I can not start with that - seems too advanced for a beginning... Just a simple connection. The simplest stuff possible. > For > just finding cells and catching announcements on the beacon channel, you > may be better off starting with cell_log Yes great. I'd like to start only with that. So I guess current master is able to do this, I do not need SIM... I prefer to try this for a gentle introduction. > It is more or less operational except for those two caveats: > > 1.

But as I said, I have no intention to TX anything. Just to receive some signals and to have packet appearing on my host running Wireshark. So, that I can slowly start changing/adding logs to layer1 and layer23 code and observe consequences in educational purposes. > > 2.
