NOOB: Where can I find the serial speed, AT Commands for EG25-G?

Zonker · May 9, 2023, 12:00am

I’m trying to use the EG25-G, as an LTE upgrade in an Italian-made FoxBox LX800 SMS-email gateway. The module is detected on USB, but not enumerated. The old 3G module was Hua***, at 115200 serial speed. I’m guessing the EG25-G is a different speed? Where can I find the speed, and a good summary of the AT Commands for this module. (It is new-to-me last week, but I want to start by checking my firmware revision.

I’m NOT seeing it as a QMI device, no “wwan0” interface. In USA, I’m probably close to an AT&T tower.

The FoxBox is built on a PC Engines ALIX 6, running Voyage Linux.

Thank you for any clues you can share.

I did find the AT commands (and other tech docs) on the EG25-G module product page.
My small board computer (PC Engines ALIX 6) does see the module on boot, on the mini-PCIE bus (it knows the maker and model), but it doesn’t seem to be able to set up the USB ports, thus I cannot use the AT commands (yet).

I’ll explore info for configuring other Linux (for Raspberry Pi and nVidia Nano) to see if I can determine how to tell Voyage Linux about the Quectel board… I’ll post my progress to the thread, but any suggestions are welcome.

hi Zonker，

pls excute AT+IPR command query and set the URAT baud rate.

Zonker · July 12, 2023, 5:05am

I cannot execute any AT commands… the module is detected, but the kernel doesn’t know about all of the serial channels to the module. I think I’ve found where the Device configuration files live, but I’m not sure what to put in those files. (I’m using the device directory for the old Huawei 3G module, but there are many differences between that and the EG25-G. Getting the kernel to enumerate the serial ports would be a huge step forward.

Duncan.Xu-Q · July 12, 2023, 10:42am

Hi Zonker,

have you install quectel’s linux driver? if you have installed it, you can use minicom or microcom to exexcute AT command via ttyUSB2 port.

Zonker · July 12, 2023, 8:41pm

I have not tried that. The device is a PC Engines ALIX 6, with Voyage Linux. Sold by FoxBox as an LX800 SMS-Email gateway. No replies back from FoxBox or Voyage Linux. I will look for a link to install the drivers, and see if I can run that on the FoxBox. Thank you for the clues.
