[Commotion-dev] commotion openbts iso

[Dan Staples]

Hi Robert,

Glad to hear the udev rule fixed that issue!

As for the openbtscli problem, I would suggest looking at the OpenBTS
documentation. It's certainly possible that the scripts included in the
live distro don't properly start OpenBTS if the device installation
didn't go as expected. For reference you can check our installation
script[1], and the script we use to start OpenBTS and the other services[2].

Sorry I can't be more helpful, it's been a while since I've played with
the live image...

Dan
