firmware/sniffer: Add + use 16bit ringbuffer

So far, we use a uint8_t ring buffer as "FIFO" between USART Rx
interrupt and main context.  That's fine for expressing the bytes we
receive.  However, if we also want to report USART errors synchronously
in that stream, we actually need more bits to express those.

Reporting USART errors via the ring buffer is the only way how the
sniffer code can know in which TPDU the error occurred.  Reporting them
any other way (global variable, ...) would loose the timing relationship
where in the received stream the error occurred.

This change just changes the ringbuffer from 1024-entry 8bit to
512-entry 16bit and doesn't add any error reporting.

SIMtrace v2.0

This is the repository for the next-generation SIMtrace devices, providing abilities to trace the communication between (U)SIM card and phone, remote (U)SIM card forward, (U)SIM man-in-the-middle, and more.

NOTE: Nothing in this repository applies to the SIMtrace v1.x hardware or its associated firmware. SIMtrace v1.x is based on a different CPU / microcontroller architecture and uses a completely different software stack and host software.

Supported Hardware

  • Osmocom SIMtrace 1.x with SAM3 controller ** this is open hardware and schematics / PCB design is published
  • sysmocom sysmoQMOD (with 4 Modems, 4 SIM slots and 2 SAM3) ** this is a proprietary device, publicly available from sysmocom
  • sysmocom OWHW (with 2 Modems and 1 SAM3 onboard) ** this is not publicly available hardware, but still supported

This Repository

This repository contains several directory

  • firmware - the firmware to run on the actual devices
  • hardware - some information related to the hardware
  • host - Programs to use on the USB host to interface with the hardware

The host software includes

  • libosmo-simtrace2 - a shared library to talk to devices running the simtrace2 firmware
  • simtrace2-list - list any USB-attached devices running simtrace2 firmware
  • simtrace2-sniff - interface the 'trace' firmware to obtain card protocol traces
  • simtrace2-cardem-pcsc - interface the 'cardem' fimrware to use a SIM in a PC/SC reader
