fc-simtool can operate on SIM cards that sit inside a Calypso phone or FC development board, as opposed to the more classic case of operating on a SIM inserted into a dedicated card reading/programming station. However, this special Calypso mode of operation works in an unusual way: instead of invoking fc-simtool (or fc-uicc-tool) directly, you have to run a front end program called fc-simint. fc-simint loads and runs simagent on the Calypso device the same way how fc-loadtool loads and runs loadagent, then it passes the open file descriptor to fc-simtool via the special internal-use-only -C option. fc-simint and its simagent back end reside in the FreeCalypso host tools package (along with fc-loadtool and other Calypso tools), not in FC SIM tools. fc-simint and simagent have been added to FC host tools as of fc-host-tools-r15 release. The latest official release of FC host tools can always be found here: ftp://ftp.freecalypso.org/pub/GSM/FreeCalypso/fc-host-tools-latest.tar.bz2 Please refer to doc/SIM-manipulation article in the FC host tools package (r15 or later) for further usage instructions.
