Hello everybody,
finally i found some time to unwrap my precious BS-11 and started
playing. Unfortuantely i did not get to far...
I managed to build the power cable, install the antenna, hook up
the serial cable to a debian box and install the openbsc software.
I followed the steps in the wiki, e.g. run "bs11_config -p /dev/ttyS0"
and then turn on the BS-11. The green power LED on the BS-11 is solid
green. But i do not get any output from the bs11_config (e.g. no
booting messages, etc). :-(
Sometimes bs11_config segfaults when i switch on the power to the BS-11:
bs11_config -p /dev/ttyS0
bs11_config (C) 2009 by Harald Welte and Dieter Spaar
This is FREE SOFTWARE with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY
Invalid length in hdr: 0
Segmentation fault
The serial cable is connected to the serial port (1 of 4) which is
closest to the antenna connectors (like i have seen it on the photo).
What did i do wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help. :-)
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

You should start bs11_config after turning on the BS-11, as it tries to
login to the BS-11 as the first step. I usually start the BS-11, wait 2
minutes and then start bs11_config.
Sometimes bs11_config segfaults when i switch on the
power to the BS-11:
Because it receives the initial spikes on the serial line as "garbage"
and tries to interpret them. Just don't do it in this order.
The serial cable is connected to the serial port (1 of
4) which is
closest to the antenna connectors (like i have seen it on the photo).
That is the right connector.
If the communication does not work when you start bs11_config after the
BS-11, try a serial to usb adapter. I had no success with the normal
serial ports on two different machines, but a (FTDI) serial converter
worked at once. See also:

Mhm, we need a way to get this files out of the working BS-11 stations
(yes, i know the problem about the copyrights, I just want the files).
Is there a chance to modify bs11_config for this purpose?

Hi,
my BS-11 now has a firmware and gets up to phase 3 without problems.
I even managed to solder the E1 cable with my shaky hands. ;-)
The BS-11 is now connected to an E1 miniPCI card (with zaptel drivers)
and layer 1 is up and running (using hdb3 line coding without crc4).
This weekend i hope to find some time to write an input module
for zaptel. I will provide some update on this next week.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Thanks... I just bouth a usb serial adapter from Conrad ("USB Modem
Adapter", Nr. 982417) and now i can see the boot messages.
I already had tried it with a second machine (Tyan mainboard) which
also did not work. But now it's fine. :)
