原创 ARM平台嵌入式Linux下使用3G/4G 模块

2016-4-12 14:47 1392 14 14 分类: MCU/ 嵌入式

简介

随着工业发展,嵌入式设备接入网络的需求日益增多,在没有有线或者无线以太网的环境下,直接通过3G/4G Modem连接运营商网络来接入互联网不失为一个好方法,本文就着重介绍基于ARM平台的嵌入式设备在Embedded Linux下使用3G/4G Modem的方法。

目前市面上的3G/4G modem和主机的连接方式主要有串口、USB和mini-PCIE,串口模块比较传统且使用比较简单,而mini-PCIE在工业设备中目前应用还不广泛,因此本文使用USB 3G/4G modem来进行演示。

硬件准备

嵌入式平台基于Toradex Colibri i.MX6工业产品级ARM核心板搭配Colibri开发载板,Embedded Linux采用Toradex官方发布兼容Yocto Project 的Linux V2.5版本。

3G Modem使用华为 E303s WCDMA Modem,支持中国联通的3G网络

Linux Kernel准备

关于Linux kernel源代码下载及基本编译更新操作请参考这里,本文不再赘述,只简单列出操作如下:

a). 下载Linux kernel源代码

b). 下载安装Toolchain,并link到 “ ~/gcc-linaro “ 目录

$ wget http://releases.linaro.org/14.11/components/toolchain/binaries/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-linaro-4.9-2014.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz

$ tar xvf gcc-linaro-4.9-2014.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz

$ ln -s gcc-linaro-4.9-2014.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf gcc-linaro

 

c). 设置环境变量

$ export ARCH=arm

$ export PATH=~/gcc-linaro/bin/:$PATH

$ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-

 

d). 配置

$ make colibri_imx6_defconfig

$ make menuconfig      //添加下面列出功能

--------------------

  • Network device support  --->

           <*>   PPP (point-to-point protocol) support

           <*>     PPP BSD-Compress compression

            <*>     PPP Deflate compression

          

  •      PPP filtering

           <*>     PPP MPPE compression (encryption)

          

  •      PPP multilink support

           <*>     PPP over Ethernet

           <*>     PPP support for async serial ports

           <*>     PPP support for sync tty ports

     

  • USB support  --->

           <*>     USB Modem (CDC ACM) support

     

  • USB support  --->

        <*>   USB Serial Converter support  --->

                  <*>   USB driver for GSM and CDMA modems

    --------------------

     

    e). 重新编译kernel image

    $ make -j3 uImage LOADADDR=10008000 2>&1 | tee build.log

     

    f). 升级目标板

    根据本章节开始提供的参考升级目标板到新的kernel image

    相关软件准备

    1). PPP

    Toradex image默认已经安装,如果其他ARM平台image也是基于Yocto/OpenEmbedded环境编译,可以在local.conf文件中添加如下选项后编译

    -----------------

    IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " ppp"

    -----------------

    2). usb-modesiwtch-2.3.0

    a). 需要libusb-1.0.x,先从这里下载源文件并解压

    b). 使用上一章节配置的ToolChain如下设置交叉编译libusb

    $ sudo CC="/home/xxx/gcc-linaro/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc" CXX="/home/xxx/gcc-linaro/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++" ./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --prefix=/home/xxx/gcc-linaro --disable-udev

    $ make

    $ make install

    c). 从这里下载usb-modesiwtch并解压

    d). 如下修改usb-modesiwtch 目录下Makefile

    ----------------

    CC          = ~/gcc-linaro/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc

    CFLAGS      += -Wall -I/home/xxx/gcc-linaro/include -L/home/xxx/gcc-linaro/lib

    ----------------

    e).交叉编译usb-modesiwtch

    $ make

    f). 从这里下载usb-modeswitch-data,和上面步骤编译出的usb-modesiwtch可执行文件一起上传到目标板

    配置Modem连接网络

    目前比较新的3G/4G都支持Ethernet模式和Fallback模式,而老一些的模块只支持Fallback模式,请根据所需模块情况自行参考下面操作。

    1). Ethernet模式

    a). 将E303s 3G Modem连接目标板,由于Modem上包含为了给Windows系统提供驱动而部署的存储分区,Linux默认将设备识别成USB Mass Storage设备

    root@colibri-imx6:/home# lsusb

    Bus 001 Device 004: ID 12d1:1f01 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E353/E3131 (Mass storage mode)

    ……

    b). 如下修改usb-modeswitch-data-20160112/usb_modeswitch.d目录下的12d1:1f01文件

    -----------------------

    # Huawei E303s Ethernet Mode

    DefaultVendor=0x12d1

    DefaultProduct=0x1f01

    TargetVendor=0x12d1

    TargetProduct=0x14db

    MessageEndPoint = "0x01"

    MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000a11062000000000000100000000000000"

    ------------------------

    c). 使用usb-modeswitch工具将modem设置为Ethernet mode

    root@colibri-imx6:/home# ./usb_modeswitch -c 12d1:1f01

    ……

    root@colibri-imx6:/home# [  840.027676] usb 1-1.1: USB disconnect, device number 4

    root@colibri-imx6:/home# lsusb

    Bus 001 Device 005: ID 12d1:14db Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E353/E3131

    ……

    d). 查看网络,出现eth1,正确获取ip并连接到网络,下面就可以用使用以太网同样方法使用网络了

    root@colibri-imx6:/home# ifconfig

    ……

    eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 58:2C:80:13:92:63 

              inet addr:192.168.1.100  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

              inet6 addr: fe80::5a2c:80ff:fe13:9263/64 Scope:Link

              UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

              RX packets:37 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

              TX packets:69 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

              collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000

              RX bytes:6899 (6.7 KiB)  TX bytes:10381 (10.1 KiB)

    ……

    e). 验证网络连接

    root@colibri-imx6:/home# ping www.baidu.com

    PING www.baidu.com (61.135.169.121): 56 data bytes

    64 bytes from 61.135.169.121: seq=0 ttl=51 time=88.261 ms

    64 bytes from 61.135.169.121: seq=4 ttl=51 time=68.166 ms

    2). Fallback模式

    有一些较老型号的2G/3G Modem只支持这个模式,无需再用usb-modeswitch转换,可以直接参考下面转换后的操作部分。

    a). 如下修改usb-modeswitch-data-20160112/usb_modeswitch.d目录下的12d1:1f01文件

    -----------------------

    # Huawei E303s Fallback Mode

    DefaultVendor=0x12d1

    DefaultProduct=0x1f01

    TargetVendor=0x12d1

    TargetProduct=0x1001

    MessageEndPoint = "0x01"

    MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000011063000000100010000000000000000"

    NoDriverLoading=0

    ------------------------

    b). 使用usb-modeswitch工具将modem设置为Fallback mode

    root@colibri-imx6:/home# ./usb_modeswitch -c 12d1\:1f01

    ……

    root@colibri-imx6:/home# [ 2090.566190] usb 1-1.1: new high-speed USB device number 8 using ci_hdrc

    总结

    根据上述两种模式的测试结果,第一种Ethernet mode相对速度要更稳定一些,因此对于支持两种模式的modem更建议采用Ethernet mode;另外串口modem使用配置也可以参考Fallback mode。本文虽以E303s为例,但其他3G/4G Modem的配置也是类似,只是需要确定对应模式的Vendor ID,Product ID和Message。
