Overview
What is gsmd
Gsmd is a daemon that handles the communication between applications and GSM modem. Applications control gsmd through libgsmd. libgsmd communicates with gsmd through unix socket, and modem goes through Uart. The diagram is as following.

Gsmd
GSMD is a event driven daemon. Each event shall has a response. Every event will pass through the gsmd_select_main() in which finding and executing their correspond call back functions.
The last part of gsmd main function enters a infinite loop, trying to call gsmd_select_main.
while(1) {
int ret = gsmd_select_main();
...
}
gsmd_select_main()
gsmd_select_main this is core of the call back function scheme. All devices, gsmd monitors and linked in a list, are described as a struct gsmd_fd, and gsmd_select_main will select them. Once an event comes out from one of the devices, gsmd_select_main will try to call it's call back function that devices registered.
int gsmd_select_main()
{
struct gsmd_fd *ufd, *ufd2;
fd_set readset, writeset, exceptset;
int i;
FD_ZERO(&readset);
FD_ZERO(&writeset);
FD_ZERO(&exceptset);
/* prepare read and write fdsets */
llist_for_each_entry(ufd, &gsmd_fds, list) {
if (ufd->when & GSMD_FD_READ)
FD_SET(ufd->fd, &readset);
if (ufd->when & GSMD_FD_WRITE)
FD_SET(ufd->fd, &writeset);
if (ufd->when & GSMD_FD_EXCEPT)
FD_SET(ufd->fd, &exceptset);
}
i = select(maxfd+1, &readset, &writeset, &exceptset, NULL);
if (i > 0) {
/* call registered callback functions */
llist_for_each_entry_safe(ufd, ufd2, &gsmd_fds, list) {
int flags = 0;
if (FD_ISSET(ufd->fd, &readset))
flags |= GSMD_FD_READ;
if (FD_ISSET(ufd->fd, &writeset))
flags |= GSMD_FD_WRITE;
if (FD_ISSET(ufd->fd, &exceptset))
flags |= GSMD_FD_EXCEPT;
if (flags)
ufd->cb(ufd->fd, flags, ufd->data);
}
}
return i;
}
gsmd_fd
struct gsmd_fd {
struct llist_head list;
int fd; /* file descriptor */
unsigned int when;
int (*cb)(int fd, unsigned int what, void *data);
void *data; /* void * to pass to callback */
};
When there are anything change in fd, the gsmd_select_main will detect them and try to call it's call back function cb.
That means if you redirect the cb to another implementation, the gsmd will behave very differently.
gsmd_atcmd
struct gsmd_atcmd {
struct llist_head list;
void *ctx;
int (*cb)(struct gsmd_atcmd *cmd, void *ctx, char *resp);
char *resp;
int32_t ret;
u_int32_t buflen;
u_int16_t id;
u_int8_t flags;
char *cur;
char buf[];
};
call back functions
Gsmd will open at least one devices. One is uart to modem and others are the Unix socket, communicating with libgsmd.
atcmd_select_cb is the default call back function that dealing the uart to the modem. It will handle sending AT command to modem or receive whatever return from modem and send them into parser.
The default parser call back function of uart (to modem) is ml_parse, in which dealing with reading the response of modem dispatch the correct call back function to handle the response.
atcmd_select_cb
atcmd_fill
atcmd_submit
ml_parse
ml_parse is the parser call back function that handles:
- Initial GSM Modem
- handle correspond AT command call back
- handle notification call back
initial GSM Modem
When the modem firmware is ready to initial, it will send AT-Command Interpreter ready to gsmd. If ml_parse get this string, gsmd will try to initialize the modem.
if (strlen(buf) == 0 ||
!strcmp(buf, "AT-Command Interpreter ready")) {
g->interpreter_ready = 1;
gsmd_initsettings(g);
gmsd_alive_start(g);
return 0;
}
What modem write to gsmd will put in "buf". And if the contents of the "buf" is "AT-Command Interpreter ready" the automatic gsmd initialize will start.
gsmd_alive_start is a scheme that gsmd detect if the modem is still alive or not. It will send an "AT" to modem periodically, and check the modem's response.
