General description¶
This is a library containing common/shared code regarding the A-bis interface between BTS and BSC.
It implements drivers for mISDN and DAHDI based E1 cards, as well as some A-bis/IP dialects.
Preconditions¶
To compile libosmo-abis you will need the following tools:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool libortp-dev dahdi-source libsctp-dev shtool autoconf automake git-core pkg-config make gcc
Obtaining it¶
To obtain libosmo-abis, you can use the following git URL:
git clone https://gitea.osmocom.org/osmocom/libosmo-abis.git
Compiling and installing it¶
To compile and install it as standalone:
cd libosmo-abis/ autoreconf -i ./configure make sudo make install sudo ldconfig -i cd ..
Licensing¶
This library is GPL licensed. This means you *cannot use this library from non-GPL licensed code without infringing copyright!
Browsing its source code¶
You can do that using our gitea installation at https://gitea.osmocom.org/osmocom/libosmo-abis
Input Drivers¶
There are currently the following input drivers available:
misdn¶
This input driver supports the mISDN code as it is present in mainline linux-2.6 kernels.
It uses the in-kernel LAPD implementation, and is thus bound to some restrictions. Specifically,
you can only have one signalling timeslot (D-channel) in every E1 line, which may cause problems
with multi-BTS or multi-TRX setups (particularly in the case of Nokia A-bis)
You have to configure which E1 timeslot is to be used for signalling by module parameters, e.g.
modprobe hfcmulti dslot=1
will configure TS1 as signalling.
misdn_lapd¶
This input driver supports the mISDN code as it is present in mainline linux-2.6 kernels.
However, unlike the "misdn" driver, it runs LAPD in userspace, as part of libosmo-abis.
In order to be able to use it, you will need to make sure the mISDN kernel driver does not
configure any timeslot to signalling, e.g.
modprobe hfcmulti dslot=-1
(notice the "-" in front of 1 to indicate "no signalling timeslot").
dahdi¶
This driver supports the DAHDI (formerly known as zaptel) out-of-tree drivers for e.g.
the various Digium and Digium compatible E1/T1/J1 cards.
ipa¶
This implements A-bis over IP, as implemented by ip.access nanoBTS as well as all BTSs running OsmoBTS.
hsl¶
Experimental driver for support of the [HSL_Femto]
e1d¶
This driver supports osmo-e1d, the software-defined E1 inplementation of Osmocom.
osmo-e1d in turn supports the Osmocom open hardware ICE40 FPGA core, as well as virtual E1 loops for testing (vpair).
You must build with ./configure --enable-e1d
to support this driver
Commercial Support¶
Commercial support as well as development, system integration and training services for this project are available from sysmocom
