5 | 18 | laforge | This page will describe the entire installation process of OpenBSC under GNU/Linux. |
6 | 4 | ||
7 | 18 | laforge | This tutorial is based on Debian Netinstall 5.0 but will work more or less the same with other GNU/Linux |
8 | distributions. |

11 | |||
12 | 15 | laforge | ==== Dependencies ==== |
13 | |||
14 | 17 | laforge | Installing software that OpenBSC depends upon is distribution-dependent. On Debian (or Debian-derived) systems, |
15 | you should install the following Debian packages before you start: |
||
16 | 14 | laforge | * libdbi0 |
17 | * libdbi0-dev |
||
18 | * libdbd-sqlite3 |
||
19 | * autoconf |
||
20 | * git-core |
||
21 | 1 | (The list may be incomplete) |
|
22 | |||
23 | 17 | laforge | On Debian, you can install those packages with |
24 | {{{ |
||
25 | apt-get install libdbi0-dev libdbd-sqlite3 autoconf git-core |
||
26 | }}} |
||
27 | 1 | ||
28 | ==== Building libosmocore ==== |
||
29 | 17 | laforge | * Check out libosmocore from git using |
30 | {{{ |
||
31 | git clone git://git.osmocom.org/libosmocore.git |
||
32 | }}} |
||
33 | * Change into the right directory using |
||
34 | {{{ |
||
35 | cd libosmocore |
||
36 | }}} |
||
37 | * Rebuild the configure script using |
||
38 | {{{ |
||
39 | autoreconf -i |
||
40 | }}} |
||
41 | * Run the configure script using |
||
42 | {{{ |
||
43 | ./configure |
||
44 | }}} |
||
45 | * Build the actual software using |
||
46 | {{{ |
||
47 | make |
||
48 | }}} |
||
49 | * Install the library by using |
||
50 | {{{ |
||
51 | make install |
||
52 | }}} |
||
53 | 1 | ||
54 | ==== Building OpenBSC ==== |
||
55 | 17 | laforge | * Check out OpenBSC from git using |
56 | {{{ |
||
57 | git clone git://bs11-abis.gnumonks.org/openbsc.git |
||
58 | }}} |
||
59 | * Change into the right directory using |
||
60 | {{{ |
||
61 | cd openbsc/openbsc |
||
62 | }}} |
||
63 | * Rebuild the configure script using |
||
64 | {{{ |
||
65 | autoreconf -i |
||
66 | }}} |
||
67 | * Run the configure script using |
||
68 | {{{ |
||
69 | ./configure |
||
70 | }}} |
||
71 | * Build the actual software using |
||
72 | {{{ |
||
73 | make |
||
74 | }}} |
||
75 | 1 | ||
76 | Congratulations, you should now have the OpenBSC programs like ''bsc_hack'', ''ipaccess-config'' and others in the 'src/' subdirectory. |
||
77 | |||
78 | ==== mISDN enabled kernel in case of BS-11 ==== |
||
79 | |||
80 | If you want to use a E1-based BTS (like the BS-11), you will need to install mISDN. |
||
81 | |||
82 | '''If you have an IP/Ethernet based BTS (like the ip.access nanoBTS), you don't need this section!''' |
||
83 | |||
84 | Because OpenBSC's E1 support relies on mISDN (named ISDN4Linux before) and hfcmulti as an interface to the BS11, it has to be integrated as a module into the kernel. |
||
85 | |||
86 | First of all you will need to download the 2.6.31 Linux kernel from [http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/]. |
||
87 | 3 | ||
88 | 1 | Change to '''/usr/src/''' on your OpenBSC machine. |
|
89 | 17 | laforge | Then simply do a {{{wget [http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.31.tar.bz2]}}} |
90 | 1 | ||
91 | 17 | laforge | Unpack the archive: |
92 | 1 | {{{ |
|
93 | 17 | laforge | tar --bzip2 -xvf linux-2.6.31.tar.bz2 |
94 | }}} |
||
95 | and create a symlink to fit the Linux standard conventions: |
||
96 | {{{ |
||
97 | ln -s linux-2.6.30 linux |
||
98 | 18 | laforge | }}} |
99 | 1 | ||
100 | 17 | laforge | Now change to linux-2.6.30 typing |
101 | {{{ |
||
102 | cd linux-2.6.30 |
||
103 | }}} |
||
104 | 1 | ||
105 | You are ready now to prepare for the main part: |
||
106 | |||
107 | Install some tools needed to build the kernel. |
||
108 | |||
109 | 17 | laforge | {{{ |
110 | apt-get install libncurses5-dev kernel-package |
||
111 | }}} |
||
112 | 1 | ||
113 | 17 | laforge | Now configure the kernel modules with |
114 | {{{ |
||
115 | make menuconfig |
||
116 | }}} |
||
117 | 11 | laforge | |
118 | 17 | laforge | Include the ''mISDN'' modules and ''hfcmulti / hfc e1 drivers''. |
119 | 11 | laforge | |
120 | 3 | Save the new configuration to '''.config''' . |
|
121 | 1 | ||
122 | 17 | laforge | You can now try to build the Debian kernel package: |
123 | {{{ |
||
124 | make-kpkg linux-image --initrd --revision=openbsc01.0 |
||
125 | }}} |
||
126 | 14 | laforge | |
127 | 17 | laforge | Go a directory higher |
128 | {{{ |
||
129 | cd .. |
||
130 | }}} |
||
131 | 11 | laforge | |
132 | and install the new kernel package typing: |
||
133 | |||
134 | 17 | laforge | {{{ |
135 | dpkg -i kernelpackagename.deb |
||
136 | }}} |
||
137 | 11 | laforge | |
138 | 1 | Now you only have to add the dslot=1 parameter for hfcmulti to load with this parameter. |
|
139 | Otherwise OpenBSC will talk on signalling timeslot 15 where BS11 uses 1. |
||
140 | |||
141 | Simply add the following in '''/boot/grub/menu.lst''' : |
||
142 | |||
143 | Add this line to the "Kernel"-line |
||
144 | |||
145 | '''hfcmulti.dslot=1''' |
||
146 | |||
147 | Save changes and reboot your machine with your new kernel. |
