Re: FreeCalypso update

My last comment on the thread - I don't really like this cellphone madness in which the world tuned to, but working with (GSM) community mobile telephony networks with indigenous and marginalized people, the fact that we have state of art silicon like the Calypso and many others developed and

Re: FreeCalypso update

Mychaela I made a comment which included my personal opinion; I had no intention with that to try persuade anyone (particularly on a cell phone orientated list!) that they should stop using phones. I've not had a massive problem with MMS, quite possibly because since I returned to Europe I

Re: FreeCalypso update

Hi David, > So for the little phone use I do, I now have a as yet unliberated C139. So what happens when you give someone your mobile number and they turn around and betray that trust by sending you MMS? How does Motorola's official C139 fw behave when faced with a hostile act of someone

Re: FreeCalypso update

Dear Michaela, I really appreciate the recent FreeCalypso developments, and I'm really looking forward for the first free/libre mobile phone on Earth! I don't think Brazil or other underdeveloped countries will move away from GSM that fast... I'll certainly at least want one phone for myself,

Hello FC community, Although our Caramel2 boards are not in the state of final assembly yet, I do have a picture of a partially assembled C2 board which I can share: https://www.freecalypso.org/members/falcon/Caramel2/c2-partially-assembled.jpeg On this partially assembled board the Tango

FreeCalypso update

Hello FreeCalypso community, I got a little bit of news on FC hardware: our Caramel2 boards have cleared the first assembly stage and are ready to enter the second and final assembly stage in which they will be outfitted with Tango modules and the necessary RF plumbing. At the present moment it

Hello Mychaela, What you've just achieved is very very cool! That means that the GTA02 and possibly other targets (C139?) can be used without source code blobs for voice and SMS calls, which is excellent :-) And since the firmware has a full GSM stack, that means the phone will be completely

Another FreeCalypso update

Hello FC community, I have several exciting news regarding the firmware side of FreeCalypso: * I have found the bug that was causing voice calls in AMR mode to break - it was not in L1 or in the DSP or any other place we thought of before; instead it was a fallout from TI's addition of A5/3

FreeCalypso update

Hello FreeCalypso community, As you can probably tell from me having been mostly inactive over the past 3-4 months, I've been away from the FreeCalypso project, dealing with a bunch of personal life issues, but I've been really missing the fun of our project, and I am now getting back into it -

Re: FreeCalypso update: progress with DSP patches and voice calls

Hi, After more testing, it seems (apart from the AMR bug and the deep sleep bug) that leo2moko sets up a kind of filtering for the audio itself - when using it, the audio is quite clear, however when using gsm-fw I get this background noise that seems to come from nearby interference, such as GSM

Re: FreeCalypso update: progress with DSP patches and voice calls

Thank you David and DS for your feedback. Regarding the direction our project should take, I'll write more about it later when I'm more awake - it's close to bedtime for me now. :) But let me just address a few quick technical points: > I will try your suggestion of testing with only FR speech

Re: FreeCalypso update: progress with DSP patches and voice calls

Hi Mychaela, Congratulations on your breakthrough re/ the DSP corruption bug! I will try your suggestion of testing with only FR speech codec, it will be a quick test. By the way, how do you load this ALSA scenario on the AP? I think you are right regarding the LoCosto L1 code: it is quite

FreeCalypso update: progress with DSP patches and voice calls

Hello everyone, It has been almost a month and a half since my last update here, so I thought I would let everyone know that I am still alive and kickin'. I have just tracked down and fixed the bug that kept us from being able to load the static DSP patch from TCS211, and thereby brought us one
