On newer versions of the kernel, some modules of Quectel are already supported by default.

On Ubuntu, there is ModemManager. If you want to send AT command with microcom or minicom, please disable or stop the ModemManager.

sudo systemctl stop ModemManager

sudo systemctl disable ModemManager

Then we can send AT command with uart tools like microcom.
