When men were real men and typed their own AT commands...

This is a short guide how to manually get GSM going.

Contents

Requirements

  • GTA01Bv2 or GTA01Bv3 with very recent u-boot bootloader, providing usbtty (serial over USB) support)
  • Do not connect any debug board!

Walk-Through

Booting the system

  • Make sure the rootfs you use has 'auto usb0' in /etc/network/interfaces
  • Configure the host's usb0 interface to 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0
  • ssh to root@192.168.0.201

Disabling the getty

Our default images all have a getty running on /dev/ttySAC0, please edit /etc/inittab and disable the getty on that port

Reducing the loglevel

NOTE: You don't need this in kernel builds with patchset ≥ 1288


To keep the kernel from writing to /dev/ttySAC0, you need to use dmesg -n1.

Powering up the GSM Modem

  • verify there is no getty or any other app running on /dev/ttySAC0
root@fic-gta01:~$ lsof | grep ttySAC0
  • power-up the GSM Modem
root@fic-gta01:~$ echo "1" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-gsm.0/power_on
  • change permissions on ttySAC0
root@fic-gta01:~$ chown uucp.uucp /dev/ttySAC0
  • setup /usr/spool/uucp
root@fic-gta01:~$ mkdir /usr/spool
root@fic-gta01:~$ mkdir /usr/spool/uucp
root@fic-gta01:~$ chown uucp.uucp /usr/spool/uucp
  • access the GSM Modem UART
root@fic-gta01:~$ cu -l /dev/ttySAC0
Connected.
AT-Command Interpreter Ready
OK

Using it manually

Registering with the Network

AT+COPS

Anwering an incoming call

ATA

Dialling an outgoing call

Hanging up

ATH
OK

Using gsmd

You can use the gsmd and libgsmd-util programs to have a slightly more high-level interface to the GSM Modem. It's still console based, though.

For further instructions, see gsmd

Personal tools

This is a short guide how to manually get GSM going.
