Mados programming questions

[Blootoon]

Hi,
I was just wandering if it would be possible to run the mados software IN the nokia software as the phone cannot recieve calls or msgs as the nokia software is off and mados is on.

Or could mados load the nokia software when a call comes in so that i dont have a dead phone while mados is on.

Hope it makes sense to you

Thanks,

No, I don't think that's possible because MADos is in C and nokia in ARM....

2 whole different OS'es

Not possible

both were written in C and are compiled to ARM...
the problem is we dont have a gsm stack..
we even dont have the information how to set up the receiver...

Well, with the work I did on OpenGPA, an open source GSM stack should be closer to reality than ever before.

Setting up the receiver is a neightmare though, I have information on doing it but it hasn't worked yet. (is a lot of work, and my time is very limited right now)

What mode is MADos compiled? ARM or Thumb

[g3gg0]

completely thumb mode
except the init code

[BOEBOE]

Why not in complete ARM?

I believe that ARM mode is faster then thumb mode

Or isn't that possible?

no, THUMB opcodes have the same cycle time as the equivalent ARM instructions, but are smaller (16bit instead of 32bit)
