Working with BG77 and Linux

Technical Subjects Driver

Hello, I am trying to use a BG77 module to provide internet access to a Raspberry pi. No calls and sms are needed.

What drivers do I need to install?

Do I have to use USB interface? or does it also work over UART?

Is there any user guide for this topic?

Thanks.

I think you can use the PPP.

#!/bin/sh

echo "quectel-pppd options in effect:"
QL_DEVNAME=/dev/ttyUSB3
QL_APN=3gnet

QL_PDP=1
QL_IP=IP #IP, IPV4, IPV6, IPV4V6
if [ $# -ge 1 ]; then
	QL_DEVNAME=$1	
	echo "devname   $QL_DEVNAME    # (from command line)"
else
	echo "devname   $QL_DEVNAME    # (default)"
fi
if [ $# -ge 2 ]; then
	QL_APN=$2	
	echo "apn       $QL_APN    # (from command line)"
else
	echo "apn       $QL_APN    # (default)"
fi
if [ $# -ge 3 ]; then
	QL_USER=$3	
	echo "user      $QL_USER   # (from command line)"

	echo "user      $QL_USER   # (default)"

if [ $# -ge 4 ]; then

else
	echo "password  $QL_PASSWORD   # (default)"
fi
