If a user created a custom config file and we added new fields in a newer version, `eg25-manager` will crash by assuming all config files are complete and up-to-date. Moreover, creating a custom config, even to change only one option, required copying a complete default config file and then editing the relevant field(s). This could lead to issues when upgrading, as default values of fields unrelated to the user change could be modified and not applied to the user config. This patch addresses both these issues by: * making sure at least one config file exists * requiring only the "default" config file (the one under `/usr/share`) to include all the required fields * trying to use user config for each field, falling back to the default config file if the field isn't present in the user config * exiting with a meaningful error message in case the default config file is missing a required field or section That way, it will be possible to have a minimal user config file containing only the field(s) needing a different value than the default one, falling back to the values in the default config file. Fixes #23
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
