+ − Changes from fc-host-tools-r17 to fc-host-tools-r18:
+ −
+ − * fc-loadtool: added support for Samsung K5L29xxCAM flash, which is Samsung's
+ − equivalent of Spansion S71PL129J. This flash chip has been found in some
+ − Sony Ericsson K200/220 phones.
+ −
+ − * Changes for the newly resurrected TCH tap feature:
+ −
+ − + fc-shell tch record facility now accepts both the old DL bits format sent
+ − by FC Citrine firmware and the new format sent by current FC Tourmaline fw;
+ − when the new DL bits format is received, the line-based ASCII output also
+ − exhibits a new extended format.
+ −
+ − + New fc-efr2tch utility is the EFR counterpart to unchanged fc-fr2tch.
+ −
+ − + doc/TCH-bit-access article updated for the new environment that includes
+ − not only the small-ish changes above, but also new FC Tourmaline firmware
+ − and the new GSM codec libraries & utilities package.
+ −
+ − * New fc-vm2gsmx utility and accompanying doc/Voice-memo-utils article.
+ −
+ − * rvinterf log output verbosity change: TCH packets are now elided from the
+ − output by default, replaced by a count of how many were sent and received;
+ − the new -v option turns on verbose mode in which every such packet is dumped
+ − in hex like before.
+ −
+ − Changes from fc-host-tools-r16 to fc-host-tools-r17:
+ −
+ − * New utilities have been added for working with FreeCalypso PWT melodies,
+ − to be played via the buzzer on those FC phones and development boards that
+ − are equipped with such - see doc/Buzzer-melodies article for further details.
+ − The new utilities are:
+ −
+ − + fc-pwt-comp compiles PWT buzzer melodies from our ASCII source format (same
+ − as for fc-buzplay) into the binary format read by the new BUZM melody player
+ − engine in FC Tourmaline firmware.
+ −
+ − + fc-imy2pwt converts user/community/Internet-sourced monophonic ringtone
+ − melodies from iMelody interchange format to our ASCII PWT format, i.e., the
+ − format to be fed to fc-pwt-comp.
+ −
+ − + fc-ringlist-comp compiles melody lists into the binary format that will be
+ − read by our phone UI firmware at a later stage of integration.
+ −
+ − + fc-meltest-pwt plays a single PWT melody (read from ASCII source file) on a
+ − running FreeCalypso phone or devboard, accessed via rvinterf. fc-meltest-e1
+ − does the same for E1 melodies, playing in the currently active voice path.
+ −
+ − + fc-imyplay plays a single IMY melody on a running FC phone or devboard,
+ − accessed via rvinterf. It is like fc-meltest-pwt, but with the additional
+ − step of fc-imy2pwt included.
+ −
+ − * fc-buzplay: the basic 'play' command now plays both BU and PWT melodies, if
+ − the filename ends in .buz or .pwt, respectively. Explicit play-bu and
+ − play-pwt (replacing the old 'playt') commands are also provided.
+ −
+ − * New l1trace-filter program connects to rvinterf as a client and displays only
+ − certain filtered L1 traces; it was written for the purpose of isolating
+ − specific traces of interest out of the noise.
+ −
+ − * New fc-add-ramps program reads a table of Tx ramp templates (in FreeCalypso
+ − RF table ASCII format), adds up each ramp and reports the resulting sums.
+ − This program is an aid for engineers working on RF Tx tract tuning.
+ −
+ − * A special reverse engineering command named tfc139-audio-dump has been added
+ − to fc-loadtool; this hack command does anything interesting only when
+ − fc-loadtool has been entered through tfc139 (breaking into a running Compal
+ − firmware), in which case it will dump some audio settings (DSP API words and
+ − Iota ABB registers) which should persist from the official firmware that has
+ − been broken into.
+ −
+ − * lunadrv target utility (FreeCalypso LCD testing) got a new reset-suspend
+ − command for testing the scenario of entering lowest-power suspend mode
+ − directly out of reset, without any functional initialization.
+ −
+ − Changes from fc-host-tools-r15 to fc-host-tools-r16:
+ −
+ − * tiaud-compile and tiaud-decomp now support two versions of the audio mode
+ − binary file format: the original one which we inherited from Openmoko
+ − (L1_NEW_AEC disabled) and the new one used in FC Tourmaline, with L1_NEW_AEC
+ − enabled. See doc/Audio-mode-config article for further details.
+ −
+ − * fc-tmsync command additions:
+ −
+ − + New aur and aur-all commands are documented in the doc/Audio-mode-config
+ − article.
+ −
+ − + mpr command works like in fc-tmsh, but also accepts the longer responses
+ − (extra 2 bytes) returned by Pirelli's fw.
+ −
+ − + madc command uses the mpr operation to read all 8 MADC channels, with
+ − sensible choices of raw or converted reading and decimal or hex display.
+ −
+ − * fc-tmsh got new commands rvf-dump, pwr-key and phone-on, sending commands
+ − that are encoded via the ETM debug opcode. On the target firmware side,
+ − rvf-dump is an original TCS211 command, whereas pwr-key and phone-on are
+ − FreeCalypso Tourmaline additions.
+ −
+ − * Added support for FC Tourmaline battery simulation (BSIM) mode:
+ −
+ − + fc-fsio write-bsim-config command writes the /etc/batterysim file that
+ − enables and configures BSIM mode.
+ −
+ − + fc-tmsh bsim family of commands send ETM_BSIM command packets to the
+ − target, driving simulated battery charging and discharging events.
+ −
+ − * buzplayer target utility and fc-buzplay front end now support both BU and PWT
+ − modes of operating the Calypso buzzer, including support for both BU and PWT
+ − melodies in fc-buzplay. See the new doc/Buzzer-melodies article for more
+ − information.
+ −
+ − * lunadrv target utility (FC Luna LCD hardware exercising):
+ −
+ − + New init-kwh command initializes ILI9225G controller registers with the
+ − official settings for KWH020ST23-F01 LCD module, as prescribed by module
+ − manufacturer Formike. The only difference from HT020K1QC36S initialization
+ − (init-ht command) is one register setting: VCOMH.
+ −
+ − + New suspend and resume commands enter and exit ILI9225G sleep mode.
+ −
+ − Changes from fc-host-tools-r14 to fc-host-tools-r15:
+ −
+ − * New fc-simint host program and its associated simagent target back end work
+ − together with fc-simtool (separate FC SIM tools package), allowing the latter
+ − to operate on SIM cards inside Calypso phones and development boards. See
+ − the new doc/SIM-manipulation article for the details.
+ −
+ − * pcm-sms-decode and sms-pdu-decode now emit backslash escapes instead of '?'
+ − error markers when the message body contains non-displayable characters,
+ − allowing the user to see the full message content, good or bad.
+ −
+ − * pcm-sms-decode allows a new -s option to number decoded records as 1..N
+ − instead of 0..N-1.
+ −
+ − * fcup-smdump: if the output contains Phonebook-Name lines (if the AT command
+ − modem reported a phonebook name along with the message in the +CMGL response),
+ − these phonebook names are now emitted as quoted strings with the same possible
+ − backslash escapes as defined in the SIM-data-formats specification in the
+ − freecalypso-docs repository.
+ −
+ − * Documentation: new doc/Nonfree-phones-user-data article explains how to use
+ − fc-simint and pcm-sms-decode to retrieve user data (phonebooks and SMS) from
+ − phones that have not been fully liberated yet.
+ −
+ − Changes from fc-host-tools-r13 to fc-host-tools-r14:
+ −
+ − * fc-loadtool got new commands for reading the OTP protection register of
+ − Intel-style flash chips; this OTP protection register holds the factory IMEI
+ − on Compal phones.
+ −
+ − * fc-iram second program invokation mode fix: options for the second program
+ − are no longer misinterpreted as fc-iram options.
+ −
+ − * rvinterf -b writes the PID of the backgrounded process into /tmp/rvinterf.pid;
+ − see doc/Rvinterf-tools article for the explanation.
+ −
+ − * New support for target boot control via DTR and RTS modem control outputs as
+ − implemented on our new DUART28 adapter - see doc/DUART28-boot-control.
+ −
+ − * New make-imeisv utility is an aid for shell scripts that need to construct a
+ − 16-digit IMEISV from a 15-digit traditional IMEI, including Luhn check digit
+ − verification.
+ −
+ − * ADC calibration table /sys/adccal is now supported much like various RF
+ − parameter tables: it can be decoded from binary to our own ASCII format with
+ − fc-bin2rftab, it can be compiled back into binary with fc-cal2bin, and it can
+ − be uploaded with fc-fsio upload-rf-table.
+ −
+ − * Tiffs IVA (In Vitro Analyzer) new features, see doc/TIFFS-IVA-usage for more
+ − details:
+ −
+ − + New tiffs decode facility allows single-command extraction and decoding of
+ − RF parameter tables and some other FFS files for which tiffs cat -h is
+ − insufficient.
+ −
+ − + New tiffs-8m convenience wrapper for examining FFS images read out of Tango
+ − modules.
+ −
+ − * New tiffs-mkfs utility can generate TIFFS images completely from scratch
+ − "in vitro", containing initial directory and file content given by a Unix
+ − directory and file tree on the host system. The resulting image can then be
+ − flashed into a Calypso GSM device running FreeCalypso firmware. There is
+ − also a companion utility named tiffs-mkfile that generates a few specific
+ − binary file types that go into TIFFS.
+ −
+ − * A new target-utils program named lunadrv has been added: it is a driver for
+ − FreeCalypso Luna LCD, or rather a utility that allows this LCD hardware to be
+ − exercised and tested in a standalone manner, independent of complex firmware
+ − builds with phone UI functionality. FC Luna is an LCD add-on to iWOW DSK or
+ − FC Caramel2 boards.
+ −
+ − * fc-shell got a new batt command for sending MMI_BATTERY_IND primitives to
+ − target firmwares, to be used as part of phone handset UI firmware development.
+ −
+ − * fc-fsio write-battery-table command has been replaced with new
+ − write-battery-table-v1 and write-battery-table-v2 commands. Both commands
+ − accept the new battery table ASCII source format with a third field added for
+ − battery bars icon thresholds; write-battery-table-v1 writes the original
+ − /etc/batterytab format needed for Magnetite and Selenite firmwares, whereas
+ − write-battery-table-v2 writes the new /etc/batterytab2 format needed for our
+ − new Tourmaline firmware. The corresponding back end programs are
+ − compile-fc-batt and compile-fc-batt2.
+ −
+ − * New arfcn2ti and ti2arfcn utilities convert back and forth between standard
+ − ARFCNs and TCS211 L1 radio_freq numbers - see the new doc/ARFCN-mapping
+ − article.
+ −
+ − * Documentation updates that don't involve any changes in actual code:
+ − doc/Loadtools-usage instructions for FC Tango and for new Compal targets
+ − (Mot V17x), doc/TIFFS-Overview updates for new tools including the new FFS
+ − editor (maintained externally), doc/IMEI updates for Compal IMEI discovery.
+ −
+ − Changes from fc-host-tools-r12 to fc-host-tools-r13:
+ −
+ − * fc-loadtool changes:
+ −
+ − + Memory dump commands (dump2bin and dump2srec) have been reimplemented using
+ − loadagent's new BINDUMP command, sending the dump stream from the target to
+ − the host in binary format instead of hex. This change speeds up the dump
+ − transfer time by a little over 2x.
+ −
+ − + Flash programming commands flash program-bin, program-m0 and program-srec
+ − have likewise been changed to use a new binary protocol, producing some
+ − improvement in flash programming times - see the updated
+ − doc/Loadtools-performance article.
+ −
+ − + New combined erase+program commands have been implemented: flash
+ − e-program-bin, e-program-m0 and e-program-srec. See the new
+ − doc/Flash-programming article for explanation of the intended usage.
+ −
+ − + Batch mode extended to run either a command script or a single flash
+ − command - see doc/Loadtools-usage for the details.
+ −
+ − + Scripting fix for Compal phones: flash erase-program-boot command can be
+ − put into a script followed by other commands, and the following commands
+ − will execute if the erase-program-boot operation was successful.
+ − Previously this command always stopped script execution because of an
+ − implementation quirk.
+ −
+ − * fc-xram uses the new binary protocol to transfer the user's XRAM image to the
+ − target, producing a speed increase of 3.5x to 5x for the most common use
+ − cases. Also added CRC-32 verification of the downloaded RAM regions before
+ − jumping to the downloaded image.
+ −
+ − * New version of loadagent has added support for the new binary protocols for
+ − memory dumps, flash programming and XRAM loading.
+ −
+ − * All loadtools programs:
+ −
+ − + The step of feeding the IRAM code image to the Calypso boot ROM has been
+ − sped up by about 700 ms by grouping contiguous S-record payloads into larger
+ − blocks (up to the boot ROM limit of 1014 bytes per block) instead of sending
+ − each S-record payload (30 bytes typically) as its own write command.
+ −
+ − + New -t option allows the wait for the boot ROM response to be time-limited,
+ − needed for automated (unattended) environments with target boot control.
+ −
+ − Changes from fc-host-tools-r11 to fc-host-tools-r12:
+ −
+ − * To facilitate objective comparison of loadtools performance between what the
+ − Mother sees on her Slackware reference system vs. what other users see on
+ − their different host systems, fc-loadtool now reports measured operation times
+ − for all lengthy operations: dump2bin, dump2srec and all flash programming
+ − commands. fc-xram likewise reports the measured operation time for its
+ − singular operation of transferring an XRAM image. The new
+ − doc/Loadtools-performance article explains some of the underlying theory and
+ − presents the performance numbers which you SHOULD be getting if your host
+ − system works as well as the Mother's Slackware reference.
+ −
+ − * The mystery of poor fc-loadtool and fc-xram performance on newer Linux host
+ − systems with FTDI adapters has been solved and documented in the same
+ − doc/Loadtools-performance article.
+ −
+ − * fc-loadtool changes:
+ −
+ − + Added support for Spansion S29/S71PL032J and S29/S71PL064J flash chips:
+ − these flash chips are found in some historical modem modules and may also
+ − be used in future mass-produced FreeCalypso modem products. Historical
+ − flash chip Am29DL640G is also supported as it is identical to S29PL064J for
+ − our purposes.
+ −
+ − + The implementation of flash program-m0 and program-srec commands (needed
+ − for flashing classic TI fw images with large gaps between discontiguous
+ − program regions) has been revamped, making these commands work as well as
+ − our generally preferred flash program-bin command: same performance, same
+ − progress indication, same CRC-32 verification at the end.
+ −
+ − * All loadtools programs: when feeding IRAM code images to the Calypso boot ROM,
+ − we now collect and check for the 00 04 bytes after the >p response, and we
+ − also collect the checksum byte which the boot ROM sends with its >c response.
+ − The old code which failed to collect the checksum byte after >c worked only
+ − by luck.
+ −
+ − * loadtools config: the repertoire of -h targets has been significantly cleaned
+ − up and generalized, moving away from special cases and toward more generic
+ − configurations. Please refer to the new doc/Loadtool-targets article for the
+ − details.
+ −
+ − * For operating on GTM900 modem modules, the new -h gen8 loadtools target needs
+ − to be used instead of the old -h gtm900 config which has been removed; while
+ − most GTM900 variants have 4 MiB flash chips, some have been found to contain
+ − S71PL064J (8 MiB) flash instead.
+ −
+ − * The old -h gta02 target for fc-loadtool and friends is deprecated and will be
+ − removed in the next release; please use the new -h fic target configuration
+ − instead.
+ −
+ − * The ancient provision for building the loadtools subset of FC host tools in a
+ − special configuration for running on the application processor of OM GTA02
+ − has been removed. It has been replaced with a generalized mechanism for
+ − target boot control - see the new doc/Target-boot-control article.
+ −
+ − * mokosrec2bin default fill byte has been changed from 0x00 to 0xFF, producing
+ − binary images by default that match what would result in flash if the m0 file
+ − were to be programmed as-is.
+ −
+ − * A pair of little ad hoc programs has been been added to the FC host tools
+ − suite for the purpose of dumping the Calypso chip's internal DSP mask ROM -
+ − see doc/DSP-ROM-dump.
+ −
+ − * fc-fsio got some new commands for cleaning stale junk from FFS, typically
+ − needed when converting modems from alien manufacturers to FreeCalypso fw:
+ −
+ − + rm deletes an elementary object (file, empty directory or symlink); rm -f
+ − does the same but the case where the object to be deleted does not exist is
+ − treated as not-an-error.
+ −
+ − + rm-subtree deletes an entire subtree of directories and files starting with
+ − a given directory (equivalent of UNIX rm -r); -f option is also available
+ − like with plain rm.
+ −
+ − + cleandir removes all content of a directory (all files and subdirectories
+ − and their content), but keeps the remaining empty directory.
+ −
+ − * Added some fc-fsio command scripts (installed in /opt/freecalypso/scripts)
+ − for preening GTM900-B and GTM900-P FFS content when converting these modem
+ − modules to FreeCalypso.
+ −
+ − * New pcm-sms-decode utility can decode /pcm/SMS binary files read out of FFS
+ − maintained by certain firmwares (Pirelli DP-L10 is the prime use case),
+ − displaying the stored SMS content in human-readable form.
+ −
+ − Changes from fc-host-tools-r10 to fc-host-tools-r11:
+ −
+ − * Bugfix: the ability to override CFLAGS= from the top level (see INSTALL)
+ − has been fixed and now actually works as intended.
+ −
+ − * New developer utility fc-bin2rftab can read or extract RF parameter tables
+ − from binary files and convert them into our FreeCalypso ASCII format.
+ −
+ − * The way in which fc-loadtool handles different flash configurations has been
+ − completely redesigned; there should be no user impact on any previously
+ − supported target, but the new architecture makes it much easier to add
+ − support for new target devices and allows the possibility of different flash
+ − chip types (autodetected at run time) on the same -h target. See the new
+ − doc/Loadtool-flash-support article for the details.
+ −
+ − * fc-loadtool supports two new targets: Huawei GTM900 (-h gtm900) and
+ − Motorola W220 (-h w220).
+ −
+ − * Iota poweroff command in the target-utils suite (primarily affecting the
+ − loadagent target program used by loadtools) now programs the VRPCAUX register
+ − like TI's TCS211 firmware does before sending the DEVOFF command. This
+ − change fixes the erratic behaviour that was occurring on TI/FC development
+ − boards (D-Sample and FCDEV3B) when fc-loadtool (or fc-iram with some
+ − specialized target-utils program) was entered via the RESET button rather
+ − than PWON, followed by the soft poweroff operation and another switch-on via
+ − PWON. For more details, please refer to doc/Target-utils and the
+ − Calypso-test-reset article in the freecalypso-docs repository.
+ −
+ − * Aside from the just-described poweroff change, a lot of clean-up has been
+ − done throughout the target-utils suite: removed all use of bogo-millisecond
+ − delays which were previously copied from OsmocomBB; all programs with ABB
+ − access functionality can access the VRPCAUX register for manual debugging;
+ − helloapp clean-up; new watchdog experimentation commands in flash-boot-test;
+ − simtest no longer requires an explicit abbinit command. A new
+ − doc/Target-utils document has been written describing this target-utils
+ − suite.
+ −
+ − * Loadtools configuration for Mot C155/156 target (-h c155) fixed to use WS=4
+ − memory timing setting as used by the official fw on this hardware, as opposed
+ − to the previously-used WS=3 setting that was blindly copied from OsmocomBB.
+ −
+ − * fc-xram got a new -j option for JTAG mode; see doc/Loadtools-usage.
+ −
+ − * Documentation updates for the new bits of knowledge learned from the
+ − examination of a Sony Ericsson J100 phone: no code changes were needed to
+ − support flash manipulation and RF calibration data extraction on this model,
+ − but this is the first time the Mother got her hands on one of these phones,
+ − hence there was no documentation previously.
+ −
+ − Changes from fc-host-tools-r9a to fc-host-tools-r10:
+ −
+ − * For those who need to run our tools on a 64-bit host system (or more
+ − precisely, any system on which pointers are longer than the basic int type),
+ − the present release includes fixes for null pointer passing constructs
+ − throughout the code base. The original code was only correct for classic
+ − systems on which ints and pointers are equivalent for K&R C function argument
+ − passing purposes.
+ −
+ − * The back end program supporting fcup-* -R mode has been extended to support
+ − sending strings longer than 254 characters using the extended version of the
+ − AT-over-RVTMUX mechanism supported by newer firmwares - see the updates in
+ − the doc/User-phone-tools article. A new unterm command has been added to
+ − fc-shell for the same functionality.
+ −
+ − * New developer utility fc-rftab2c can convert per-band RF parameter tables
+ − into C code snippets for inclusion into FreeCalypso firmware sources.
+ −
+ − * New target utility calversion can sometimes identify unknown Calypso chip
+ − versions - see doc/Calypso-chip-versions.
+ −
+ − * New target utility simtest has been developed for the purpose of facilitating
+ − hardware troubleshooting - see doc/SIM-hardware-debugging.
+ −
+ − * The tiny (120 bytes) flash-boot-wa.srec code piece which has been removed in
+ − fc-host-tools-r9 has been reinstated; it is not currently needed for anything
+ − (it was originally developed as a workaround for a problem that only affected
+ − one single defective board), but removing previously-released functionality
+ − for no good reason is not the way of FOSS. See doc/Flash-boot-wa for more
+ − details.
+ −
+ − * Compilation and installation: the Makefile hierarchy has been reworked to
+ − allow CC= and CFLAGS= to be overridden from the top for the entire package,
+ − and also to allow installation in a staging location - see INSTALL.
+ −
+ − Changes from fc-host-tools-r9 to fc-host-tools-r9a:
+ −
+ − * fc-loadtool can now correctly program the flash on Mot C155/156 phones:
+ − it turns out that their flash is like the one on TI's D-Sample board
+ − and needs the same partition quirks.
+ −
+ − Changes from fc-host-tools-r8 to fc-host-tools-r9:
+ −
+ − * mokosrec2bin utility added: it was originally written as a reverse
+ − engineering aid and was previously maintained in the freecalypso-reveng
+ − repository, but it has since been repurposed into a legitimate development
+ − tool.
+ −
+ − * Added workarounds for FTDI USB-serial adapters that feed previously
+ − accumulated serial Rx bytes or outright garbage to newly started serial I/O
+ − programs:
+ −
+ − + fcup-atinterf back-end program for fcup-* does a sleep of 20 ms followed by
+ − tcflush(target_fd, TCIFLUSH) on startup to flush any previously accumulated
+ − serial Rx buffer garbage that would otherwise cause breakage. The two
+ − delays in the deep sleep wakeup logic (see doc/Deep-sleep-support) have been
+ − reduced from 50 to 30 ms each, thus the total length of initial delays has
+ − been reduced from 100 to 80 ms.
+ −
+ − + In the rvinterf suite (see doc/Rvinterf-tools) a similar startup delay has
+ − been added in the special corner case of a non-interactive one-shot
+ − operation being commanded with rvinterf also being launched from the client
+ − program with -p; see the "Startup synchronization hack" section in the new
+ − Rvinterf-tools document.
+ −
+ − * fcup-smdump now restores the character set selection (AT+CSCS) setting on the
+ − target to the default "IRA" (ASCII) upon successful completion, after
+ − initially setting it to "HEX" for the operation; the intent of this change is
+ − to avoid leaving a strange state for anyone using the AT command interface
+ − manually after fcup-smdump.
+ −
+ − * fcup-smsend bugfix: the corner case of omitting the destination address
+ − argument with -W now works as documented.
+ −
+ − * fcup-settime: minor code rearrangement should slightly reduce the unavoidable
+ − delay between the time retrieval on the host and that time being set on the
+ − target.
+ −
+ − * A hack that was added in fc-host-tools-r5 solely to support one (1) defective
+ − FCDEV3B board with a particular flash boot defect has been removed.
+ −
+ − * A number of documentation updates have been made: Deep-sleep-support and
+ − Rvinterf-tools articles are new, RVTMUX and TIFFS-Overview write-ups got
+ − long-overdue major updates, plus a number of minor updates as usual.
+ −
+ − * For those who build the rarely needed ARM7 gcc toolchain from source, an old
+ − bug in the toolchain/build+install.sh script which was masked on the Mother's
+ − Slackware system for some reason has been fixed.
+ −
+ − Changes from fc-host-tools-r7 to fc-host-tools-r8:
+ −
+ − * fc-loadtool can now correctly program the flash on TI's D-Sample board
+ − after implementing the needed quirk for the Intel 28F640W30B flash chip.
+ −
+ − * target-utils (loadagent and friends) serial output code changed to wait for
+ − the Tx FIFO not full condition instead of FIFO empty; this change makes these
+ − target utilities actually utilize the Tx FIFO feature of Calypso UARTs.
+ −
+ − * New c1xx-calextr utility can extract the factory RF calibration values for
+ − Mot C1xx phones from a dump of their flash; see doc/Compal-calibration.
+ −
+ − * Support for RF tables in FreeCalypso ASCII format (see doc/RF_tables) is
+ − more complete: there is an ASCII format for the full 512 byte Tx ramps table,
+ − any ASCII RF table can be converted to native binary with fc-cal2bin, most
+ − ASCII RF tables can be uploaded directly into FFS with fc-fsio's new
+ − upload-rf-table command.
+ −
+ − * fc-cal2text change: Tx ramps tables are now emitted in the new ASCII format
+ − with one file for the whole table, not split into 16 single ramp template
+ − files any more.
+ −
+ − * fc-fsio changes:
+ −
+ − + new write-battery-table and write-charging-config commands for uploading
+ − FreeCalypso-invented battery discharge threshold tables and charging config
+ − files into the FFS of our FC devices with built-in compilation to binary;
+ −
+ − + added upload-rf-table command for uploading ASCII RF tables directly into
+ − FFS with built-in compilation to binary;
+ −
+ − + pirelli-magnetite-init command now copies the previously missed
+ − /gsm/rf/afcdac record.
+ −
+ − * fc-tmsh can now upload audio FIR coefficient sets from FIR coefficient table
+ − files with the new auw-fir command.
+ −
+ − * The audio mode configurations that have been added in fc-host-tools-r7 have
+ − been moved to a separate fc-audio-config repository and are no longer a part
+ − of the core FC host tools package.
+ −
+ − * The UI development aid utility fc-lcdemu which has been excluded from the
+ − default build set since fc-host-tools-r5 has been moved to a separate
+ − freecalypso-ui-dev repository and is no longer a part of the core FC host
+ − tools package.
+ −
+ − * rvinterf -X mechanism which pipes LCD output to fc-lcdemu now always inverts
+ − the RGB565 values as needed, and the -v option has been removed; see usage
+ − documentation in the freecalypso-ui-dev repository.
+ −
+ − * fc-shell: added key command for sending sp MMI CONFIG KEY_SEQUENCE=<string>
+ − with a lot less typing, and keydown and keyup commands that do the same for
+ − KEY_PRESS and KEY_RELEASE "config" sysprim commands.
+ −
+ − * There is a new suite of tools for talking to the AT command interface
+ − provided by FreeCalypso phones and modems, primarily for sending and
+ − retrieving SMS - see doc/User-phone-tools for more info.
+ −
+ − Changes from fc-host-tools-r6 to fc-host-tools-r7:
+ −
+ − * The way in which loadtools, rvinterf and miscellaneous tools operate on
+ − serial ports for the purpose of talking to Calypso GSM devices has been
+ − majorly reworked: the serial port handling code has been factored out into
+ − libserial, and the new libserial uses Linux-specific direct ioctl calls
+ − instead of generic termios. The effect is that you can now use the GSM-
+ − specific high serial baud rates (up to 812500 bps) with FTDI adapters
+ − (like the FT2232D adapter commonly used with FCDEV3B) with the standard
+ − unpatched ftdi_sio kernel driver. See doc/High-speed-serial for more info.
+ −
+ − * Added new utilities tiaud-compile and tiaud-mkvol for generating *.cfg and
+ − *.vol binary files for the audio mode switching facility of TI's RiViera
+ − Audio Service, to be uploaded under /aud into FreeCalypso GSM devices.
+ −
+ − * A set of audio mode tables is built and installed in
+ − /opt/freecalypso/aud-fcdev3b for uploading into /aud on FCDEV3B boards.
+ −
+ − Changes from fc-host-tools-r5 to fc-host-tools-r6:
+ −
+ − * loadtools and rvinterf now set TIOCEXCL on the tty to prevent the common
+ − error scenario of multiple processes trying to read from the same serial
+ − port.
+ −
+ − * fc-loadtool: added a batch operation mode whereby the tool executes a given
+ − command script, cleans up (usually powers off) the target and exits.
+ −
+ − * fc-loadtool exec command: scripts without slashes in the given name are now
+ − sought in the current directory.
+ −
+ − * fc-fsio format command: if the FFS is already formatted, the tool now prints
+ − the error returned by the FFS code in the target fw, but does not stop the
+ − execution of scripts; this change makes production scripts rerun-able.
+ −
+ − * exitcodes.h file installed in /opt/freecalypso/include/rvinterf: added
+ − ERROR_RFFAIL definition for use by fc-rfcal-tools.
+ −
+ − Changes from fc-host-tools-r4 to fc-host-tools-r5:
+ −
+ − * New install location: everything is now under /opt/freecalypso instead of
+ − /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/share/freecalypso.
+ −
+ − * loadtools: added support for dsample (TI D-Sample) and fcfam (FreeCalypso
+ − hardware family starting with FCDEV3B) targets.
+ −
+ − * loadagent: UART autodetection now works not only with Calypso boot ROM
+ − version 0300 found in the common Calypso devices, but also with the older
+ − version 0200 found in the older Calypso silicon on early D-Sample boards.
+ −
+ − * loadtools support for C139/140 target: use -h compal -c 1004 command line
+ − options instead of the previous -h compal -c 1003 to support the newer
+ − versions of C139/140 boot code which expect "1004" instead of the more
+ − familiar "1003" in the serially downloaded code image. The new -c 1004
+ − option ("1004" signature bytes) should work with all currently known
+ − Mot/Compal boot code versions, thus -c 1003 is retained only for backward
+ − compatibility with existing usage.
+ −
+ − * fc-fsio: one can now type ls -l and not just the ll shorthand,
+ − pirelli-get-imei and pirelli-magnetite-init commands added (former
+ − fc-getpirimei and fc-pirhackinit separate utilities absorbed into fc-fsio),
+ − help facility added.
+ −
+ − * fc-tmsh changes:
+ −
+ − + fc-tmsh now takes the -p option and supports one-shot command invokation
+ − like fc-fsio and fc-shell;
+ −
+ − + added support for L1/RF test mode commands and other TM3 protocol commands
+ − (omr, omw, oabbr, oabbw, tm3ver);
+ −
+ − + added ETM_AUDIO commands aul, aus, aur and auw.
+ −
+ − * fc-olddump renamed to fc-memdump, can now use either TM3 or ETM memory read
+ − commands.
+ −
+ − * tiffs: added -O option to parse FFS images from the ancient 20020917 firmware
+ − on the D-Sample.
+ −
+ − * New in vitro analysis utilities: fc-cal2text and tiaud-decomp.
+ −
+ − * Added tools for working with ringtone melodies: fc-e1decode and fc-e1gen for
+ − loudspeaker melodies (see doc/Melody_E1) and fc-buzplay (plus target-side
+ − buzplayer.srec) for devices that use a piezoelectric buzzer.
+ −
+ − * rvinterf: added support for the keepalive mechanism, see the description in
+ − doc/RVTMUX.
+ −
+ − * rvinterf & fc-shell: added support for the experimental TCH rerouting feature
+ − of FreeCalypso Citrine firmware.
+ −
+ − * fc-fr2tch, fc-gsm2vm, fc-tch2fr, fc-vm2hex: new utilities for converting
+ − GSM 06.10 FR codec bits between different formats.
+ −
+ − * c139explore & pirexplore: added host shell script wrappers invoking
+ − fc-compalram and fc-iram with the respective target binaries.
+ −
+ − * Internal cleanup and refactoring in various places.
+ −
+ − Changes from fc-host-tools-r3 to fc-host-tools-r4:
+ −
+ − * Shellcode-based Compal phone break-in utility tfc139 reworked in a new way
+ − that should work with all Mot C1xx firmwares beyond the original TFC139
+ − target: see doc/Compal-unlock and doc/TFC139-breakin for the details.
+ −
+ − * Documentation and cosmetic code changes to reflect the new understanding of
+ − TI's TM (Test Mode) predating ETM (Enhanced Test Mode): see doc/RVTMUX for
+ − a detailed explanation.
+ −
+ − * Added support for the old non-enhanced Test Mode memory read command in the
+ − form of fc-tmsh omr command, fc-fsio omemdump command and fc-olddump utility.
+ −
+ − * rvtdump and rvinterf recognize the old all-ASCII GPF trace format emitted by
+ − the D-Sample firmware from 20020917 and print these traces as ASCII instead
+ − of hex.
+ −
+ − * fc-dspapidump fixed to be independent of host byte order.
