You are looking at the suite of software tools developed by the Mother of
FreeCalypso for calibrating a number of RF parameters on TI-based GSM devices.
The use of this software absolutely requires highly specialized RF test
equipment (R&S CMU200 is the only equipment make and model for which support is
currently implemented) which needs to be connected to the DUT (device under
test) with an RF coax; all calibration procedures involve the connected external
test equipment either analyzing the RF signal put out by the DUT or acting as a
signal generator.  If you don't have the necessary RF test equipment, the
software alone cannot do anything useful for you.

Because the present software is not intended or usable for end users, a fairly
advanced level of skill and understanding is expected from the operator.  The
write-ups in the doc subdirectory provide some guidance (doc/General-flow is a
good place to start), but you are expected to study the source code for yourself
to fill in the remaining details.

The automated calibration software resides in the autocal and cmu200
subdirectories; the part in the cmu200 subdir is naturally specific to the R&S
CMU200, whereas the part in the autocal subdir is agnostic to the specific type
of RF test equipment as long as it provides the needed functionality.  If you
wish to use our software with some other type of RF test equipment than CMU200,
you will need to develop your own replacement for our fc-cmu200d program; you
should be able to start with the existing fc-cmu200d source and adapt it as
necessary for your other equipment.
