It is compatible with our own gsm-fw - and with tcs211-c139. - -ffstools Here you will find tools for "in vitro" examination of FFS - (flash file system) images read out of TI-based GSM devices. - See doc/TIFFS-Overview for more information. +This source repository has been retired and will not receive any further +development; it is kept around only to preserve history. Further development +of software components contained in this repository has been moved to two new +repositories: -gsm-fw Our Calypso GSM firmware reconstruction and reintegration - attempt lives here; see doc/Firmware_Architecture and - doc/Firmware_Status for more information. - -loadtools These tools allow you to load your own code into Calypso GSM - devices. Using these tools, you can load code into target - device IRAM or XRAM and run it there, as well as dump and load - flash. The operation of these tools is based on gaining - control of the target device either through the Calypso on-chip - boot ROM (on freedom-enabled devices), or through the - flash-resident boot code on the crippled Compal phones. - -lcdemu fc-lcdemu is built here. - -miscutil fc-rgbconv, fc-serterm and imei-luhn are built here. +gcc-built experimental GSM firmware (gsm-fw): -rvinterf In common with TI's original fw, FreeCalypso GSM fw implements - the so-called RiViera serial MUX, which is a binary packet - protocol for multiplexing many kinds of debug and development - traffic over just one available physical serial port. This - rvinterf directory contains our suite of tools for connecting - to this RV serial interface, supporting both our own gsm-fw as - well as some existing proprietary firmwares to the extent to - which they are compatible. - -target-utils This tree contains code that runs on Calypso targets, but is - not regular firmware (gsm-fw) or a part thereof. The two key - components built in this tree are loadagent (needed for all - targets) and compalstage (for Compal phones only), which need - to be installed on the user's host system in order for - loadtools (see above) to do their job. + Now called FreeCalypso Citrine and maintained in the + freecalypso-citrine repository. -toolchain Scripts and patches for building the gcc+binutils toolchain - targeting ARM7, the CPU core of the Calypso GSM/GPRS baseband - processor. You'll need to build and install this toolchain - first before you can build gsm-fw or target-utils. - -Website and mailing list -======================== +FreeCalypso host tools and target-utils: -Please see our website at www.freecalypso.org for information on: - -* The overall FreeCalypso libre phone project, beyond this specific sw/fw - subproject; - -* Our community mailing list and how you can subscribe to it; - -* How you can help the human family behind the project with donations and how - you can accelerate the progress of our project by funding it. + Moved to freecalypso-tools repository.
