which among other things is the reason why link/rate adaption in the PCU can not work with it. Could you sched some light on this? -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

Hi all I am installing OpenBSC.I just following http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/Building_OpenBSC (I am just Building libosmocore, Building libosmo-abis, Building libosmo-netif, Building OpenBSC and install library.) But when I tried to run OpenBSC,I encounter with this error(problem). user12@ubuntu:~$ cd '/home/user12/openbsc/openbsc/src/osmo-nitb' user12@ubuntu:~/openbsc/openbsc/src/osmo-nitb$ sudo ./osmo-nitb <0005> bsc_init.c:492 Failed to parse the config file: 'openbsc.cfg' Or how do I run the software(OpenBSC)! Or do I have to install something missing? Note: My Linux is version ubuntu 12.04 . Please help me. thank you.

Is there a maximum separation in Mhz for ARFCNs on one BTS?
by Keith Whyte 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Hi all, Would somebody who is familiar with the relevant part of the GSM spec be able to comment? I'm wondering if there's any issue in GSM running a dual TRX BTS with two ARFCNs on opposite ends of the band? For example, in GSM850, this would mean the downlinks could be on 869.2 and 893.8 Mhz so the phone could have to tune across a wider range between the SDCCH and TCH for example. Thanks!

If I remember this part of the code correctly, this zeroing is required to make this work when there are lost bursts. E.g. if you need 4 bursts, but you only received bursts 0, 1 and 2 you should let the device know that your missing burst 3. If you don't do that, decoder won't run at all and to will miss what could be a decodable frame. By disabling this code you essentially start decoding only perfect frames, which are obviously decoded fine in perfect conditions. I.e. this only makes the actual problem, whatever it is.

scope of scheduler.c and trx_sched_*
by Neels Hofmeyr 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

I notice that apparently osmo-bts-trx is the only caller of the trx_sched_* API, yet it is implemented in common/scheduler.c and compiled to libl1sched.a. Is osmo-bts-trx really the only caller? Also in osmo-bts-trx, the "trx" to me means SDR, like B200. But any BTS has one or more TRXs. So why isn't it osmo-bts-sdr? That's why I thought: maybe trx_sched_ is for all BTS models?
