Please advice - C115 FMTOOL - Ramloader Aborted

[Raz Sharif]

Dear Folks, After much deliberation and waiting I finally rxed a C115 and
the T1 Cable USB. I am running Backtrack 5 and have compiled the Osmocomm
bundles and all executable seem to be present.

When i plug om the Jack cable and press the power switch i get this :-

~/osmocom-bb/osmocom-bb/src/host/osmocon# ./osmocon -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -m
c123xor ../../target/firmware/board/compal_e88/layer1.compalram.bin

Hi Raz,

I have a c115 as well and I use the option -i 10 to load layer1.
Anyway, with one of my cables I had problems at the beginning, until I
realized that the plastic around the jack was impeding
the jack from being properly plugged in. I cut it off and now it works.

regards,
Loretta

This option doesn't have any influence on the Compal ramloader code, it
is only used for setting the beacon interval in the Calypso/MTK
romloader mode.

Maybe your machine is too slow, but you could try this:

http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/baseband-devel/2011-February/001407.html

I'm not sure if the patch still applies correctly though.

If that doesn't work, here's another thing to try:

Hi,

As I mailed before I also have a non working C115, but I have 3 working
so I have something to compare. I suspect a hardware problem on my side,
but I tried your tips

No it doesn't but I compiled it and it did not help me.

Tried that too without result.

I also confirmed by breaking the TX line to the phone (from the PC) that
this error (FTMTOOL error) then also happens. So it can also be caused
by a faulty cable, faulty connector or blown UART pin on the Calypso.

Best regards,

Yes, in your case I'd say the RX line of your third phone is somehow
broken as well.
