1 The calibration software needs to be installed on a Unix/Linux machine that is
2 able to communicate serially with both your CMU200 instrument and your Calypso
3 devices to be calibrated. Because we use serial communication with the CMU200
4 instead of GPIB, no exotic drivers or libraries are needed. However, you do
5 need to have FreeCalypso host tools (release fc-host-tools-r5 or later)
6 installed on your system under /opt/freecalypso before you can compile and
7 install the present calibration software, as we use the rvinterf program from
8 FC host tools to communicate with Calypso DUTs (or more precisely, with the
9 L1TM component in their firmware), and we need some rvinterf definitions in
10 order to compile.
11
12 Once you have fc-host-tools-r5 or later compiled and installed under
13 /opt/freecalypso, run 'make' to compile the calibration sw. Then run
14 'make install' to add the calibration programs to your FC software installation
15 under /opt/freecalypso.
16
17 You will also need to create one or more cable config files corresponding to
18 your cabling setup(s); see doc/cableconf-example. These cable config files
19 need to be placed in the /opt/freecalypso/rfcal/cableconf directory, and they
20 should be given some appropriately descriptive names:
21
22 * If you have a cable setup that terminates in an SMA connector for calibrating
23 Calypso GSM devices with SMA antenna interfaces, the corresponding cable
24 config file should be named "sma".
25
26 * If you have a cable setup that terminates in an MS-147 probe connector for
27 recalibrating Mot C1xx phones or similar, the corresponding cable config file
28 should be named "ms147".
29
30 * If you have a cable setup that terminates in a Murata SWD/SWF probe for
31 working with devices like Openmoko GTA0x, the corresponding cable config file
32 should be named "murata".
33
34 You will then select the cable configuration to be used in a given calibration
35 session with the -c option to fc-cmu200d.
