Getting started

What

Driver for Fibocom L850-GL / Intel XMM7360 (PCI ID 8086:7360).

Please see DEVICES.md a list of devices this has been tested on.

How

Please see INSTALLING.md for details on how to setup this driver on your system.

Dependencies

• build-essential
• python3-pyroute2
• python3-configargparse

Status

This release supports native IP.

To test:

• sudo pip install --user pyroute2 ConfigArgParse
• make && make load
• If your sim has pin enabled, run echo "AT+CPIN=\"0000\"" | sudo tee -a /dev/ttyXMM1. Replace 0000 with your pin code.
• sudo python3 rpc/open_xdatachannel.py --apn your.apn.here (or you can create the xmm7360.ini from the sample and edit the apn)
• pray (if applicable)

If your sim has pin enabled, run echo "AT+CPIN=\"0000\"" | sudo tee -a /dev/ttyXMM1. Replace 0000 with your pin code.

You should receive a wwan0 interface, with an IP, and a default route.

Next

Involvement from someone involved in modem control projects like ModemManager would be welcome to shape the kernel interfaces so it's not too horrible to bring up.

Power management support is absent. The modem, as configured, turns off during suspend, and needs to be reconfigured on resume.
