Actually to get it to start I have to:
- After powering it, wait for like 10 min. (If I try to start openbsc any sooner, it will never bootstrap)
If I remember, I never had to wait longer than half a minute after power on. But this was with the version from August, so some changes in the code might cause this behaviour.
But I could add this 'reset' process as an nokia specific option to the vty (i.e. reset_on_start or something ).
A configuration option is fine, I would set the default to "always reset" and only if someone know what he does, he can turn the reset off (I think I had strange effects while changing the configuration and not doing a reset, so this situation should be avoided).
Best regards, Dieter
Hello Dieter,

Yes, seems to work fine now even just after a couple of minutes.
Definitely need the reset on the first start tough (at least for me). Then for subsequent restart, it's not needed.
A configuration option is fine, I would set the default to "always reset" and only if someone know what he does, he can turn the reset off (I think I had strange effects while changing the configuration and not doing a reset, so this situation should be avoided).
I added a 'nokia_site skip-reset 1' option if need be.
Tested and it works fine when I put the T200 timer to > 400 ms (it used to be at 800 ms in the old LAPD code, but got changed to the spec compliant 240 ms). I think jolly is working on a way to change that 'on demand' rather than globally.
Cheers,
Sylvain
