Ericsson RBS 6402
by Caleb Pal 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Good Afternoon, I recently acquired a NIB Ericsson RBS 6402. The specific model number appears to be KRD 901 060/83. I see that the osmocom crew has integrated this RBS with NextEPC at the 2019 CCC Camp event. I have used other vendors eNodeB's with NextEPC, and would like to try the RBS with it as well. So far, I have booted up the RBS, and set my machine with a 10.1.1.1/24 IP address. The limited documentation I found online said the RBS should respond to http at 10.1.1.11, at which point an XML site configuration file can be uploaded. I see arp responses in WireShark from 10.1.1.11, but cannot ping, or access http @ 10.1.1.11. If I place the RBS on a network with a DHCP server, it obtains an address, but in the same state, no response to pings, and no http access. Also tried ssh on the standard port, with no response. I see the wiki has information that appears to be output from a terminal. Is that SSH or serial to the board itself? I do have a rasbpi available on the network with a GPS/1PPS source for timing. Is this as simple as setting opt 042 in the DHCP server that the RBS will use? Any guidance is appreciated! v/r, Caleb

shutdown FSM breaks ttcn3-bsc-test
by Neels Hofmeyr 26 Jun '20

26 Jun '20

dear Pau, please fix either osmo-bts or ttcn3-bsc-tests so that running ttcn3-bsc-tests works again. The failure I get for each and every BSC test: Verdict: fail reason: "Timeout waiting for BTS0 oml-connection-state ""degraded" When I downgrade osmo-bts to 580a27e97c3f0e139dfd7b0c10de24463d4b5294 (just before the shutdown FSM was introduced), the tests work again. (I didn't bisect, just picked that commit.) This failure is particularly harmful now because we're currently struggling with quite a couple of other reasons that cause the ttcn3-bsc-tests to fail. So when we fix those, jenkins won't show the fix, but yet a different error. I'm reluctant to revert your patches now, hopefully you can find a fix quickly to move forward instead. BTW, I also have introduced another new segfault in osmo-bsc myself, testing the fix now and merging it directly when successful, so that we don't all go insane. ~N

Introducing E1 / Abis support to osmo-mgw
by Harald Welte 21 Jun '20

21 Jun '20

Hi Philipp (and lurkers on this list), I've just pushed an update to the @laforge/trau@ branch of libosmo-abis, which contains the new code modules for E1 / TRAU usage, and also a small test program and test data. The test program takes a raw binary dump created from an E1 timeslot with TRAU frames captured of a BS-11 and converts that to RTP packets. You can feed those RTP packets into osmo-gapk to play them back. The audio is clear, there are just a few seconds of quiet at the beginning before anything is audible. The patches also add an "I460" mode to e1_input. So from the osmo-mgw side, I think we need to * link against libosmo-abis and call e1inp_init + e1inp_vty_init() * use existing VTY code to configure E1 line numbers / drivers / ports * call e1inp_ts_config_i460() on every timeslot we want to use (this should *not* happen on all timeslots, as some of them are used for signalling by the BSC) * call osmo_i460_subchan_add() / osmo_i460_subchan_del() for each i.460 sub-slot we want to use * build the processing chain like in libosmo-abis/contrib/trau2rtp/trau2rtp.c via i460 -> trau_sync -> osmo_trau_frame_decode_16k/osmo_trau_frame_decode_8k -> osmo_trau2rtp I believe this should be at a stage where it can be integrated into osmo-mgw. The API may not be 100% stable yet, but it shouldn't change completely. The main missing bits are: * allow selection of sync pattern in trau_sync.c (or auto-detect?) * handling of T-bits for alignment of air-interface timing with downlink TRAU frame timing I will next be hacking on a small tool that will speak the 'osmo-e1d' protocol but use binary capture files that are looped over and over again. This way you should be able to use libosmo-abis e1_input without any physical card and still get TRAU frame data. At a lower priority, I'd like to look into support for HRv1 and AMR TRAU frames on 16k sub-slots. -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)osmocom.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

updated videos / presentations on setting up Osmocom CNI
by Harald Welte 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

Hi! I just realized that since OsmoCon was discontinued after 2018 didn't result in sufficient turn-out, and only the 2017 incarnation contained some entry-level talks, we actually only have introductory level presentations / videos about a setup that still covers OsmoNITB. (https://media.ccc.de/v/osmocon17-4002-running_a_basic_circuit_switched_osmo…) This may or may not be a reason why some people still want to set up OsmoNITB in 2020. While our wiki and user manuals all have deprecated OsmoNITB years ago, people who only look for videos might be mislead. Also, I'm sure that several other presentation (like the one about 3G / osmo-iuh before the CNI split) would similarly benefit from an update. So I think we should try to create/update some slide decks and record related lectures / tutorials at some point this year. I wouldn't bother setting up a virtual conference or some kind of remote interaction at this point. Recording some talks and/or screencasts allows us to create and release them one-by-one. I would like to get started by collecting a list of topics at https://osmocom.org/issues/4578 before we start to actually work on the presentations. One question is also how to record, but let's first work on the content before we worry about recording and publication.

ttcn3-bsc-test: LCLS test cases broken since build #987 (May 29)
by Vadim Yanitskiy 03 Jun '20

03 Jun '20

Hi all, as was noticed during the weekly review, all TTCN-3 BSC test cases from LCLS group are failing since build #987 (May 29) [1], so I am trying to investigate this. Until now I thought that it's somehow related to my IPA/RSL refactoring patch set, so I spent half of a day reading the code of those test cases and trying to figure out what could be the reason. But then I checked ttcn3-bsc-test-latest [2]. I should have done this first, of course. Magically all LCLS test cases are green there. So I assume that it's not related to the recent IPA/RSL changes, and most likely caused by recent changes to osmo-bsc and/or libosmo-*. I already tried to downgrade osmo-bsc to v1.6.0 (Jan 3) with no luck. If anyone was working on something related to RSL, MGCP or LCLS, please let me know - this might help to find the problem faster. Thanks!

Osmo-SIP-Connector Version 6
by Sonny Lafuente 30 May '20

30 May '20

Hi Community, Does anyone here tried to upgrade the your working OSMO environment to its latest version? I have the experience where I upgraded my working osmo to the latest version and I have encountering some problem between the connection of osmo-nitb and osmo-sip-connector. For the latest sip connector update it will communicate the connection going to osmo-msc. Since I don’t use the osmo-msc instead I am using the osmo-nitb for the standalone project. Below is the error I have experiencing right now in the osmo-sip-connector and osmo-nitb.

DGSM merge: need feedback on open questions
by Neels Hofmeyr 02 May '20

02 May '20

Hi all, we need to wrap up the DGSM work and get it to a state that can be merged to master. There are still open issues that I am not sure how to solve, which I've mentioned on some occasions, but it seems to not have been loud enough. I would easily choose one way, but am not sure about others' opinions. (1) One open point is the GSUP peer identification. I've added a comment explaining it in https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-hlr/+/16459/9 Me personally, I would strip down basically all of that complexity again and go with the simplest solution, a nul terminated size limited char string for GSUP peer id. The patch became what it is because vague requirements were thrown in the mix and I tried to accomodate them, and now it ended up being a rather ugly shim around a simple char string, really. (2) Another open question is the freeing behavior in osmo_gsup_req (for proper async handling of DGSM, and to ensure proper GSUP responses). I've added a comment explaining that in https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-hlr/+/16205/29 The gist for both issues is that I could write patches that would have a large ripple effect throug many files and follow-up patches, but if we again disagree on the outcome, the work would multiply. So, DGSM works and is ready, except that we need to agree on what will be accepted by review. I need opinions to be able to complete this (or possibly a "go" to do whatever I think is right and merge that). Thanks! ~N

I run these three applications in three terminals successively, it seems ok, but the tx/rx leds on usrp-b210 hardware platform are not lighted, and the print message in the osmo-trx terminal shows : Thu Apr 30 15:28:28 2020 DTRXCTRL <0002> Transceiver.cpp:832 [tid=139871716352896][chan=0] command is 'POWEROFF' Thu Apr 30 15:28:28 2020 DTRXCTRL <0002> Transceiver.cpp:977 [tid=139871716352896][chan=0] response is 'RSP POWEROFF 0' I try to send some commands on another terminal which launch a telnet session which connects to the osmo-bts control interface(port number is 4238) , but it not working. what can i do next? thanks a lot.
