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.

cmd2 update causing pySim-shell to fail
by bryan coxwell 24 Jun '25

24 Jun '25

Hi all, Just wanted to share an issue and a quick workaround I found for it in case anyone else has the same problem. I believe a cmd2 update is causing pySim-shell to fail. After installing it on a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 20.04 and getting the following error when I run "python3 pySim-shell -p0": >Using PC/SC reader interface >Autodetected card type: sysmoUSIM-SJS1 >AIDs on card: > USIM: a0000000871002ffffffff8907090000 >Traceback (most recent call last): > File "pySim-shell.py", line 512, in <module> > app = PysimApp(card, rs, opts.script) > File "pySim-shell.py", line 59, in __init__ > super().__init__(persistent_history_file='~/.pysim_shell_history', allow_cli_args=False, use_ipython=True, auto_load_commands=False, command_sets=basic_commands, >startup_script=script) >TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'use_ipython' If you run into this you can fix it by uninstalling cmd2 and reinstalling cmd2 with "pip3 install cmd2==1.5". Best, Bryan

dynamic traffic channels

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

Problem while running NIB on Open Cellular Base sation
by Brackley Casinga 31 Jan '24

31 Jan '24

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.

RFC: migrating git.osmocom.org to gitea?
by Harald Welte 31 Mar '22

31 Mar '22

Hi all! [please follow-up-to the openbsc(a)lists.osmocom.org mailing list, if there is any discussion, we don't want to drag it over tons of mailing lists in parallel] Some weeks ago, I created https://osmocom.org/issues/5397 but it seems nobody noticed the ticket or had any comments to it. So let me post this as RFC here on the mailing list: In the past, we had a gitolite/gitosis setup, which was fine in the early days of git, but it means that people cannot easily create new repositories, see who has permissions, and we cannot delegate ownership. Even updating SSH keys requires manual interaction of a sysadmin like me. I would therefore suggest to migrate git.osmocom.org to gitea[1] This would allow the following features: * users can self-create any number of personal repositories (like gitlab/github) * we can create 'organizations' along the line of reasonably independent osmocom member projects like op25, who can then manage their own repos/permissions/... * gitea can link to redmine wiki and redmine issue trackers (rather than using its own built-in) For those repositories hosted in gerrit (mainly CNI), we would still keep git.osmocom.org a read-only mirror, like we do it right now. For those repositories not hosted in gerrit, users/projects could then accept merge requests in gitea. Coupling this with 3rd party authentication via github/gitlab/etc should make it easier for the occasional contributor to submit changes. There is a downside, of course; A lot of repo URLs have to change. Most of our current repositories are at git.osmocom.org/project.git while gitea follows a git.osmocom.org/organization/project.git scheme. I'm not sure there is any way to help to mitigate this... Any thoughts, comments?

OSMO HnbGW MGW instance config problem
by Sjur Thomas Lien 31 Mar '22

31 Mar '22

Hi Osmocom, I'm setting up osmo-hnbgw and osm-stp ( on centos 8 ) to work with Spidercloud Hnb, and Ericsson MSC/SGSN. Today I had a major breakthrough. I've done my first PS and CS attach, even got voice call up. But it's silent. I see in hnbgw manual that I should configure a co-located MGW instance. I've installed the osmo-mgw, but my problem is the osmo-hnbgw config. There is no option "mgcp" under node hnbgw, so I'm not able to do the config. From my osmo-mgw: OsmoHNBGW(config-hnbgw)# OsmoHNBGW(config-hnbgw)# OsmoHNBGW(config-hnbgw)# list help list [with-flags] show vty-attributes show vty-attributes (application|library|global) write terminal write file [PATH] write memory write show running-config exit end rnc-id <0-65535> log-prefix (hnb-id|umts-cell-id) iuh iucs iups OsmoHNBGW(config-hnbgw)# OsmoHNBGW(config-hnbgw)# OsmoHNBGW(config-hnbgw)# mgcp % Unknown command.

OSMO HnbGW , M3UA problems real MSC and SGSN
by Sjur Thomas Lien 26 Mar '22

26 Mar '22

Hi, I've run into problems with M3UA, getting the link up. Our MSC sends a M3UA DAUD message ( Destination Audit ), which is unknown to HnbGw. This might not be a big problem, but the MSC does not support registering of routing-key. And it looks like because MSC rejects the REG-REQ, the HnbGw restarts the signalling link by sending SCTP SHUTDOWN to MSC. I tried to drop the line routing-key in config file, but REG_REQ was sent anyway. I also tried to enter routing-key with context=0, same thing.
