PageOutline = Welcome to the OsmocomBB project =

OsmocomBB is an Open Source / Free Software GSM Baseband software implementation.

It intends to completely replace the need for a proprietary GSM baseband software, such as * drivers for the GSM analog and digital baseband (integrated and external) peripherals * the GSM phone-side protocol stack, from layer 1 up to layer 3

In short: By using [wiki:OsmocomBB] on a compatible phone, you should eventually be able
to make and receive phone calls, send and receive SMS, etc. based on Free Software only.

At the moment we are in an early but still very promising stage of the project. Most work
is still being done at Layer1 of the protocol, but there is quick progress!

This is the project page about our experiments (so far) only with phones based on the Ti [wiki:Calypso]/[wiki:Iota]/[wiki:Rita]
GSM baseband chipset. The main target is the [wiki:MotorolaC123]. For more supported phones, check below.

We originally intended to build an inexpensive GSM experimentation board built with/around that chipset, but right now
are pursuing a slightly alternative course by using cheap off-the-shelf feature phones and write custom software for it. * The [wiki:ProjectRationale] * The big [wiki:MasterPlan] * [wiki:AreasOfWork] -- What needs to be done and who wants to do it * Information about the [wiki:TypicalCalypsoModemDesign] * [wiki:Calypso] -- The HERCOM digital baseband chip (DSP+ARM7) * [wiki:CalypsoDSP] -- The DSP inside the Calypso DBB * [wiki:Iota] -- The TWL3025 analog baseband chip (ADC/DAC) * [wiki:Rita] -- The TRF6151C GSM transceiver (VCO, up/down-conversion) * Old/obsolete plan/spec of the [wiki:GsmDevelBoard] (note: This project is on hold right now! * Description of our own GSM Stack * [wiki:L1A_L23_Interface] -- How the Layer1 interfaces with Layer2 and Layer3 of the stack * Notes on the [wiki:TSM30Layer1 TSM30 Layer1] as it can be found in the TSM30 source * [wiki:Glossary] -- The weird terms used in the phone baseband world * [wiki:LegalAspects] -- Important legal aspects of this project * [wiki:People] -- The people behind the project

Mailing List

Software
Documentation about software developed by this project.

All source code is kept in the git repository at '''git://git.osmocom.org/osmocom-bb.git'''

=== Host programs (running on the PC) === * [wiki:osmocon] -- A tool for Compal phones; to load code into RAM and execute it * [wiki:calypso_pll] -- A tool to calculate Calypso DPLL multiplier+divider * [wiki:rita_pll] -- A tool to calculate the Rita PLL multiplier/divider * [wiki:layer2] -- An implementation of GSM Layer2 and upwards.

=== Target programs (running on the phone baseband chip) === * [wiki:firmware] -- The current staging/testing code base for our own software on the Calypso. From it we build a number of apps: * [wiki:hello_world.bin] -- An actual 'hello world' application for LCD and serial port * [wiki:compal_dump.bin] -- A program to dump the internal NOR flash of a Motorola/Compal phone * [wiki:compal_dsp_dump.bin] -- A program to dump the ROM of the DSP inside the [wiki:Calypso] * [wiki:l1test.bin] -- An example program for testing and developing the GSM Layer1

Supported Phone hardware
Information specific to certain Calypso based phones that we support * Designed + Manufactured by Compal, OEM by Motorola * [wiki:MotorolaC115]/C117 (E87) * [wiki:MotorolaC123]/C121/C118 (E88) -- our primary target * [wiki:MotorolaC140]/C139 (E86) * [wiki:MotorolaC155] (E99) -- our secondary target * [wiki:SonyEricssonJ100i] === Accessories ===
