= Welcome to the OsmocomBB project =
3 1
4 23 laforge
OsmocomBB is an Open Source / Free Software GSM Baseband software implementation.
5
6
It intends to completely replace the need for a proprietary GSM baseband software, such as
7
 * drivers for the GSM analog and digital baseband (integrated and external) peripherals
8
 * the GSM phone-side protocol stack, from layer 1 up to layer 3
9
10
In short: By using [wiki:OsmocomBB] on a compatible phone, you should eventually be able
11
to make and receive phone calls, send and receive SMS, etc. based on Free Software only.
12
13
At the moment we are in an early but still very promising stage of the project.  Most work
14
is still being done at Layer1 of the protocol, but there is quick progress!
15
16
This is the project page about our experiments (so far) only with phones based on the Ti [wiki:Calypso]/[wiki:Iota]/[wiki:Rita] 
17 32 laforge
GSM baseband chipset.  The main target is the [wiki:MotorolaC123]. For more supported phones, check below.
18 8 laforge
19
We originally intended to build an inexpensive GSM experimentation board built with/around that chipset, but right now
20 15 laforge
are pursuing a slightly alternative course by using cheap off-the-shelf feature phones and write custom software for it.
