Last, but not least, I am proud to announce the OsmocomBB project publicly. During the last
7 weeks, a small group of skilled developers has been working on this

It has now reached a point where we can

• scan the spectrum for the strongest signal GSM channels
• lock onto them and performing AFC (automatic frequency control)
• decode the SCH burst to obtain BSIC and GSM frame time
• decode the BCCH of the cell, pass it over to the host PC and feed it into
  wireshark

Since this in itself is a valuable and useful milestone of the project,
it was the ideal opportunity to take this project public.

There’s still a lot of work to be done in many areas. Most of them are not
even related to the GSM air interface. So if you’re familiar with C
development on an ARM7TDMI based microcontroller, know your way around
I2C and SPI, are familiar with the GNU toolchain for ARM and want to
help us out: Please join the baseband-devel mailing
list right away!
