However, this +special Calypso mode of operation works in an unusual way: instead of invoking +fc-simtool (or fc-uicc-tool) directly, you have to run a front end program +called fc-simint. fc-simint loads and runs simagent on the Calypso device the +same way how fc-loadtool loads and runs loadagent, then it passes the open file +descriptor to fc-simtool via the special internal-use-only -C option. + +fc-simint and its simagent back end reside in the FreeCalypso host tools +package, not in FC SIM tools. As of this writing, a packaged release of FC +host tools with fc-simint and simagent.srec included has not been produced yet. +A new fc-host-tools-r15 release is planned for the near future; if you need to +use the new feature right now and can't wait for the upcoming release, you will +need to get the current code from the Hg repository: + +https://www.freecalypso.org/hg/freecalypso-tools/ + +Please beware that if you are not able to wait for the upcoming release, you +will have to install the special ARM7 gcc toolchain and compile simagent +(Calypso target code piece) from source.
