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 ...

Expected %s and got %s." % (sw.lower(), rv[1])) RuntimeError: SW match failed ! Expected 9000 and got 9804. I checked mailing lists and haven’t found anybody who had similar problem with pysim. 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

pycrate repo update

by benoit michau

Dear osmocom developpers, This is just to let you know that the Python library pycrate has a new home : https://github.com/pycrate-org/pycrate. The packages on Pypi are now feeded from there. This library can be used in many cases dealing with mobile signalling. I wanted to let you know, as even if I am not aware of any osmocom projects depending on it, some of you may use the library from time to time, or could have local applications depending on it. Best Regards Benoit

Re: Help with sccp library

by mosbah abdelkader

> I don't understand. This callback will be called with data you need to write > to the network. In case of MTP Level3 you will need to wrap that around the > msgb you got. 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.

Is Feeling Stuck When Writing About Language Change a Common Experience?

by fennellmarian018＠gmail.com

I've been doing a lot of study on how language changes throughout time, and this week I really hit a brick wall. It seems as though I know what I want to say but am unable to adequately organize it. Has anyone else encountered this while studying languages? In the end, I sought assistance with my linguistics dissertation, and it changed my life not only for feedback, but also for learning how to more effectively communicate intricate language theories. I'd be interested in knowing how other people overcame comparable obstacles. visit: https://thedissertationhelp.co.uk/linguistics-dissertation-writing-service/

How to Navigate Complex Legal Frameworks in BSC Implementations

by fennellmarian018＠gmail.com

As I delve deeper into the complexities of Base Station Controller (BSC) integration in open-source mobile networks, I've discovered multiple overlapping areas of regulatory compliance and telecommunications law. This convergence has unexpectedly prompted me to seek law dissertation help, in particular to better understand how international legal requirements govern open BSC implementations in various nations. If anyone else here has investigated legal issues in their academic or practical work linked to OpenBSC, I'd be happy to share ideas or propose literature. visit: https://dissertationwritinghelp.uk/law-dissertation-help/

Managing Complicated Laws in BSC Implementations

by fennellmarian018＠gmail.com

The complexities of Base Station Controller (BSC) integration in open-source mobile networks have presented me with a number of overlapping areas pertaining to telecommunications legislation and regulatory compliance. In order to better comprehend how international legal standards affect open BSC installations in various jurisdictions, this intersection has unanticipatedly prompted me to seek law dissertation help. I would love to hear from anyone else who has studied legal issues in their OpenBSC-related academic or practical work, as well as suggest some books.

Issues with writing adoc manual for contributed library

by Mychaela Falconia

Hello Osmocom community, Over the past several months I developed my own RTP endpoint implementation library (alternative to libortp), and I seek to get it merged into libosmo-netif so it can be used by OsmoBTS as an option: https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/libosmo-netif/+/39280 https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/libosmo-netif/+/39281 https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/libosmo-netif/+/39291 I am now working on documentation, which I need to finish before I can lift these patches out of WIP in Gerrit. The last of the 3 WIP patches linked above is the one adding an adoc manual, built with the same tools as other Osmocom manuals, and I need some help with this one: 1) When I run './configure --enable-manuals' followed by 'make' on the Debian machine which Vadim provided to me for Osmocom documentation work, everything seems successful and I get a PDF rendering of my WIP manual. However, as soon as I uploaded this patch to Gerrit, I see a build failure in Jenkins. What am I doing wrong? I'm afraid that my knowledge of Autotools is not good enough to figure this one out. 2) My progress in writing the actual manual has reached the point where I need to insert some graphical diagrams showing the flow of RTP packets and the latency and jitter they experience in transit. I am thinking of one horizontal axis showing regularly spaced packets as they are emitted by the source, then forward-and-down arrows showing their transit with fixed or variable latency, then another horizontal axis below showing the receiver's view of time, with marked arrival times of packets (endpoints of latency arrows) and fixed-spacing times when the GSM or TDM system polls the jitter buffer. Question: what is the appropriate tool within the accepted Osmocom adoc suite for drawing such diagrams? If I weren't trying to get my RTP implementation accepted into Osmocom, I would have written this manual in troff on my favorite 1980s UNIX system, using pic preprocessor in the troff suite for graphical drawings like this one - but I reason that I need to write my manual within Osmocom documentation framework in order to maximize the chance of the associated code library being accepted into libosmo-netif, with follow-on patches to osmo-bts to use it optionally as an alternative to libortp. 3) When I do successful test builds on Vadim's Debian machine and get a PDF rendering of my WIP manual, the cover page in the PDF features both Sysmocom and Osmocom logos just like the mainstream Osmocom manuals, with Sysmocom logo on top. While this arrangement is probably appropriate for the existing manuals which were written predominantly by members of Sysmocom crew, it seems quite wrong for an external contributor's manual that does not contain a single sentence written by Sysmocom. How do I tweak things to remove that Sysmocom logo from the cover page, or even better, put San Diego 2G Association logo in its place? My contributions to Osmocom are directly linked to my efforts to build a new GSM network in San Diego, hence there is some symmetry between Sysmocom and SD2G in terms of Osmocom FLOSS project contributions, except for the rather big asymmetry in that SD2G is strictly non-profit.

cmd2 update causing pySim-shell to fail

by bryan coxwell

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
