That's odd - after I've changed it to uint8_t the
"board/compal_e88/rssi.compalram.elf section `.data' will not fit in region `LRAM'"
error is gone. I'm no expert in compiler internals but I think that indicates the
change in memory layout.

Could you please comment?

I agree.

As Sylvain explained on irc having modulo and frame number bigger than 256 might be
useful for experimentation with packets which are spread across several frames - to
represent them as huge 'fake' multiframe.

At least that's how I've understood it. He's surely doing some creepy magic with GSM :-)
