Hi, I have a RM500Q-gl in the evb and am trying to use to to connect a raspberry pi to 5g. Currently, I am not getting any responses from at commands when I send them using minicom. Any tips on what to do next?
Please show the output of cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices
Make sure you do not have ModemManager installed.
cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices returns the following:

This is only the section concerning the quectel module, which is what I assumed you want to see. I have also removed ModemManager before I even plugged the quectel module in.
USB If#= 2
is your AT command port, in the absence of other serial devices in the system it should be exposed as /dev/ttyUSB2
. Most likely the next port will respond to AT commands as well.
Any dumb terminal like picocom/microcom/minicom should be able to work with such tty device.
When running this command: sudo minicom -b 115200 -D /dev/ttyUSB2 and typing AT into the interface I get no response still
it was ttyUSB3, can’t believe I didnt think of this sooner
Thanks for the help non the less
Then you probably have other devices exposing /dev/ttyUSBx
besides this modem.
