Hi Domi,

You don't understand. I'm neither afraid or enthusiastic about it.
I cannot test yet. Still waiting on my phone:(

Re: Osmocon

[Tomcsányi , Domonkos]

Hi Nikos,

I’m really happy to see someone being so enthusiastic about testing out 
OsmocomBB. It is definitely one of the most intereting open-source projects out 
there.

However I feel like there is an imbalance between the amount of mails being 
sent and the amount of fiddling done. Don’t take this the wrong way, but if you 
attempted to compile the code and test it out, or watch some talks/videos you 
would not need to search for osmocon or try to extend it with USB support. I am 
only saying this because the amount of time spent on writing the mails in 
question would have been enough, in my opinion, to actually do the task in 
question. Therefore it does not always make sense to write an email before just 
trying it out. Don’t worry about trying out things, there is not much chance of 
you breaking anything :).
All in all this software was created, as far as I know by people testing and 
trying tirelessly and eventually succeeding in achieving their goals. This is 
the spirit of hacking and open-source.

Happy hacking, get your fingers dirty :)!

Domi

[Nikos Balkanas]

Ty Craig,

I'll try it for myself before changing anything:)

I'm surprised, however, that osmocon can work like that. RS232 interfaces
need different initialization (baud rate, stop bits, parity, etc) that usb
doesn't understant!

Exactly. I have mostly used a USB to serial adapter without modifying 
osmocom-bb code at all. At one point I also built osmocom-bb natively on a 
raspberry-pi and was able to operate that way to some extent.

Re: Osmocon

[Nikos Balkanas]

Ty Vasil,

Found it:)

Seems it supports only serial interfaces:(
PCs since 5 years back don't have any more serial interfaces. Only usb:(
Planning to add usb support to osmocon.
Is there any interest for a patch, or should I do it just for myself?

PS: You can convert a USB port to serial with a USB2serial converter:)

Hi Nikos,

To run osmocom-bb I need to install and use osmocon.
Can't find it in git repos. Where is it hiding?


It's part of osmocom-bb.

Re: Osmocon failed to flash

[Felix Angga]

I'm using CP2102 with apprx 1 m stereo cable.
I create another jack with shorter cable and still the same error.
I have cp2102 and Pl 2303 and has the same resut.
My last suspect is the phone. My phone is C118 made in china. Is that any
limitations on specified region that support osmocom ?
