Talk:DECT

Xopr 16:48, 7 May 2011 (CEST) Prodigity and I tried to compile the dedected code, without any luck.

I read that an ubuntu 10.10 still would work, but still no juice after such fresh installation.

Next, I tried to compile the osmocom hosted dect kernel stack from Patrick McHardy aka kaber. Quickly tried it on my laptop, but got segfaults, which of I'm not surprised since I'm using a 64bit OS.

Built it on an Ununtu 10.x box, and besides the fact that I'm in a fight with the grub 'automagic' mkconfig, I'm able to boot it:

xopr@persephone:~/libdect-HEAD-8dabcb3/example$ uname -a
Linux persephone 2.6.38+ #2 SMP Thu May 5 00:18:37 CEST 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
xopr@persephone:~/libdect-HEAD-8dabcb3/example$ lsmod|grep dect
dect_ccf               32969  0 
dect_csf               46722  2 com_on_air_cs,com_on_air
dect                   12426  2 dect_ccf,dect_csf

Then, I tried to build the git repositories, but since osmocom's git is corrupted, I had to download snapshots

After compiling the custom libnl (with some warnings about return values), I moved to libdect, and it gives me this: -without libnl2 (+dev) (netlink) installed, example tools give the following error:

xopr@persephone:~/libdect-HEAD-8dabcb3/example$ ./fp-cc 
dect_netlink_init: Object not found
dect_init: Socket operation on non-socket

which happens in the 'dect_common_init' call

however, with libnl2 installed, compiling and linking libdect, I get:

/usr/bin/ld: warning: libnl.so.3, needed by //usr/local/lib/libnl-dect.so, may conflict with libnl.so.2

as linker warnings, and the example tools say:

xopr@persephone:~/libdect-HEAD-8dabcb3/example$ ./fp-cc 
dect_netlink_init: Unspecific failure
dect_init: Socket operation on non-socket

Xopr 20:26, 19 May 2011 (CEST) ik schakel ff over op nederlands; typt wat sneller: Ondertussen ben ik er achter gekomen dat de driver, met name de com_on_air_cs niet succesvol geladen wordt in de kernel. Ik krijg een null pointer reference exception, en verder tast ik zelf ook in het duister, dus ik heb maar een ticket aangemaakt in de hoop dat er iets mee gedaan kan worden. zie dect.osmocom.org/trac/dect/ticket/21 Dit is voor mij even afwachten nu, maar iemand die t ziet, mag t zeggen ;)
