Yes, I implemented both commands, I can share the code with you. My
problem is that Gnuradio (distro version) is built against an
incompatible ABI version of libuhd, so I have to jump through major
hoops just to get both osmo-trx and gnuradio working. So currently all
my tests are using osmo-trx only.

Yes, the SCH burst has a correct frame number. But the BCCH and CCCH
bursts fail to be decoded. CRC fails in
libosmocore/coding/gsm0503_coding.c
Is your gr-gsm fake-trx able to decode correctly BCCH and CCCH? I
double checked the osmo-trx code and besides some major differences
between the MS branch and master, everything looks correct.

Yes, I'd like that, but for now I just want to get BCCH and CCCH
working and the mobile syncing with the BTS. Then I will be able to
test.

Cheers,
