Usb 4g 8.PNG
A:The root cause is the Modem.service has used the module usbserial, so the 4G module can’t use usbserial; we can solve the problem by using command "systemctl disable ModemManager.service " or "systemctl stop ModemManager.service "
  • (3) Q:How to test the communication between SIM card and 4G module?
A:Use minicom, ”minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2”,and then use AT commands to test, such as ”at”,”at+csq”,“at+ccid”,if you get response without error,that means the communication is OK.
  • (4) Q: How to install libqmi?
A: Download from here: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/general/libqmi.html 1 ; then make and make install.
