However, all such software is designed to run on the Application +Processor (AP) only. The actual GSM protocol stack and RF Modem drivers are +running as firmware on a completely different processor: The Baseband Processor +(BP). + +OsmocomBB is a project developing the worlds first Free Software GSM protocol +stack for the mobile phone side. It includes the hardare drivers for one +particular GSM baseband processor chipset and replaces the vendor-provided +firmware on compatible chipsets/phones. + +The presentation will introduce the challenges of doing this development in +the environment of the arguably most closed part of the semiconductor industry, +describe the software architecture and give a practical demonstration. |
