configs/* except classic: rebuild tif_na7_db_{fl,ir} from source The purpose of this change is to allow a TRACEMASK_IN_FFS=1 setting given on the configure line to have effect; all configs except classic are included because this feature setting is orthogonal to the choice of G23M PS version and other config choices. (The classic config is an exception because its very purpose is to preserve a reference config with all of the original blobs.) Note that even though we are switching these TIF libraries from blobs to recompilation from source in all configs, our source for these libs compiles into a perfect match to the original blobs in the current default TRACEMASK_IN_FFS=0 configuration, hence there is no effective change beyond the unfortunate small increase in compilation times.

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	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	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:

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

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	256 Reflashing between different FreeCalypso firmwares
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	257 ==================================================
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	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	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

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	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	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.
