This page is dedicated to the Hardware for Osmocom [[SIMtrace]], which looks like this:

h2. Connectors
14 1 laforge
15
16 31 tsaitgaist
* USB: USB mini-B connector. The main connector. The host software communicates (sniffing,...) through USB with the board. It can also be used to flash the micro-controller (using DFU).
17
* serial: 2.5 mm jack serial cable, as used by osmocomBB. port used to debug the device (printf goes there).
18
* debug (P2): same as serial, but using the FTDI serial cable. *It is recommended to cut the voltage wire of the 6pin FTDI connector before plugging the cable into the simtrace.*
19
* jtag (P1): JTAG 20 pin connector to do hardware assisted debugging.
20
* BT1: battery connector (4.5-6V DC). normally the USB provides power, but the battery port can be used for autonomous use of SIMtrace. The sniffed data can be saved in the flash (U1).
21
* FFC_SIM (P3): to connect the flat flexible cable with SIM end for the phone.
22
* SIM (P4): put your SIM in there (instead of in the phone)
23
* reset (SW1): to reset the board (not erasing the firmware). If your are too lazy to unplug and re-plug the USB.
24
* bootloader (SW2): used to start the bootloader to flash the device using DFU. press when plugging in the USB.
25
* test (JP1): short circuit using a jumper to flash using [[SIMtraceFirmware#EnteringtheSAM-BAmode|SAM-BA]].
26
* erase (JP2): short circuit using a jumper to completely erase the firmware.

h2. Schematics, Gerber & Co
30
31
32 2 laforge
The schematics, Gerber files, etc. can be found in the 'hardware' subdirectory of the simtrace.git repository:
33 31 tsaitgaist
* http://cgit.osmocom.org/cgit/simtrace/tree/hardware (web browsing)
34
* git://git.osmocom.org/simtrace (git clone URL)
35 15 laforge
36
We're using Kicad as EDA tool.  Most of the work on the schematics and Gerber files has been done by Kevin Redon,
37
based on the original design by Harald Welte.

The latest schematics are also available as an attachment to this page.

h2. Interconnections
43
44
45 1 laforge
The hardware schematics are very, very simple:
46
47 31 tsaitgaist
* Connect SIM-RST with PA7
48
* Connect SIM-I/O with PA6(TXD0) and PA1(TIOB0)
49
* Connect SIM-CLK with PA2(SCK0) and PA4(TCLK0)
50
* Connect SIM-GND with GND

h2. Mode of operation
54
55
56 25 laforge
The USART of the AT91SAM7S is capable of T=0. The documentation only mentions it in clock-master mode, like you
57
would run it in a smart card reader to actively talk to a smart card. However, by using the USART input clock multiplexer,
58
you can use an externally-generated CLK like the one from the SIM card socket of the phone.
59
60
Unfortunately, the Rx Timeout feature of the USART is not working in T=0 mode, so I had to re-implement Rx timeout (waiting time)
61
handling by means of the TC (timer/counter) block 0.  Due to technical limitations, we will wait up to one byte (12 etu) more
62 1 laforge
than we should.

h2. Modi
66
67
68 1 laforge
SIMtrace has the possibility to work as:
69 31 tsaitgaist
* sniffer
70
* card reader
71
* card emulator
72
* man-in-the-middle
73 1 laforge
74
The SAM7S offers 2 T=0 capable USART ports.
75
One is connected to the phone (PA21-PA27), the other to the SIM (PA1-PA7).
76 31 tsaitgaist
The lines goes from the phone to the SIM through a bus switch (IC4="CB3Q3244":http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/sn74cb3q3244.pdf).
77 1 laforge
The bus switch offer 2 buses of 4 lines:
78 31 tsaitgaist
* The first is used to forward RST, CLK, and VPP (between the SIM and the phone). It is controlled by SC_SW (PA20)
79
* The second is used to forward I/O (between the SIM and the phone). It is controlled by SC_I/O (PA19)
80 1 laforge
81
The various modi require to interrupt different lines:
82
83
|| SW_SC (PA20) || SC_I/O (PA19) || description || modus ||
84
|| L || L || phone and SIM directly connected || sniffer (use any USART port) ||
85
|| L || H || only I/O interrupted || MitM (use both USART port) ||
86
|| H || H || phone and SIM not connected || card read, emulator (use each USART port) ||
87
88
As of 2012-01-12, only the sniffer is implemented
89
90
SIM cards support various classes (voltage levels): class A = 5.0V, class B = 3.0V, class C = 1.8V.
91
SIMtrace v1.x only supports class B (3.0V), which all actual SIM cards and phone also support.
92
To ensure class B is used, SIMtrace forces 3.3V (within the 3.0V±10% spec) by holding the VCC line at this voltage.
93
SIMtrace v2 will support all 3 classes.

101
h3. v2.0
102
103
104 1 laforge
This is on going (stalled) work.
105 30 tsaitgaist
The changes compared to v1.x are:
106 31 tsaitgaist
* ID-1 and ID-000 smart card slots (with presence detection): so to be able to also sniff credit card sized smart cards
107
* through hole USB Mini-B and Serial/Jack 2.5 connector: to be more robust
108
* properly support all smart card classes (A,B,C): better compatibility
109
* switch from AT91SAM7S to AT91SAM3S: it has more USB endpoints
110
* be able to forward voltage from phone to SIM or provide voltage from the board: ideal sniffer and reader
111
* use an microSD slot instead of built-on flash: easier data transfer
112
* a SWP sniffer (maybe)
113 30 tsaitgaist

115 31 tsaitgaist
h3. v1.3
116
117
118 1 laforge
[[Image(simtrace_v13_front.jpg, 33%)]]
119 30 tsaitgaist
120 1 laforge
Changes:
121 31 tsaitgaist
* added a FPF2109 power switch
122
* added a zener diode on LDO to SIM to provide ~3.0V to SIM (closer to ISO 7812 specified class B)
123
* it is now possible to choose the power source for the SIM card: provided by the SIMtrace on-board LDO, or forwarded from the phone
124
* no production customizations required
125
* silkscreen redone (sadly missing on the produced batch)
126 1 laforge
127 31 tsaitgaist
*BUG:* because of this new feature (selecting power source for the SIM), we wanted to be able to identify the v1.3 board.
128 1 laforge
To do that, we tied PA0 to ground. But this needs to be HIGH for the AT91SAM7S to be able to enter it's SAM-BA mode (for flashing the first time).
129
If you produce the board yourself, you have to cut the path between the left upper pin and the capacitor.
130 31 tsaitgaist
The version is now written in flash. To flash the firmware the first time (only), follow the dedicated [[ProductionFlashingV13|instructions]].

adaptation of the v1.1p because of component availability for new batch.
143 1 laforge
144
Changes:
145 31 tsaitgaist
* capacitor is even nearer to the LDO
146
* one diode slightly changed place
147
* quartz crystal is smaller (footprint still fits)
148
* SIM slot is another (not available from Amphenol anymore). No presence switch.

This is a slightly corrected version of the v1.0p.
161
162
Changes:
163 31 tsaitgaist
* a critical capacitor is near the LDO
164
* some other capacitors are nearer to the CPU
165
* some power traces are wider
166
* the SIM C6/VPP contact is also routed through the bus switch (sometimes used for Single Wire Protocol)
167
* sysmocom is added in the copper for legal reasons
168
* the FTDI Vcc is cut

This is identical to v1.0 on the schematics side, we simply altered the footprints of some components to accommodate
182
whatever the SMT factory had in stock.  Specifically the LED are 0805 instead of 0603, and the shottky diodes are
183 7 laforge
in a slightly awkward looking very large package.

209
units around June 14, 2011.

Never really was an official release.  However, a friend took the unfinished Gerber files and built 5 units.
221
222
Since the Gerber was not finished, we had to do lots and lots of re-work in order to make them work at all.
