QMI_WWAN and MBIM driver for EM120K-GL

Technical Subjects Driver
1

Hi,

We are using EM120K-GL module in our setup based on a Qualcomm processor. We have connected it using the USB interface.

When adding the VID and PID in the USB serial driver, we are able to detect the module and /dev/ttyUSBX nodes are created.

We tried using the attached file for QMI_WWAN support. The qmi_wwan_q driver gets loaded during boot up, but the module is not liked to it and the device nodes wwanX and cdc-wdmX were not formed.

Are we missing something here? or is there any other QMI_WWAN/MBIM driver source for EM120K-GL USB module?

Your modem is in MBIM mode but you’re missing the driver.

5

Can you share the steps to switch it to QMI_WWAN mode? Need to use the usb serial driver to switch the modes?

6

You can follow the steps described here: RM500Q-AE latest linux drivers and installation manual
Make sure you use your ProdID=030b instead of 0800 used there.
At the end use AT+QCFG="usbnet",0 for QMI.

Thanks for the support. The QMI channel and network device node is created now,.
