Hello,

I am interested in the sdr_phy work being done currently, and I'm
trying to get it set up on my computer. I built osmo-trx from the ms
branch and implemented a crude power measurement command. When running
trxcon everything works fine, I get power indications for channels,
and then when the mobile app is trying to sync to an ARFCN I start
having issues.

The FCCH bursts are decoded fine, and so are the SCH bursts (which I
can also see in the osmo-trx terminal). I had to change the code of
trxcon in order for SCH to work, because the bit values were inverted
(0 was 1 and viceversa). I am attaching the changes at the end of the
message.

Unfortunately, the BCCH and CCCH bursts are not decoded:
<0006> sched_lchan_sch.c:98 Received SCH: bsic=30, fn=1116799, sched_fn=1116798
<0006> sched_lchan_xcch.c:69 Data received on BCCH: fn=1116800 ts=0 bid=0
<0006> sched_lchan_xcch.c:69 Data received on BCCH: fn=1116801 ts=0 bid=1
<0006> sched_lchan_xcch.c:69 Data received on BCCH: fn=1116802 ts=0 bid=2
<0006> sched_lchan_xcch.c:69 Data received on BCCH: fn=1116803 ts=0 bid=3
<0006> sched_lchan_xcch.c:117 Received bad data frame at fn=1116800
(2/51) for BCCH with 66 errors

It appears as if the deinterleaving in gsm0503_xcch_decode does not
work... could be the order of bursts?

I'd appreciate any help here. I'm also ready to share the changes I've
made to osmo-trx/ms and trxcon.

Best regards,
Adrian
