DFU: add DFU application

this adds the DFU as application, allowing to flash the bootloader.
a USB DFU alternative is added to flash the bootloader partition.

when the DFU is started as bootloader, the partition/alternative
to flash the bootloader is marked as "not available", and
ineffective.
the same happens for the application partition when DFU is started
as application.

this distinction is make at compile time, not at runtime, because
of size restrictions (the bootloader was already close to the
16 kB limit).
*_dfu_flash.bin should not be mixed with *_dfu_dfu.bin.
*_dfu_dfu.bin should be flashed as application using the already
existing DFU bootloader.
once this images is started (as application), the *_dfu_flash.bin
should be flashed as bootloader using the DFU application.

once the DFU bootloader has been flashed, soft resetting
(not re-powering) will cause the bootloader to start, allowing to
flash the application with a normal image (e.g. not DFU),
replacing the DFU application.
this switch to DFU only happens after downloading (e.g. flashing).

it is planned to have the DFU application erase itself after
flashing, but this is currently not implemented.

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.

This is under heavy development, and right now it is not surprising if things still break on a daily basis.

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

At this point, the primary development target is still the OWHW + sysmoQMOD device, but we expect to add support for a SAM3 based SIMtrace hardware board soon.

The goal is to support the following devices:

  • 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
