Quectel EG25-G GSM Modem

Quectel Setup

The Quectel should be conencted to a ConnectTech's Elroy board. The Quectel module requires to connect the antenna on the MAIN and GNSS sockets. Make sure to use a SIM card with full access to the mobile network.

Installation

Clone the repository:

mkdir ~/git/ && cd ~/git/
git clone https://git.spirirobotics.com/dchvs/eg25-g.git
cd eg25-g/

Create udhcpc directories, copy in the script, and give it execution permission:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/udhcpc
sudo mkdir -p /etc/udhcpc/
sudo cp quectel-CM/default.script /usr/share/udhcpc/
sudo cp quectel-CM/default.script /etc/udhcpc/

sudo chmod +x /usr/share/default.script
sudo chmod +x /etc/udhcpc/default.script

Create a udhcpc symbolic link:

sudo ln -s /bin/busybox /bin/udhcpc

Build the application:

cd quectel-CM/quectel-CM
make

Running

The following command launches the package, with [apn-name] being substituted with the APN of the wireless provider. For BICS, the APN is bicsapn. To run this in the background, add & to the end of the command.

sudo ~/git/eg25-g/quectel-CM/quectel-CM -s [apn-name] &

Troubleshooting

If the modem is correctly connected to the system, the following command will show the GSM modem attaching to ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1, ttyUSB2, and ttyUSB3:

dmesg | grep GSM

If the modem has successfully connected to a tower and is being served an IP address, then the following command will show an IP address being served:

ifconfig eth1
ping -I eth1 www.google.com
