The pcb is labelled with "T60N925", and the Foxconn internal project name seems to be "T60N925.00".[[BR]]

There are no schematics of this phone, however, steve-m has grinded down one of those boards, see the pictures of all layers [http://www.steve-m.de/pictures/pirelli_dpl10/ here].

=== RF path ===

Since this phone is a tripleband design, it uses 3 rx filters, connected to the respective Rita inputs:
48
49
 * Epcos B7820 for GSM900
50
 * Epcos B7821 for DCS1800
51
 * Epcos B7851 for DCS1900
52

Those are connected to an unknown "T 636 / 5475" antenna switch. The pinout of this switch however is identical with the Panasonic [http://www.panasonic.com/industrial/components/pdf/AEA0000CE1.pdf EZFL897TB11C].
54 6 steve-m
The control voltage inputs of the switch are connected to the TSPACT outputs of the Calypso DBB through a Fairchild NC7NZ34 triple-buffer.

=== Phone as clock generator ===
59
60
The idea to use an OsmocomBB-driven phone as an accurate clock source, e.g. for the USRP, by synchronizing the clock to a cell of a commercial operator was [http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/baseband-devel/2010-April/000322.html discussed] on the mailing list a while back. Since the USRP needs an input clock of 52MHz, but the Compal-phones only expose 13 and 26MHz, an external PLL would be required. The DP-L10 however exposes the MCLK/TSPACT11 pin of the Calypso, which is connected through the triple-buffer to the GSM900 TX/Vc3 input of the antenna switch, and thus easily accessible. When the corresponding bit in the MCU_SW_TRACE register is set, this pin outputs the 52MHz clock being fed to the ARM-core, which is phase-locked to the VCTCXO.  See the blue circuit path in the picture above.
61
62
This is the output captured with a 100MHz scope (and thus limited):[[BR]][[BR]]

After synchronizing to a cell with the phone, the frequency error measured by the DSP is in the 0-10Hz range.

A nice feature of this phone is that it already has an integrated Silabs CP210x USB-UART, which is supported by Linux. Even faster, odd baudrates of the Calypso DBB are supported by this chip, including the maximum 812.500 baud.

Most of the phones seem to use USB vid:pid 0489:e003, which is mainline since Linux 2.6.36 (~~thus, older kernels need to be patched, the cp210x driver doesn't seem to take the vid/pid via modprobe parameters~~).

72 11 steve-m
As someone pointed out on the mailing list, you can do the following for Kernels < 2.6.36:
73
74
{{{
75
# modprobe -v cp210x
76
# echo "0489 e003" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/cp210x/new_id
77
}}}

The DP-L10 has the CalypsoRomloader enabled.

All JTAG lines, as well as the second uart (UART_MODEM), go to the unpopulated connector next to the display connector.

== State of support ==

The code which adds support for the Pirelli DP-L10 can be found in master, however, there's still one thing that hasn't been resolved: The DP-L10 uses the UART_IRDA for sercomm, while the Compal phones use UART_MODEM. Therefore you need to swap the values of CONS_UART_NR and SERCOMM_UART_NR in /firmware/include/console.h and /firmware/include/comm/sercomm.h.

Lots of drivers are still missing, like for the display, correct keypad layout etc. Maybe someone even wants to play with Wifi ;)

What works:
107
 * RX/TX in GSM900 and DCS1800 (PCS1900 should work as well, at least regarding the rffe config)
108
 * audio path
109
 * SIM-reader
110
 * keypad backlight
