43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	4 Before we begin, it needs to be noted that running FreeCalypso fw on a C1xx
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	5 phone is very much akin to xenotransplantation: Mot C1xx hardware is an alien
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	6 to our FreeCalypso family (our native hw targets are those made by TI, Openmoko
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	7 and us, not Motorola or Compal), and our non-Compal-based, non-Mot-based
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	8 FreeCalypso fw is equally alien to the C1xx phones. The xenotransplantation
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	9 procedure of converting a C1xx phone to FreeCalypso is highly unnatural, and
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	10 involves a large number of cumbersome manual steps - you've been warned.

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	15 Firmware flashing on Mot C1xx phones is accomplished through the headset jack
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	16 via a special cable. There is no need to disassemble the phone in any way or
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	17 to do any soldering or other hardware surgery, but you will need a host system
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	18 to run the multitude of special software tools that are involved in the
543 4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	19 procedure. You will need to begin by installing FreeCalypso host tools: the
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	20 current version of our FC-to-C1xx xenotransplantation procedure for the lower

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	37
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	38 Before you begin the actual conversion of your C1xx phone to FreeCalypso, you
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	39 will need to gather the following pieces of information:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	40
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	41 * The phone's IMEI - we don't know how to extract it out of Mot/Compal's non-TI
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	42 flash data structures, so you will have to reset it manually after the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	43 firmware change. Of course you can set your "new" FreeCalypso IMEI to
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	44 whatever you feel like, but if you wish to keep the original factory-assigned
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	45 one, you will need to note it down manually, either from the sticker inside
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	46 the battery compartment (very hard to read!) or by booting the phone up
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	47 with its original fw prior to the conversion, entering *#06# and reading it
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	48 from the display.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	49
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	50 * Your specific phone's factory RF calibration values: you will need to make a
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	51 dump of your phone's flash memory (also serves as a backup, always a good
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	52 thing to have) with fc-loadtool and extract the numbers of interest with our
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	53 c1xx-calextr utility, which is part of the new FC host tools.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	54
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	55 * You need to know whether your phone has 900+1800 MHz or 850+1900 MHz bands -
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	56 you will need to communicate this information to the new fw after the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	57 conversion. To the best of our knowledge, all C11x/12x and C140 phones have
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	58 900+1800 MHz bands, but C139 phones have been made in both versions. On the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	59 phones that have passed through our hands so far, the first two digits of the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	60 IMEI have been 35 on 900+1800 MHz phones and 01 on 850+1900 MHz ones.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	61
543 4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	62 * For the lower C1xx subfamilies only: you need to know whether your phone has
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	63 2 MiB or 4 MiB flash. To the best of our knowledge, all C139/140 phones have
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	64 4 MiB flash, but C11x have been seen with both 2 MiB and 4 MiB flashes. The
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	65 flash memory size will be autodetected by fc-loadtool as part of making the
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	66 flash dump. C155 and C156 phones have 8 MiB flash.
383 43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	67
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	68 The Mother's method for keeping track of these per-phone bits of information is
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	69 to create a separate directory for each phone with the IMEI as the directory
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	70 name; the flash dump and the RF calibration bits extracted from it will then
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	71 reside in that directory, while the IMEI is in the name of the directory itself.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	72
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	73 Once you have created your per-phone directory and cd'ed into it, you are ready
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	74 to run fc-loadtool to capture the flash dump. The phone needs to be off, but
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	75 the battery needs to be present and have some charge in it; with the phone off,
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	76 connect the serial cable between your host computer and the phone's headset
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	77 jack, and run fc-loadtool as follows:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	78
543 4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	79 C11x/12x: fc-loadtool -h compal /dev/ttyXXX

383 43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	82
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	83 Change /dev/ttyXXX to the serial or USB-serial device corresponding to your
543 4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	84 serial cable. With the serial cable connected, the phone in the powered-off
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	85 state and the fc-loadtool process running and waiting for the phone, press the
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	86 red power button on the phone - a momentary press is sufficient and recommended.
383 43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	87
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	88 Once the phone boots the loadagent code fed to it serially by fc-loadtool and
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	89 you land at the loadtool> prompt, issue the following command:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	90
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	91 flash dump2bin flashdump.bin
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	92
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	93 Given this command, fc-loadtool will autodetect whether your phone has 2 MiB or
543 4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	94 4 MiB flash (for the lower C1xx subfamilies), then make a dump of the complete
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	95 content of this flash memory and save it in a file named flashdump.bin in the
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	96 current directory. When this operation completes, exit the loadtool session
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	97 with the exit command - it will also cleanly power the phone off.
383 43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	98
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	99 The next step is to extract the RF calibration values. Run a command of the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	100 following form:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	101

543 4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	104 For the lower C1xx subfamilies, change <offset> to 0x1FC000 if your phone has
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	105 2 MiB flash (the size of flashdump.bin is 2097152 bytes) or 0x3FC000 if it has
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	106 4 MiB flash (the size of flashdump.bin is 4194304 bytes). For C155/156 the
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	107 correct offset is 0x7E0000. The stdout scribbles from c1xx-calextr will
383 43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	108 indicate which per-band calibration records it finds (from which you can tell
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	109 if the phone has 900+1800 MHz or 850+1900 MHz bands if you didn't have this
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	110 knowledge already), and a directory named rfbin will be created, containing the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	111 correct subtree of directories and files which will need to be uploaded into

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	116 ==================================================
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	117
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	118 There is only one FC Magnetite firmware configuration for C11x/12x phones, but
543 4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	119 for the better C139/140 phones (or for C155/156) there are several to choose
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	120 from. The following two configs are the currently recommended ones:
383 43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	121
543 4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	122 hybrid-vpm This config is available for all 3 C1xx subfamilies, although
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	123 the actual fw images are different for each. In this
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	124 configuration the converted phone acts not as an end user phone,
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	125 but as a voice pseudo-modem that needs to be controlled by a
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	126 host computer via a serial cable to do anything interesting.
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	127 See the Voice-pseudo-modem article for more information.

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	258
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	259 By the conventions established in the FreeCalypso family of projects, all of
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	260 our firmwares for C11x and C139 targets have the following in common:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	261
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	262 * They all stay out of the boot sector and expect to receive control from the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	263 boot code in the same manner (boot entry point at 0x10058, exception vectors
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	264 at 0x10000), thus there is no need to reflash the dangerous boot sector when
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	265 going from one FC firmware to another.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	266
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	267 * They all use the same aftermarket FFS configuration of 3 sectors of 64 KiB
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	268 each (64x3) at 0x3C0000 on 4 MiB flash phones, or at 0x1C0000 on 2 MiB flash
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	269 phones. This FFS location is deliberately different from the one used by
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	270 Mot/Compal's firmwares, eliminating the possibility of one fw trying to use
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	271 the FFS created by the other, and by putting our FFS toward the end of the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	272 flash we maximize the amount of flash space available for our firmware code
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	273 images. But even though we don't share our FFS with Mot/Compal's official
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	274 firmwares, we do share the same FFS between all of FreeCalypso firmware
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	275 projects - thus once you have initialized your FFS (see below) with one FC
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	276 firmware version, it will work with the others as well.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	277
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	278 If you need to reflash your C1xx phone from one FC firmware version to another,
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	279 simply get in with fc-loadtool -h compal (no more need for the inefficient
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	280 -c 1003 or -c 1004 options or for tfc139) and reflash just the fw image part:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	281

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	283
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	284 First boot of the firmware
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	285 ==========================
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	286
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	287 Connect the serial cable, but instead of running fc-loadtool, run rvinterf.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	288 Press the red power button on the phone briefly just like you would for
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	289 fc-loadtool entry. Because there is no fc-loadtool running on the host end of
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	290 the serial cable, the boot path will not be diverted in the bootloader, and
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	291 the main fw image will run - and this time it will be the FreeCalypso firmware
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	292 you have compiled and flashed. If the fw you have flashed is the UI demo
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	293 configuration, the phone must have NO SIM in it the first time you boot it.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	294 UI-enabled fw configurations automatically bring up the GSM radio and try to
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	295 connect to the default network on boot if there is a SIM present, and you don't
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	296 want your firmware trying to connect to a real live GSM network when you haven't
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	297 initialized your FFS yet. If the fw you have flashed is one of the AT-command-
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	298 controlled pseudo-modem configurations, then you don't need to worry if the SIM
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	299 is there or not on your first boot - just don't command it to connect to a
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	300 network until you have initialized the FFS.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	301
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	302 If you have flashed a non-UI firmware version, the phone's LCD will remain dark
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	303 as there is no LCD driver code in this firmware, but you will see trace output
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	304 in the rvinterf window, telling you that the fw is running.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	305
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	306 Before you do anything else, you will need to run fc-fsio and initialize the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	307 aftermarket FFS for our firmware:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	308

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	316 then additionally:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	317
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	318 fsio> upload-subtree rfbin /gsm/rf

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	320
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	321 The last two commands are new with the 2018-01 revision of the FC-to-C1xx
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	322 xenotransplantation procedure. The upload-subtree command uploads the RF
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	323 calibration values which you had extracted earlier with c1xx-calextr (the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	324 instructions assume that you are running from the same directory where the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	325 rfbin directory subtree had been created earlier), and this step is necessary
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	326 in order for your phone to continue to transmit at the correct power levels
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	327 after the conversion. The write-charging-config command uploads the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	328 configuration settings for the FCHG battery charging driver, without which it
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	329 cannot charge the battery; you must have the charging config files from the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	330 fc-battery-conf tree installed under /opt/freecalypso in order for this command
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	331 to work as given.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	332
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	333 It needs to be noted that the battery charging config settings uploaded with
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	334 fc-fsio write-charging-config take effect only on the next boot cycle of the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	335 firmware, i.e., until the next reboot after the write-charging-config operation,
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	336 the firmware won't charge the battery even if there is a charging power source
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	337 plugged in.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	338
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	339 After you've initialized your FFS as above, you should exit fc-fsio, and your
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	340 next steps will depend on which fw configuration you are playing with. If it's
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	341 the sans-UI pseudo-modem configuration, run fc-shell and try some AT commands:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	342
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	343 AT+CMEE=2 -- enable verbose error responses

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	346
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	347 When you are done, you can power the phone off by sending a 'poweroff' command
543 4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	348 through fc-shell, or you can kill rvinterf or unplug the serial cable and wait
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	349 for the firmware to power off by the keepalive timeout after some 15 to 20 s.

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	351 If you are playing with the UI demo firmware, after you have initialized your
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	352 FFS, you can power the phone off with the power button, insert a SIM, power it
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	353 back on and play with the primitive UI.

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	356 ===============================
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	357
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	358 If you had previously initialized your aftermarket FFS using an earlier version
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	359 of these instructions, before we added the RF calibration and charging config
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	360 upload steps, you need to add these bits to your FFS. Update to the latest FC
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	361 host tools, extract the factory RF calibration values from a dump of your
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	362 phone's flash with c1xx-calextr, add the battery charging config files to your
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	363 /opt/freecalypso installation, boot the phone with rvinterf, get in with fc-fsio
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	364 and run the last two upload-subtree and write-charging-config commands as above.

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	367 =============
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	368
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	369 In the interest of completeness, it needs to be noted that extracting Motorola's
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	370 original factory RF calibration values and reusing them for FreeCalypso is not
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	371 the only way: the other alternative is to perform a fresh calibration using a
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	372 Rohde&Schwarz CMU200 RF test machine and FreeCalypso RF calibration software
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	373 (fc-rfcal-tools). This approach will yield superior results, but the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	374 requirement of having a CMU200 instrument which is itself properly calibrated
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	375 and a cabling setup with the right adapters whose insertion loss at particular
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	376 GSM frequencies is precisely known makes this approach feasible only for
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	377 professional FreeCalypso service shops, not for ordinary individual users.
