Main thing that's required to get modem hot-swapping to work is the
UDCONF=50,1 command(see u-blox AT-command manual). But there are a lot
of u-blox modules which do not support this command. So in this patch,
it's supposed that this thing is configured beforehand(Like the UUSBCONF
functioning mode) for modules, where SIM hot-swaping feature is
possible. For the modems where it's not, the patch will not have any effects.
----
For ublox modems, CIEV: 12(X) messages allow to know if
SIM is (un)plugged. The values are encoded as:
- 0: no SIM detected
- 1: SIM detected
It's required from a modem to generate these events about the SIM
detection state.
To set up these `CIEV: 12,(X)` URC events the `+CMER=1,0,0,1,0` command
is used. That command is supported by almost all u-blox modems except
SARA-G300/SARA-G310/LEON-G1(For these models the hot-swap feature will
not work).
As this 12 that is used in CIEV may be completely different in other
modules, the test command parsing is quite important to get that index
number. So, this logic is also added in cind_simind_format_check_ready
function.
----
It seems that it's necessary to issue this `+CMER` set up there despite
that the `+CMER` configuration will take place later in the 3GPP
interface enabling sequence. Because without it simind indications
will not be enabled at all.
CMER configuration may be later overwritten by 3GPP interface enabling
sequence, but in the worst-case scenario only hot-swap feature will not
work.
ModemManager. ModemManager provides a unified high level API for communicating with mobile broadband modems, regardless of the protocol used to communicate with the actual device (Generic AT, vendor-specific AT, QCDM, QMI, MBIM...). Using. ModemManager is a system daemon and is not meant to be used directly from the command line. However, since it provides a DBus API, it is possible to use 'dbus-send' commands or the new 'mmcli' command line interface to control it from the terminal. The devices are queried from udev and automatically updated based on hardware events, although a manual re-scan can also be requested to look for RS232 modems. Implementation. ModemManager is a DBus system bus activated service (meaning it's started automatically when a request arrives). It is written in C, using glib and gio. Several GInterfaces specify different features that the modems support, including the generic MMIfaceModem3gpp and MMIfaceModemCdma which provide basic operations for 3GPP (GSM, UMTS, LTE) or CDMA (CDMA1x, EV-DO) modems. If a given feature is not available in the modem, the specific interface will not be exported in DBus. Plugins. Plugins are loaded on startup, and must implement the MMPlugin interface. It consists of a couple of methods which tell the daemon whether the plugin supports a port and to create custom MMBroadbandModem implementations. It most likely makes sense to derive custom modem implementations from one of the generic classes and just add (or override) operations which are not standard. There are multiple fully working plugins in the plugins/ directory that can be used as an example for writing new plugins. Writing new plugins is highly encouraged! The plugin API is open for changes, so if you're writing a plugin and need to add or change some public method, feel free to suggest it! License. The ModemManager and mmcli binaries are both GPLv2+.
