BH PinePhone don't have the modem's `STATUS` pin connected to the SoC, and as such require using `libusb` for checking the modem power state. We didn't handle this case previously due to lack of on-device testing, causing BH phones to fail with newer versions. This patch ignores the `status` GPIO for devices relying on `libusb`, which are only pre-CE PinePhones.
eg25-manager - Quectel EG25 management daemon
eg25-manager
is a daemon for managing the Quectel EG25 modem found on the
Pine64 PinePhone.
It implements the following features:
- cleanly power on/off the modem
- configure/check essential parameters (such as the audio format) on startup
- monitor the modem state through ModemManager
- put the modem in low-power mode when suspending the system, and restore it back to normal behavior when resuming
- monitor the modem state on resume and recover it if needed
Dependencies
eg25-manager
requires the following development libraries:
- libglib2.0-dev
- libgpiod-dev
- libmm-glib-dev
Building
eg25-manager
uses meson as its build system. Building and installing
eg25-manager
is as simple as running the following commands:
$ meson ../eg25-build
$ ninja -C ../eg25-build
# ninja -C ../eg25-build install
Configuration
eg25-manager
uses device-specific configuration files, named after the
device-tree compatible
field. These files are installed to
/usr/share/eg25-manager
. They can be copied to /etc/eg25-manager
then
modified, that way they won't be overwritten during an upgrade.
Running
eg25-manager
is usually run as a systemd service, but can also be
manually started from the command-line (requires root privileges):
# eg25manager
