Changes from fc-host-tools-r20 to fc-host-tools-r21: * fc-loadtool flash support improvements: + Intel flash: we now support all Intel C3, W30 and W18 family flash chips in the size range from 2 to 8 MiB. Our previous support for these Intel flash families had some gaps; one of previously unsupported chips is 28F320W18T, used in Sony Ericsson J120 phones. + Spansion and Samsung flash: added support for examining and manipulating sector write-protection state, see doc/Flash-write-protection article. * Changes to -h targets for loadtools: + -h gta02 target, marked as deprecated since fc-host-tools-r12, has been removed; please use -h fic instead. + -h w220 (flash and XRAM wiring specific to Chi-Mei phones) renamed to -h chimei, now also appropriate for SE J120 and likely other Chi-Mei phones yet to be discovered. * Added Installed-binaries listing file to the source distribution, in accordance with new FC-family-wide guidelines: https://www.freecalypso.org/hg/freecalypso-docs/file/tip/Install-location Changes from fc-host-tools-r19 to fc-host-tools-r20: * fcup-smsend and fcup-smsendmult support a new option for entering message body text with backslash escapes for "weird" characters - see doc/User-phone-tools for the details. * sms-pdu-decode utility got a new option for use cases outside of GSM 07.05 applications. When SMS PDUs are exchanged over the AT command interface per GSM 07.05, each hex PDU begins with an SC address field, followed by the GSM 03.40 TPDU; the same holds for SMS PDUs stored on the SIM in EF_SMS. In its original and default operation mode, sms-pdu-decode expects this SC address field to be present at the beginning of each hex PDU it processes. However, when invoked with -n option, sms-pdu-decode expects each hex PDU in its input to be a pure GSM 03.40 TPDU, without SC address prefix. This new mode is not expected to be particularly useful on the mobile side of GSM, but it is useful for development and testing of network-side SMSC software and associated utilities. * Minor bugfixes in the same fcup-smsend[mult] and sms-pdu-decode utilities, plus a new-compiler-affecting bugfix in fc-imy2pwt. Changes from fc-host-tools-r18 to fc-host-tools-r19: * loadtools: new -Petmoff option for empowered users on the Pirelli DP-L10 target, see the new doc/Pirelli-loadtools-entry article. * rvinterf suite: + The maximum accepted size for RVTMUX packets from target firmwares increased from 512 to 1600 bytes. The old limit was exceeded when tracing primitive exchanges between RR and ALR components of G23M PS; the new limit should be sufficient for standard TCS211 and FreeCalypso fw. + Logging changes: see the new doc/Rvinterf-logs article. Changes from fc-host-tools-r17 to fc-host-tools-r18: * fc-loadtool: added support for Samsung K5L29xxCAM flash, which is Samsung's equivalent of Spansion S71PL129J. This flash chip has been found in some Sony Ericsson K200/220 phones. * tiffs and fc-fsio: added provisions to support (or at least fail more gracefully in the presence of) the non-standard filename extension to TIFFS that occurs in the FFS of SE K200/220 phones, as described in the new doc/SE-K2x0-FFS article. * Changes for the newly resurrected TCH tap feature: + fc-shell tch record facility now accepts both the old DL bits format sent by FC Citrine firmware and the new format sent by current FC Tourmaline fw; when the new DL bits format is received, the line-based ASCII output also exhibits a new extended format. + New fc-efr2tch utility is the EFR counterpart to unchanged fc-fr2tch. + doc/TCH-bit-access article updated for the new environment that includes not only the small-ish changes above, but also new FC Tourmaline firmware and the new GSM codec libraries & utilities package. * New fc-vm2gsmx utility and accompanying doc/Voice-memo-utils article. * rvinterf log output verbosity change: TCH packets are now elided from the output by default, replaced by a count of how many were sent and received; the new -v option turns on verbose mode in which every such packet is dumped in hex like before. Changes from fc-host-tools-r16 to fc-host-tools-r17: * New utilities have been added for working with FreeCalypso PWT melodies, to be played via the buzzer on those FC phones and development boards that are equipped with such - see doc/Buzzer-melodies article for further details. The new utilities are: + fc-pwt-comp compiles PWT buzzer melodies from our ASCII source format (same as for fc-buzplay) into the binary format read by the new BUZM melody player engine in FC Tourmaline firmware. + fc-imy2pwt converts user/community/Internet-sourced monophonic ringtone melodies from iMelody interchange format to our ASCII PWT format, i.e., the format to be fed to fc-pwt-comp. + fc-ringlist-comp compiles melody lists into the binary format that will be read by our phone UI firmware at a later stage of integration. + fc-meltest-pwt plays a single PWT melody (read from ASCII source file) on a running FreeCalypso phone or devboard, accessed via rvinterf. fc-meltest-e1 does the same for E1 melodies, playing in the currently active voice path. + fc-imyplay plays a single IMY melody on a running FC phone or devboard, accessed via rvinterf. It is like fc-meltest-pwt, but with the additional step of fc-imy2pwt included. * fc-buzplay: the basic 'play' command now plays both BU and PWT melodies, if the filename ends in .buz or .pwt, respectively. Explicit play-bu and play-pwt (replacing the old 'playt') commands are also provided. * New l1trace-filter program connects to rvinterf as a client and displays only certain filtered L1 traces; it was written for the purpose of isolating specific traces of interest out of the noise. * New fc-add-ramps program reads a table of Tx ramp templates (in FreeCalypso RF table ASCII format), adds up each ramp and reports the resulting sums. This program is an aid for engineers working on RF Tx tract tuning. * A special reverse engineering command named tfc139-audio-dump has been added to fc-loadtool; this hack command does anything interesting only when fc-loadtool has been entered through tfc139 (breaking into a running Compal firmware), in which case it will dump some audio settings (DSP API words and Iota ABB registers) which should persist from the official firmware that has been broken into. * lunadrv target utility (FreeCalypso LCD testing) got a new reset-suspend command for testing the scenario of entering lowest-power suspend mode directly out of reset, without any functional initialization. Changes from fc-host-tools-r15 to fc-host-tools-r16: * tiaud-compile and tiaud-decomp now support two versions of the audio mode binary file format: the original one which we inherited from Openmoko (L1_NEW_AEC disabled) and the new one used in FC Tourmaline, with L1_NEW_AEC enabled. See doc/Audio-mode-config article for further details. * fc-tmsync command additions: + New aur and aur-all commands are documented in the doc/Audio-mode-config article. + mpr command works like in fc-tmsh, but also accepts the longer responses (extra 2 bytes) returned by Pirelli's fw. + madc command uses the mpr operation to read all 8 MADC channels, with sensible choices of raw or converted reading and decimal or hex display. * fc-tmsh got new commands rvf-dump, pwr-key and phone-on, sending commands that are encoded via the ETM debug opcode. On the target firmware side, rvf-dump is an original TCS211 command, whereas pwr-key and phone-on are FreeCalypso Tourmaline additions. * Added support for FC Tourmaline battery simulation (BSIM) mode: + fc-fsio write-bsim-config command writes the /etc/batterysim file that enables and configures BSIM mode. + fc-tmsh bsim family of commands send ETM_BSIM command packets to the target, driving simulated battery charging and discharging events. * buzplayer target utility and fc-buzplay front end now support both BU and PWT modes of operating the Calypso buzzer, including support for both BU and PWT melodies in fc-buzplay. See the new doc/Buzzer-melodies article for more information. * lunadrv target utility (FC Luna LCD hardware exercising): + New init-kwh command initializes ILI9225G controller registers with the official settings for KWH020ST23-F01 LCD module, as prescribed by module manufacturer Formike. The only difference from HT020K1QC36S initialization (init-ht command) is one register setting: VCOMH. + New suspend and resume commands enter and exit ILI9225G sleep mode. Changes from fc-host-tools-r14 to fc-host-tools-r15: * New fc-simint host program and its associated simagent target back end work together with fc-simtool (separate FC SIM tools package), allowing the latter to operate on SIM cards inside Calypso phones and development boards. See the new doc/SIM-manipulation article for the details. * pcm-sms-decode and sms-pdu-decode now emit backslash escapes instead of '?' error markers when the message body contains non-displayable characters, allowing the user to see the full message content, good or bad. * pcm-sms-decode allows a new -s option to number decoded records as 1..N instead of 0..N-1. * fcup-smdump: if the output contains Phonebook-Name lines (if the AT command modem reported a phonebook name along with the message in the +CMGL response), these phonebook names are now emitted as quoted strings with the same possible backslash escapes as defined in the SIM-data-formats specification in the freecalypso-docs repository. * Documentation: new doc/Nonfree-phones-user-data article explains how to use fc-simint and pcm-sms-decode to retrieve user data (phonebooks and SMS) from phones that have not been fully liberated yet. Changes from fc-host-tools-r13 to fc-host-tools-r14: * fc-loadtool got new commands for reading the OTP protection register of Intel-style flash chips; this OTP protection register holds the factory IMEI on Compal phones. * fc-iram second program invokation mode fix: options for the second program are no longer misinterpreted as fc-iram options. * rvinterf -b writes the PID of the backgrounded process into /tmp/rvinterf.pid; see doc/Rvinterf-tools article for the explanation. * New support for target boot control via DTR and RTS modem control outputs as implemented on our new DUART28 adapter - see doc/DUART28-boot-control. * New make-imeisv utility is an aid for shell scripts that need to construct a 16-digit IMEISV from a 15-digit traditional IMEI, including Luhn check digit verification. * ADC calibration table /sys/adccal is now supported much like various RF parameter tables: it can be decoded from binary to our own ASCII format with fc-bin2rftab, it can be compiled back into binary with fc-cal2bin, and it can be uploaded with fc-fsio upload-rf-table. * Tiffs IVA (In Vitro Analyzer) new features, see doc/TIFFS-IVA-usage for more details: + New tiffs decode facility allows single-command extraction and decoding of RF parameter tables and some other FFS files for which tiffs cat -h is insufficient. + New tiffs-8m convenience wrapper for examining FFS images read out of Tango modules. * New tiffs-mkfs utility can generate TIFFS images completely from scratch "in vitro", containing initial directory and file content given by a Unix directory and file tree on the host system. The resulting image can then be flashed into a Calypso GSM device running FreeCalypso firmware. There is also a companion utility named tiffs-mkfile that generates a few specific binary file types that go into TIFFS. * A new target-utils program named lunadrv has been added: it is a driver for FreeCalypso Luna LCD, or rather a utility that allows this LCD hardware to be exercised and tested in a standalone manner, independent of complex firmware builds with phone UI functionality. FC Luna is an LCD add-on to iWOW DSK or FC Caramel2 boards. * fc-shell got a new batt command for sending MMI_BATTERY_IND primitives to target firmwares, to be used as part of phone handset UI firmware development. * fc-fsio write-battery-table command has been replaced with new write-battery-table-v1 and write-battery-table-v2 commands. Both commands accept the new battery table ASCII source format with a third field added for battery bars icon thresholds; write-battery-table-v1 writes the original /etc/batterytab format needed for Magnetite and Selenite firmwares, whereas write-battery-table-v2 writes the new /etc/batterytab2 format needed for our new Tourmaline firmware. The corresponding back end programs are compile-fc-batt and compile-fc-batt2. * New arfcn2ti and ti2arfcn utilities convert back and forth between standard ARFCNs and TCS211 L1 radio_freq numbers - see the new doc/ARFCN-mapping article. * Documentation updates that don't involve any changes in actual code: doc/Loadtools-usage instructions for FC Tango and for new Compal targets (Mot V17x), doc/TIFFS-Overview updates for new tools including the new FFS editor (maintained externally), doc/IMEI updates for Compal IMEI discovery. Changes from fc-host-tools-r12 to fc-host-tools-r13: * fc-loadtool changes: + Memory dump commands (dump2bin and dump2srec) have been reimplemented using loadagent's new BINDUMP command, sending the dump stream from the target to the host in binary format instead of hex. This change speeds up the dump transfer time by a little over 2x. + Flash programming commands flash program-bin, program-m0 and program-srec have likewise been changed to use a new binary protocol, producing some improvement in flash programming times - see the updated doc/Loadtools-performance article. + New combined erase+program commands have been implemented: flash e-program-bin, e-program-m0 and e-program-srec. See the new doc/Flash-programming article for explanation of the intended usage. + Batch mode extended to run either a command script or a single flash command - see doc/Loadtools-usage for the details. + Scripting fix for Compal phones: flash erase-program-boot command can be put into a script followed by other commands, and the following commands will execute if the erase-program-boot operation was successful. Previously this command always stopped script execution because of an implementation quirk. * fc-xram uses the new binary protocol to transfer the user's XRAM image to the target, producing a speed increase of 3.5x to 5x for the most common use cases. Also added CRC-32 verification of the downloaded RAM regions before jumping to the downloaded image. * New version of loadagent has added support for the new binary protocols for memory dumps, flash programming and XRAM loading. * All loadtools programs: + The step of feeding the IRAM code image to the Calypso boot ROM has been sped up by about 700 ms by grouping contiguous S-record payloads into larger blocks (up to the boot ROM limit of 1014 bytes per block) instead of sending each S-record payload (30 bytes typically) as its own write command. + New -t option allows the wait for the boot ROM response to be time-limited, needed for automated (unattended) environments with target boot control. Changes from fc-host-tools-r11 to fc-host-tools-r12: * To facilitate objective comparison of loadtools performance between what the Mother sees on her Slackware reference system vs. what other users see on their different host systems, fc-loadtool now reports measured operation times for all lengthy operations: dump2bin, dump2srec and all flash programming commands. fc-xram likewise reports the measured operation time for its singular operation of transferring an XRAM image. The new doc/Loadtools-performance article explains some of the underlying theory and presents the performance numbers which you SHOULD be getting if your host system works as well as the Mother's Slackware reference. * The mystery of poor fc-loadtool and fc-xram performance on newer Linux host systems with FTDI adapters has been solved and documented in the same doc/Loadtools-performance article. * fc-loadtool changes: + Added support for Spansion S29/S71PL032J and S29/S71PL064J flash chips: these flash chips are found in some historical modem modules and may also be used in future mass-produced FreeCalypso modem products. Historical flash chip Am29DL640G is also supported as it is identical to S29PL064J for our purposes. + The implementation of flash program-m0 and program-srec commands (needed for flashing classic TI fw images with large gaps between discontiguous program regions) has been revamped, making these commands work as well as our generally preferred flash program-bin command: same performance, same progress indication, same CRC-32 verification at the end. * All loadtools programs: when feeding IRAM code images to the Calypso boot ROM, we now collect and check for the 00 04 bytes after the >p response, and we also collect the checksum byte which the boot ROM sends with its >c response. The old code which failed to collect the checksum byte after >c worked only by luck. * loadtools config: the repertoire of -h targets has been significantly cleaned up and generalized, moving away from special cases and toward more generic configurations. Please refer to the new doc/Loadtool-targets article for the details. * For operating on GTM900 modem modules, the new -h gen8 loadtools target needs to be used instead of the old -h gtm900 config which has been removed; while most GTM900 variants have 4 MiB flash chips, some have been found to contain S71PL064J (8 MiB) flash instead. * The old -h gta02 target for fc-loadtool and friends is deprecated and will be removed in the next release; please use the new -h fic target configuration instead. * The ancient provision for building the loadtools subset of FC host tools in a special configuration for running on the application processor of OM GTA02 has been removed. It has been replaced with a generalized mechanism for target boot control - see the new doc/Target-boot-control article. * mokosrec2bin default fill byte has been changed from 0x00 to 0xFF, producing binary images by default that match what would result in flash if the m0 file were to be programmed as-is. * A pair of little ad hoc programs has been been added to the FC host tools suite for the purpose of dumping the Calypso chip's internal DSP mask ROM - see doc/DSP-ROM-dump. * fc-fsio got some new commands for cleaning stale junk from FFS, typically needed when converting modems from alien manufacturers to FreeCalypso fw: + rm deletes an elementary object (file, empty directory or symlink); rm -f does the same but the case where the object to be deleted does not exist is treated as not-an-error. + rm-subtree deletes an entire subtree of directories and files starting with a given directory (equivalent of UNIX rm -r); -f option is also available like with plain rm. + cleandir removes all content of a directory (all files and subdirectories and their content), but keeps the remaining empty directory. * Added some fc-fsio command scripts (installed in /opt/freecalypso/scripts) for preening GTM900-B and GTM900-P FFS content when converting these modem modules to FreeCalypso. * New pcm-sms-decode utility can decode /pcm/SMS binary files read out of FFS maintained by certain firmwares (Pirelli DP-L10 is the prime use case), displaying the stored SMS content in human-readable form. Changes from fc-host-tools-r10 to fc-host-tools-r11: * Bugfix: the ability to override CFLAGS= from the top level (see INSTALL) has been fixed and now actually works as intended. * New developer utility fc-bin2rftab can read or extract RF parameter tables from binary files and convert them into our FreeCalypso ASCII format. * The way in which fc-loadtool handles different flash configurations has been completely redesigned; there should be no user impact on any previously supported target, but the new architecture makes it much easier to add support for new target devices and allows the possibility of different flash chip types (autodetected at run time) on the same -h target. See the new doc/Loadtool-flash-support article for the details. * fc-loadtool supports two new targets: Huawei GTM900 (-h gtm900) and Motorola W220 (-h w220). * Iota poweroff command in the target-utils suite (primarily affecting the loadagent target program used by loadtools) now programs the VRPCAUX register like TI's TCS211 firmware does before sending the DEVOFF command. This change fixes the erratic behaviour that was occurring on TI/FC development boards (D-Sample and FCDEV3B) when fc-loadtool (or fc-iram with some specialized target-utils program) was entered via the RESET button rather than PWON, followed by the soft poweroff operation and another switch-on via PWON. For more details, please refer to doc/Target-utils and the Calypso-test-reset article in the freecalypso-docs repository. * Aside from the just-described poweroff change, a lot of clean-up has been done throughout the target-utils suite: removed all use of bogo-millisecond delays which were previously copied from OsmocomBB; all programs with ABB access functionality can access the VRPCAUX register for manual debugging; helloapp clean-up; new watchdog experimentation commands in flash-boot-test; simtest no longer requires an explicit abbinit command. A new doc/Target-utils document has been written describing this target-utils suite. * Loadtools configuration for Mot C155/156 target (-h c155) fixed to use WS=4 memory timing setting as used by the official fw on this hardware, as opposed to the previously-used WS=3 setting that was blindly copied from OsmocomBB. * fc-xram got a new -j option for JTAG mode; see doc/Loadtools-usage. * Documentation updates for the new bits of knowledge learned from the examination of a Sony Ericsson J100 phone: no code changes were needed to support flash manipulation and RF calibration data extraction on this model, but this is the first time the Mother got her hands on one of these phones, hence there was no documentation previously. Changes from fc-host-tools-r9a to fc-host-tools-r10: * For those who need to run our tools on a 64-bit host system (or more precisely, any system on which pointers are longer than the basic int type), the present release includes fixes for null pointer passing constructs throughout the code base. The original code was only correct for classic systems on which ints and pointers are equivalent for K&R C function argument passing purposes. * The back end program supporting fcup-* -R mode has been extended to support sending strings longer than 254 characters using the extended version of the AT-over-RVTMUX mechanism supported by newer firmwares - see the updates in the doc/User-phone-tools article. A new unterm command has been added to fc-shell for the same functionality. * New developer utility fc-rftab2c can convert per-band RF parameter tables into C code snippets for inclusion into FreeCalypso firmware sources. * New target utility calversion can sometimes identify unknown Calypso chip versions - see doc/Calypso-chip-versions. * New target utility simtest has been developed for the purpose of facilitating hardware troubleshooting - see doc/SIM-hardware-debugging. * The tiny (120 bytes) flash-boot-wa.srec code piece which has been removed in fc-host-tools-r9 has been reinstated; it is not currently needed for anything (it was originally developed as a workaround for a problem that only affected one single defective board), but removing previously-released functionality for no good reason is not the way of FOSS. See doc/Flash-boot-wa for more details. * Compilation and installation: the Makefile hierarchy has been reworked to allow CC= and CFLAGS= to be overridden from the top for the entire package, and also to allow installation in a staging location - see INSTALL. Changes from fc-host-tools-r9 to fc-host-tools-r9a: * fc-loadtool can now correctly program the flash on Mot C155/156 phones: it turns out that their flash is like the one on TI's D-Sample board and needs the same partition quirks. Changes from fc-host-tools-r8 to fc-host-tools-r9: * mokosrec2bin utility added: it was originally written as a reverse engineering aid and was previously maintained in the freecalypso-reveng repository, but it has since been repurposed into a legitimate development tool. * Added workarounds for FTDI USB-serial adapters that feed previously accumulated serial Rx bytes or outright garbage to newly started serial I/O programs: + fcup-atinterf back-end program for fcup-* does a sleep of 20 ms followed by tcflush(target_fd, TCIFLUSH) on startup to flush any previously accumulated serial Rx buffer garbage that would otherwise cause breakage. The two delays in the deep sleep wakeup logic (see doc/Deep-sleep-support) have been reduced from 50 to 30 ms each, thus the total length of initial delays has been reduced from 100 to 80 ms. + In the rvinterf suite (see doc/Rvinterf-tools) a similar startup delay has been added in the special corner case of a non-interactive one-shot operation being commanded with rvinterf also being launched from the client program with -p; see the "Startup synchronization hack" section in the new Rvinterf-tools document. * fcup-smdump now restores the character set selection (AT+CSCS) setting on the target to the default "IRA" (ASCII) upon successful completion, after initially setting it to "HEX" for the operation; the intent of this change is to avoid leaving a strange state for anyone using the AT command interface manually after fcup-smdump. * fcup-smsend bugfix: the corner case of omitting the destination address argument with -W now works as documented. * fcup-settime: minor code rearrangement should slightly reduce the unavoidable delay between the time retrieval on the host and that time being set on the target. * A hack that was added in fc-host-tools-r5 solely to support one (1) defective FCDEV3B board with a particular flash boot defect has been removed. * A number of documentation updates have been made: Deep-sleep-support and Rvinterf-tools articles are new, RVTMUX and TIFFS-Overview write-ups got long-overdue major updates, plus a number of minor updates as usual. * For those who build the rarely needed ARM7 gcc toolchain from source, an old bug in the toolchain/build+install.sh script which was masked on the Mother's Slackware system for some reason has been fixed. Changes from fc-host-tools-r7 to fc-host-tools-r8: * fc-loadtool can now correctly program the flash on TI's D-Sample board after implementing the needed quirk for the Intel 28F640W30B flash chip. * target-utils (loadagent and friends) serial output code changed to wait for the Tx FIFO not full condition instead of FIFO empty; this change makes these target utilities actually utilize the Tx FIFO feature of Calypso UARTs. * New c1xx-calextr utility can extract the factory RF calibration values for Mot C1xx phones from a dump of their flash; see doc/Compal-calibration. * Support for RF tables in FreeCalypso ASCII format (see doc/RF_tables) is more complete: there is an ASCII format for the full 512 byte Tx ramps table, any ASCII RF table can be converted to native binary with fc-cal2bin, most ASCII RF tables can be uploaded directly into FFS with fc-fsio's new upload-rf-table command. * fc-cal2text change: Tx ramps tables are now emitted in the new ASCII format with one file for the whole table, not split into 16 single ramp template files any more. * fc-fsio changes: + new write-battery-table and write-charging-config commands for uploading FreeCalypso-invented battery discharge threshold tables and charging config files into the FFS of our FC devices with built-in compilation to binary; + added upload-rf-table command for uploading ASCII RF tables directly into FFS with built-in compilation to binary; + pirelli-magnetite-init command now copies the previously missed /gsm/rf/afcdac record. * fc-tmsh can now upload audio FIR coefficient sets from FIR coefficient table files with the new auw-fir command. * The audio mode configurations that have been added in fc-host-tools-r7 have been moved to a separate fc-audio-config repository and are no longer a part of the core FC host tools package. * The UI development aid utility fc-lcdemu which has been excluded from the default build set since fc-host-tools-r5 has been moved to a separate freecalypso-ui-dev repository and is no longer a part of the core FC host tools package. * rvinterf -X mechanism which pipes LCD output to fc-lcdemu now always inverts the RGB565 values as needed, and the -v option has been removed; see usage documentation in the freecalypso-ui-dev repository. * fc-shell: added key command for sending sp MMI CONFIG KEY_SEQUENCE=<string> with a lot less typing, and keydown and keyup commands that do the same for KEY_PRESS and KEY_RELEASE "config" sysprim commands. * There is a new suite of tools for talking to the AT command interface provided by FreeCalypso phones and modems, primarily for sending and retrieving SMS - see doc/User-phone-tools for more info. Changes from fc-host-tools-r6 to fc-host-tools-r7: * The way in which loadtools, rvinterf and miscellaneous tools operate on serial ports for the purpose of talking to Calypso GSM devices has been majorly reworked: the serial port handling code has been factored out into libserial, and the new libserial uses Linux-specific direct ioctl calls instead of generic termios. The effect is that you can now use the GSM- specific high serial baud rates (up to 812500 bps) with FTDI adapters (like the FT2232D adapter commonly used with FCDEV3B) with the standard unpatched ftdi_sio kernel driver. See doc/High-speed-serial for more info. * Added new utilities tiaud-compile and tiaud-mkvol for generating *.cfg and *.vol binary files for the audio mode switching facility of TI's RiViera Audio Service, to be uploaded under /aud into FreeCalypso GSM devices. * A set of audio mode tables is built and installed in /opt/freecalypso/aud-fcdev3b for uploading into /aud on FCDEV3B boards. Changes from fc-host-tools-r5 to fc-host-tools-r6: * loadtools and rvinterf now set TIOCEXCL on the tty to prevent the common error scenario of multiple processes trying to read from the same serial port. * fc-loadtool: added a batch operation mode whereby the tool executes a given command script, cleans up (usually powers off) the target and exits. * fc-loadtool exec command: scripts without slashes in the given name are now sought in the current directory. * fc-fsio format command: if the FFS is already formatted, the tool now prints the error returned by the FFS code in the target fw, but does not stop the execution of scripts; this change makes production scripts rerun-able. * exitcodes.h file installed in /opt/freecalypso/include/rvinterf: added ERROR_RFFAIL definition for use by fc-rfcal-tools. Changes from fc-host-tools-r4 to fc-host-tools-r5: * New install location: everything is now under /opt/freecalypso instead of /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/share/freecalypso. * loadtools: added support for dsample (TI D-Sample) and fcfam (FreeCalypso hardware family starting with FCDEV3B) targets. * loadagent: UART autodetection now works not only with Calypso boot ROM version 0300 found in the common Calypso devices, but also with the older version 0200 found in the older Calypso silicon on early D-Sample boards. * loadtools support for C139/140 target: use -h compal -c 1004 command line options instead of the previous -h compal -c 1003 to support the newer versions of C139/140 boot code which expect "1004" instead of the more familiar "1003" in the serially downloaded code image. The new -c 1004 option ("1004" signature bytes) should work with all currently known Mot/Compal boot code versions, thus -c 1003 is retained only for backward compatibility with existing usage. * fc-fsio: one can now type ls -l and not just the ll shorthand, pirelli-get-imei and pirelli-magnetite-init commands added (former fc-getpirimei and fc-pirhackinit separate utilities absorbed into fc-fsio), help facility added. * fc-tmsh changes: + fc-tmsh now takes the -p option and supports one-shot command invokation like fc-fsio and fc-shell; + added support for L1/RF test mode commands and other TM3 protocol commands (omr, omw, oabbr, oabbw, tm3ver); + added ETM_AUDIO commands aul, aus, aur and auw. * fc-olddump renamed to fc-memdump, can now use either TM3 or ETM memory read commands. * tiffs: added -O option to parse FFS images from the ancient 20020917 firmware on the D-Sample. * New in vitro analysis utilities: fc-cal2text and tiaud-decomp. * Added tools for working with ringtone melodies: fc-e1decode and fc-e1gen for loudspeaker melodies (see doc/Melody_E1) and fc-buzplay (plus target-side buzplayer.srec) for devices that use a piezoelectric buzzer. * rvinterf: added support for the keepalive mechanism, see the description in doc/RVTMUX. * rvinterf & fc-shell: added support for the experimental TCH rerouting feature of FreeCalypso Citrine firmware. * fc-fr2tch, fc-gsm2vm, fc-tch2fr, fc-vm2hex: new utilities for converting GSM 06.10 FR codec bits between different formats. * c139explore & pirexplore: added host shell script wrappers invoking fc-compalram and fc-iram with the respective target binaries. * Internal cleanup and refactoring in various places. Changes from fc-host-tools-r3 to fc-host-tools-r4: * Shellcode-based Compal phone break-in utility tfc139 reworked in a new way that should work with all Mot C1xx firmwares beyond the original TFC139 target: see doc/Compal-unlock and doc/TFC139-breakin for the details. * Documentation and cosmetic code changes to reflect the new understanding of TI's TM (Test Mode) predating ETM (Enhanced Test Mode): see doc/RVTMUX for a detailed explanation. * Added support for the old non-enhanced Test Mode memory read command in the form of fc-tmsh omr command, fc-fsio omemdump command and fc-olddump utility. * rvtdump and rvinterf recognize the old all-ASCII GPF trace format emitted by the D-Sample firmware from 20020917 and print these traces as ASCII instead of hex. * fc-dspapidump fixed to be independent of host byte order.
