Hi,
My name is Brackley Cassinga Form DRC, we run a community network called
pamoja net where we offer gsm services using osmocom open source software
and OC Base station.
Recently I have tried to install another base station as the same installed
but I could not find any resource guiding through all the steps to take to
run NIB on a base station.
I'm currently running Ubuntu and I will appreciate if you could guide me on
the installation of BSC,hlr,MSC , in order to run a basic gsm network.
Thank you. Regards

Hi all,
What are the plans to expand support for new SDR devices?
When I check the contents of osmo-trx/Transceiver52M/device/ on the git
master I see the supported lms, uhd and usrp1 devices. For example the XTRX
SDR was presented at OsmoDevCon 2018. I expected it to be included in the
master soon. At this point I see its addition in the fairwaves /
libxtrx-wip branch from 2018. That doesn't give me much encouragement for
my next question.
Would it be possible to add support for PCIe SDR from Amarisoft?
Some information about SDR is here
https://discourse.myriadrf.org/t/amarisoft-sdr-integration-with-oai/2288
Based on the
https://media.ccc.de/v/osmocon2018-82-osmotrx-status-support-for-more-drive…
I tried to create support by myself. I've gotten into a state that some MS
with weak requirements for signal quality and timing can connect. My branch
is here https://github.com/XK1ZU/osmo-trx/tree/PCIeSDR-LMSstyle
gr-osmosdr support is here
https://github.com/XK1ZU/gr-osmosdr/commits/PCIeSDR
This osmo-trx is able to run for a few tens of seconds then it quits and I
have to restart it, so I would need a deeper understanding of the timing
and scheduling of processes within osmo-trx. Who should be a clock master
SW stack or SDR device?
I see a lot of log error messages as

Hi all,
it has been coming up in at least two contexts recently: Select is showing
up a lot in system-level profiles particularly on osmo-bts.
This is hardly surprising, as select() is not particularly known for
efficiency. It was used back in 2008 for the *BSC*, in a context where
we were talking about 1-10 BTS with each no more than 1-2 TRX. Now we
are using the same osmo_fd abstraction on the BTS, where the number of
messages per second is much higher, particularly in osmo-bts-trx with
its TRXD protocol, and particularly with higher number of TRX per BTS.
There is an older feature request to introduce epoll support in https://osmocom.org/issues/1579
but unfortunately nobody has been finding the resources and/or time to
implement it.
Meanwhile, 1.5 years ago, the Linux kernel received a new sub-system
called io_uring, which I would personally love to support. Here are some
pointers for those who are interested:
https://lwn.net/Articles/776703/https://kernel.dk/io_uring.pdfhttps://lwn.net/Kernel/Index/#io_uring
As unfortunately not everyone is using half-way recent kernels, we will
likely have to fall back to epoll or something like that.
Regards,
Harald

There is an urgent need to migrate our most important public
infrastructure to a new server, and I will be doing that on
*Sunday, July 19 2020*, starting about 9am CEST.
The migration involves redmine (main osmocom.org website), jenkins, gerrit,
git, and cgit.
In theory, the migration should be quick. I would expect (significantly)
less than one hour of downtime. However, we all know Murphys law.
Services not affected are mail (including mailman lists), ftp, dns. So in case
of doubt, we can still use mailing lists to communicate.
In case anyone urgently needs osmocom source code on Sunday morning
during the downtime: There are public mirrors available on github.
Regards,
Harald

Hi all,
Just wondering what the status of OsmoCBC is?
I started compiling from source, but I couldn't find any docs on
interfacing with it other than that it's via a HTTP REST API,
If there aren't any docs are there packet captures or examples I can work
from that'd be quicker than trying to reverse it from the source code,
Happy to contribute some docs once I work it out,
Cheers,
Nick
