The main issue with osmocomBB is that it requires a GNU/Linux host
computer to run.
While the layer1 runs on the modem, the layer3 currently requires a
GNU/Linux computer to run on.
Even on a smartphone this isn't great as you cannot keep the
application processor suspended anymore, else you would loose calls.
I guess that it would have taken less work to make OsmocomBB usable as
a feature phone or smartphone modem firmware.
I tried to convince the main person behind FreeCalypso to do exactly
that, without success.
Given that devices[1] supported by Replicant:
- Don't have a free software bootloader
- Don't have free software WiFi firmware
- Don't have mainline Linux and bootloader support
It is currently more urgent in my TODO list than finishing the port of
OsmocomBB to Nuttx.

has no Replicant port at all and even lacks many features in
upstream Linux(such as display support).
