pespin gerrit-no-reply at lists.osmocom.orgpespin has uploaded this change for review. ( https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-trx/+/14985 Change subject: Drop old README information, provide new updated README ...................................................................... Drop old README information, provide new updated README Previous content in README file is actually a description of the TRXD and TRXC protocols, and it has already been moved to the User Manual some time ago. INSTALLATION contained README related information, but it was really out of date. So this commit basically drops those two files and provides a new README with content taken from Osmocom's OsmoTRX project wiki page.
