| 1 fc-simtool can operate on SIM cards that sit inside a Calypso phone or FC | |
| 2 development board, as opposed to the more classic case of operating on a SIM | |
| 3 inserted into a dedicated card reading/programming station. However, this | |
| 4 special Calypso mode of operation works in an unusual way: instead of invoking | |
| 5 fc-simtool (or fc-uicc-tool) directly, you have to run a front end program | |
| 6 called fc-simint. fc-simint loads and runs simagent on the Calypso device the | |
| 7 same way how fc-loadtool loads and runs loadagent, then it passes the open file | |
| 8 descriptor to fc-simtool via the special internal-use-only -C option. | |
| 9 | |
| 10 fc-simint and its simagent back end reside in the FreeCalypso host tools | |
| 11 package, not in FC SIM tools. As of this writing, a packaged release of FC | |
| 12 host tools with fc-simint and simagent.srec included has not been produced yet. | |
| 13 A new fc-host-tools-r15 release is planned for the near future; if you need to | |
| 14 use the new feature right now and can't wait for the upcoming release, you will | |
| 15 need to get the current code from the Hg repository: | |

| 18 | |
| 19 Please beware that if you are not able to wait for the upcoming release, you | |
| 20 will have to install the special ARM7 gcc toolchain and compile simagent | |
| 21 (Calypso target code piece) from source. |
