IoT Modules Smart Module

Hello,

I think, I’ve found the way in order to create uploadable files with the method described in the SC20_inux_Packaging_&_Download_On_Ubuntu_Guide.

I’ve now the Quectel_Emmc folder with the differents ext4 files, the differents mbn files, the rawprogram_unsparse.xml and the patch0.xml.

I can see the module with the lsub command :

Bus 002 Device 014: ID 05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode)

But when I’ve trying the fh_loader command :

Quectel_Emmc$ …/fh_loader -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 13:prog_emmc_firehose_8909_ddr.mbn
Binary build date: Oct 11 2018 @ 20:08:09

Can you help me?

Thank you.

Hi gilou,
were you able to resolve this issue? I’m using running into this for SC20 Linux as well.
My eval board came with Android build installed and am wondering if this error manifests when transitioning to Linux. If you have a resolution, do you mind sharing?

thanks,

Hello,
My problem was the modemManager on my linux I’ve stop it, and now I can upload linux on the SC20.
I’ve found the info here.

Hope that will work for you.

Thank you for your reply. I will check this out. In addition, we used qpst/qfil tool on windows to flash a Linux image and that worked for us. FYI

Can confirm that stopping modemManager resolved this issue for us too.
Thank you gilou!

I’m glad that help you, I’ve passed a few days to try to understand why… We are not using windows at work, so I’m always looking for working tools on Linux.
