This is a big patch that ports openBSC over libosmo-abis.
Sorry, the changes that are included here are all dependent
of libosmo-abis, splitting them into smaller pieces would
leave the repository in some intermediate state, which is
not desired.
The main changes are:
- The directory libabis/ has been removed as it now lives in
libosmo-abis.
- new configuration file format for nanoBTS and HSL femto, we
need to define the virtual e1_line and attach it to the OML
link.
- all the existing BTS drivers (nanoBTS, hsl femto, Nokia site,
BS11 and rbs2000) now use the new libosmo-abis framework.
- use r232 input driver available in libosmo-abis for bs11_config.
- use ipa_msg_recv instead of old ipaccess_read_msg function.
- delete definition of gsm_e1_subslot and input_signal_data.
These structures now lives in libosmo-abis.
Most of this patch are deletions of libabis/ which has been
moved to libosmo-abis.
This patch also modifies openBSC to use all the new definitions
available in libosmocore and libosmo-abis. In order to do that,
we have replaced the following:
- DINP, DMI, DMIB and DMUX by their respective DL* correspondences.
- SS_GLOBAL by SS_L_GLOBAL
- SS_INPUT by SS_L_INPUT
- S_GLOBAL_SHUTDOWN by S_L_GLOBAL_SHUTDOWN
- SS_INPUT by SS_L_INPUT
- S_INP_* by S_L_INP_* sub-signals
- E1INP_NODE by L_E1INP_NODE vty node
This patch has been tested with:
- one nanoBTS
- the HSL femto with the examples available under libosmo-abis
- BS11 with both dahdi and misdn drivers.
This patch modifies openBSC code to use msg->dst which stores the
pointer to the signalling link structure instead of the pointer to
the transceiver structure.
This patch prepares the introduction of libosmo-abis.
The Nokia metrosite BTS seem to keep the channels open indefinitely.
If osmo-nitb is restarted while one of the channel was still active
and tries to activate that channel again the bts would return a
CHANNEL ACTIVATE NACK with "Radio channel already activated". This
accumulated over the restarts so soon enough no more channels were
available.
This patch sends a release request to the bts so the channel
becomes available again.
The timer callback will simply reset the lchan state to NONE in order
to prevent channels getting stuck in 'activation requested' or
'deactivation requested' states.
This fixes a bug introduced more than one year ago in commit
e38bd6caa34005816a9336f021fd17d328d5c901:
The RSL_IE_CHAN_IDENT is a TLV, but the GSM48_IE_CHANDESC_2 contained in
it, is a mere TV type IE with fixed length.
The problem specifically has caused problems on Nokia MetroSite BTS,
which apparently read the TSC out of this Layer3 IE.
libosmogsm is a new library that is distributed in the libosmocore.
Now, openbsc depends on it. This patch gets openbsc with this
change.
This patch also rewrites all include path to the new
osmocom/[gsm|core]

It seems HSL has fixed most of their obvious issues in the SR1.0.1
release. However, this creates quite an incompatibility of the
protocol, and we have to adapt accordingly
The HSL Femtocell seems to be a poor man implementation of the
ip.access Abis/IP protocol, but cutting corners wherever possible.
We try to workaround those corners wherever possible...
