** Install UHD

git clone https://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd

cd uhd

git tag -l

...

release_003_009_004

release_003_009_005

release_003_010_000_000

# Example: For UHD 3.10.2.0: 

then type this command :  

git checkout release_003_010_002_000 (get the latest is fine)

then build: 

cd host

mkdir build

cd build 

cmake ../

make

sudo make install

sudo ldconfig

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

----now find UHD:

uhd_find_devices

** Install SoapySDR and SoapyUHD 

git clone https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDR.git

cd SoapySDR

mkdir build

cd build

cmake ..

make

sudo make install

sudo ldconfig

git clone https://github.com/pothosware/SoapyUHD

cd SoapyUHD

mkdir build

cd build

cmake ..

make

sudo make install

sudo ldconfig

----try run command to find LimeSDR :

SoapySDRUtil --find

next....

BUILD OSMO-TRX

mkdir osmo

cd osmo

git clone https://github.com/osmocom/osmo-trx.git

cd osmo-trx

autoreconf -fi

./configure

make -j5

make check

sudo make install

sudo ldconfig

run on terminal: (too see its connect with SoapyUHD and UHD)

osmo-trx-uhd

next …..

</pre>

h1. OSMOCOM OpenBSC building with all stacks

NOW INSTALLING “ASTERISK & OSMO-SIP-CONNECTOR"

<pre>

--Install dependencies:

The extension we are about to make requires to install some additional packages.

sudo apt-get install libsofia-sip-ua-glib-dev

sudo apt-get install asterisk

--Install osmo-sip-connector:

cd osmo

git clone git://git.osmocom.org/osmo-sip-connector.git

cd osmo-sip-connector

autoreconf -fi

./configure

make

sudo make install $$ sudo ldconfig

setting path for configuration

gedit ~/osmo/openbsc.cfg (file attached)

gedit ~/osmo/osmo-bts.cfg (file attached)

gedit ~/osmo/osmo-sip-connector.cfg (file attached)

--Asterisk configuration

The following section will discuss a minimal Asterisk configuration that is able to route calls between mobile phones. The described case assumes a freshly installed Asterisk with virgin configuration files. In the following we will edit extensions.conf and sip.conf which can be found in the /etc/asterisk directory. The example below is not special to GSM, its rather a normal SIP-trunk configuration.

Set up the sip-trunk towards osmo-sip-connector:

The first that has to be taken care of is the connection to osmo-sip-connector. The following lines need be appended to sip.conf:

cd /etc/asterisk/

sudo gedit sip.conf

[GSM]

type=friend

host=127.0.0.1

dtmfmode=rfc2833

canreinvite=no

disallow=all

allow=gsm

context=gsmsubscriber

port=5069   

noted : (changing port with 5062 or 5060 if 5069 not working)

The connection is named GSM, this name will be used later to reference the connection when routing outgoing calls. The context name “gsmsubscriber” references the context where mobile originated calls are routed into the dialplan. 

Set up a dialplan to route calls:

Now Asterisk and osmo-sip-connector are connected. The following example introduces a very basic dialplan configuration to route calls between mobile phones. The following example can be added to extensions.conf:

cd /etc/asterisk

sudo gedit extensions.conf

[gsmsubscriber]

exten=>_XXXXX,1,Dial(SIP/GSM/${EXTEN})

exten=>_XXXXX,n,HangUp

</pre>

NOW HOW TO RUN OPENBSC STACKS:

<pre>

** open terminal 

run:

osmo-nitb -c ~/osmo/openbsc.cfg -l ~/osmo/hlr.sqlite3 -P -C --debug=DRLL:DCC:DMM:DRR:DRSL:DNM -M /tmp/bsc_mncc

open new terminal

run:

osmo-bts-trx -c ~/osmo/osmo-bts.cfg

open new terminal

run:

osmo-sip-connector -c ~/osmo/osmo-sip-connector.cfg

open new terminal

run:

sudo asterisk -r

open new terminal

run:

osmo-trx-uhd -C ~/osmo/limesdr.cfg

open new terminal

run:

telnet localhost 4242

enable

</pre>

Now you running OpenBSC with Asterisk :-)
