Description

Running newest versions of LimeSuite, osmo-nitb, osmo-bts-trx, osmo-trx-lms, osmo-pcu, osmo-sgsn, and osmo-ggsn on a LimeSDR-USB. GSM capabilities work as normal, but once osmo-bts-trx connects to osmo-pcu the bts outputs:

over and over again (with some payload data in between). The SGSN and GGSN server don't appear to be receiving any packets and the phone does not have data.

I'm using the default .cfg files provided by myriadrf and have set all the necessary iptables rules for forwarding traffic through the GGSN tunnel.

Hi @rlehm,

could you please test with the recent versions?

I while ago I've merged a patch for OsmoBTS that disables burst substituting on PDCH time-slots. This is not really needed (and moreover was not implemented properly).

Closing due to the lack of feedback. I am pretty sure the problem has been fixed. Please reopen otherwise.
