Technicavolous Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 So far I've been able to get just about everything running with Armbian but I just haven't got my head around routing a usb / mpci 4g modem. I clearly see it's a ttyACM0 device, I can see it's a USB connection in nmtui, ifconfig shows it as usb0 interface. I think the hardware is good and Armbian is talking to it fine. Can someone point me to a tutorial somewhere that would turn the light on for a first time try at routing data from a cellular modem? I'm using a clearfog pro but I also have an espressobin. The modem is a U-Blox MPCI-L201 and I imagine should work on either board. I'm probably just not putting the right questions to uncle google ...

sfx2000 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Check the data sheet... https://www.u-blox.com/sites/default/files/MPCI-L2_DataSheet_(UBX-13004749).pdf You need to configure the modem itself correctly - it can be either a serial (over USB) or NDIS The u-Blox stuff is pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technicavolous Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Hey thanks!! I've torn through that, overwhelmed by 900+ pages in the AT command set manual as well as the examples ... I'm missing something stupid basic ... how do I get a terminal to do the at commands in the first place?? A good pointer would be awesome. I'm assuming /dev/ttyACM0 with a terminal program? [screen / minicom etc] Once it clicks I'm sure I'll be off and running ;] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serial name : /dev/ttyACM0 Baut rate : 115200 (or another baut rate) It looks like you need a serial connection, but I'm not an expert (in nothing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More questions come about but now I can ask unkle G ;] Using the AT command set I should be able to edit one of the .sh files for the ublox. One thing I see in the data sheet is that part numbers ending in 00 don't support https ... this may be a show stopper for the most part. Gotta love those asterisks.

Technicavolous Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 BTW on the clearfog download page it shows tested hardware Huawei ME909s - can someone point me to the setting for that one? I imagine almost everything but the vendor id's will be close enough to get started with. Looks like I need to establish a consistent interface name configure the modem set the interface set the route to the other ports Couple days more reading ;] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's plug and play. Type armbian-config and if it is plugged you will have "Enabled/disable LTE"https://github.com/armbian/config/blob/master/debian-config-functions-network#L36-L86 3 hours ago, Technicavolous said: More questions come about but now I can ask unkle G ;] @Stanislav Sinyagin is the man behind this and if he is around he can tell you more.
