Hi,
I'm wondering where I can source the Siemens BS11 firmware. It looks like OpenBSC is not providing any firmware images.
# bs11_config -p /dev/ttyUSB0 bs11_config (C) 2009-2010 by Harald Welte and Dieter Spaar This is FREE SOFTWARE with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY
LMT LOGON: ACK
PHASE: 1 Software required Abis-link: Down No valid Safety Load file "BTSBMC76.SWI"
Thanks, Andrew

I wonder where you got a BS-11 [in 2018] without firmware installed :P
It looks like OpenBSC is not providing any firmware images.
How could we? The firmware is a copyrighted work and property of Siemens and/or third parties. To my knowledge, it was made available only under NDA. Even without NDA, distributing it is copyright infringement.
It sucks, but that's unfortunately the situation :(
Regards, Harald
Hi Harald,
I wasn’t asking for anyone to distribute copyrighted software. I’m wondering if anyone knows a vendor that still sells it or another legal place to acquire the firmware.
Thanks, Andrew
