1 The name "fcom1" stands for "FreeCalypso hardware, Openmoko-based, version 1",
2 and the set of Tx power level calibration profiles named "fcom1" has been
3 created empirically by the Mother of FreeCalypso to produce successful Tx level
4 calibration runs on our current FCDEV3B boards with our current CMU200 and
5 cabling setup.

7 These fcom1 Tx power level calibration profiles should ONLY be used for
8 (re)calibrating FreeCalypso-made hardware, i.e., FCDEV3B boards and potentially
9 other closely related FC hardware designs in the future; these profiles are NOT
10 expected to be correct for recalibrating Openmoko's own FreeRunners or for
11 calibrating other (non-FreeCalypso) Openmoko-derived GSM devices that retain
12 the internal antenna and the Murata SWD RF test port used by Openmoko, as
13 opposed to the SMA used on our FCDEV3B.
14
15 For anyone interested in one of those latter use cases, a different set of
16 profiles would need to be created; the Mother is not currently able to create
17 those profiles with a good confidence of correctness despite owning several
18 Openmoko-made FreeRunners and the appropriate Murata MXHS83QH3000 adapter
19 because the insertion loss of the latter adapter is not precisely known.
20 Knowing the total insertion loss along the full path from the DUT to the CMU200
21 is a prerequisite for determining the correct profiles for Tx power level
22 calibration, and when Murata SWD/SWF RF test ports are involved, this cabling
23 path includes both the cable from the CMU200 ending in an SMA and the adapter
24 from Murata that goes between the SMA and their switch connector.
