5 compal-flash-boot-for-fc 6 gcc-built experimental GSM firmware (gsm-fw):
6 A patched version of Compal's flash boot code for Mot C11x/12x
7 and C139/140 families, modified to work with main fw images from
8 FreeCalypso subprojects. It is compatible with our own gsm-fw
9 and with tcs211-c139.

11 ffstools Here you will find tools for "in vitro" examination of FFS 8 Now called FreeCalypso Citrine and maintained in the
12 (flash file system) images read out of TI-based GSM devices. 9 freecalypso-citrine repository.

20 devices. Using these tools, you can load code into target
21 device IRAM or XRAM and run it there, as well as dump and load
22 flash. The operation of these tools is based on gaining
23 control of the target device either through the Calypso on-chip
24 boot ROM (on freedom-enabled devices), or through the
25 flash-resident boot code on the crippled Compal phones.
26
27 lcdemu fc-lcdemu is built here.
28
29 miscutil fc-rgbconv, fc-serterm and imei-luhn are built here.

31 rvinterf In common with TI's original fw, FreeCalypso GSM fw implements
32 the so-called RiViera serial MUX, which is a binary packet
33 protocol for multiplexing many kinds of debug and development
34 traffic over just one available physical serial port. This
35 rvinterf directory contains our suite of tools for connecting
36 to this RV serial interface, supporting both our own gsm-fw as
37 well as some existing proprietary firmwares to the extent to
38 which they are compatible.
39
40 target-utils This tree contains code that runs on Calypso targets, but is
41 not regular firmware (gsm-fw) or a part thereof. The two key
42 components built in this tree are loadagent (needed for all
43 targets) and compalstage (for Compal phones only), which need
44 to be installed on the user's host system in order for
45 loadtools (see above) to do their job.
46
47 toolchain Scripts and patches for building the gcc+binutils toolchain
48 targeting ARM7, the CPU core of the Calypso GSM/GPRS baseband
49 processor. You'll need to build and install this toolchain
50 first before you can build gsm-fw or target-utils.
