To clarify: sysmocom != Harald.
I personally have bought one, which I have at home, and sysmocom has
another one (at the sysmocom office/lab).

the way it looks, it has been connected to our osmo-gsm-tester setup,
which basically is a coaxial RF distribution network to which a variety
of BTSs (nanoBTS, sysmoBTS, USRP B2xx, UmTRX, ...) are connected, and where
we run automatic continous tests with a set of modems against our latest "master"
of the Osmocom stack.

This should all be possible. I doubt anyone has removed/erased the firmware
on it.
In fact, I think that connecting the FCDEV to the osmo-gsm-tester
setup might not be the best idea. It might be better to have a dedicated
test setup with a single BTS and the FCDEV, to which we can then provide
remote access. But let's have that discussion at https://osmocom.org/issues/2704

I'm not sure where you would get such an idea from. We're happy to test
whatever makes sense technically, and if there are any [suspected] interoperability
problems with the Osmocom network-side stack, then we want to resolve those,
no matter what the MS side implementation.
