The calibration software needs to be installed on a Unix/Linux machine that is
able to communicate serially with both your CMU200 instrument and your Calypso
devices to be calibrated.  Because we use serial communication with the CMU200
instead of GPIB, no exotic drivers or libraries are needed.  However, you do
need to have FreeCalypso host tools (release fc-host-tools-r5 or later)
installed on your system under /opt/freecalypso before you can compile and
install the present calibration software, as we use the rvinterf program from
FC host tools to communicate with Calypso DUTs (or more precisely, with the
L1TM component in their firmware), and we need some rvinterf definitions in
order to compile.

Once you have fc-host-tools-r5 or later compiled and installed under
/opt/freecalypso, run 'make' to compile the calibration sw.  Then run
'make install' to add the calibration programs to your FC software installation
under /opt/freecalypso.

You will also need to create one or more cable config files corresponding to
your cabling setup(s); see doc/cableconf-example.  These cable config files
need to be placed in the /opt/freecalypso/rfcal/cableconf directory, and they
should be given some appropriately descriptive names:

* If you have a cable setup that terminates in an SMA connector for calibrating
  Calypso GSM devices with SMA antenna interfaces, the corresponding cable
  config file should be named "sma".

* If you have a cable setup that terminates in an MS-147 probe connector for
  recalibrating Mot C1xx phones or similar, the corresponding cable config file
  should be named "ms147".

* If you have a cable setup that terminates in a Murata SWD/SWF probe for
  working with devices like Openmoko GTA0x, the corresponding cable config file
  should be named "murata".

You will then select the cable configuration to be used in a given calibration
session with the -c option to fc-cmu200d.
