this is "some" of my kernel logs

I do not see "NSS context created" on wwan0

software / hw offloading as well as packet steering is disabled

this is what I am getting when doing speedtest

I think you have compiled the qmi_wwan_q drivers from ImmortalWrt and not from Qosmio's nss-packages repo.

Not sure if you are using ImmortalWrt as the base but try using Qosmio's openwrt-ipq repo as well.

chanrio13 · October 25, 2024, 9:22am

This is right. I am using this as a workaround because im not able to have quectel run from qosmios.

Qosmios repo
Immortal wwan packages

Are you using arcadyan 1000 with quectel protocol from qosmio?

M10 · October 25, 2024, 9:49am

Nice gui, now i want it now! @xHikari are You building image for other devices like x86 or dynalink wrx36?

chanrio13 · October 25, 2024, 3:55pm

When compiling wwan from qosmio, my modem continously restarts when quectel-cm starts....

XT-Martinez · October 25, 2024, 5:37pm

As mentioned by @xHikari here:

You will need to enable all NSS DRV capabilities.
You can do this by manually editing the .config file and ensure that the following configs are set.

CONFIG_NSS_DRV_BRIDGE_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_CAPWAP_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_C2C_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_CLMAP_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_CRYPTO_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_DTLS_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_GRE_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_IGS_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_IPSEC_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_IPV4_REASM_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_IPV6_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_IPV6_REASM_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_L2TP_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_LAG_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_MAPT_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_MATCH_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_MIRROR_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_OAM_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_PORTID_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_LSO_RX_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_PPPOE_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_PPTP_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_PVXLAN_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_QRFS_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_QVPN_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_RMNET_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_SHAPER_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_SJACK_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_TLS_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_TRUSTSEC_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_UDP_ST_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_TSTAMP_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_TUN6RD_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_TUNIPIP6_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_VIRT_IF_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_VLAN_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_VXLAN_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_WIFIOFFLOAD_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_WIFI_EXT_VDEV_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_WIFI_MESH_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_NSS_DRV_WIFI_LEGACY_ENABLE=y

Also, we have merged the IP multiplexing features for quectel-cm to Qosmio's NSS packages repo so you need to add this line in /etc/modules.conf

options qmi_wwan_q qmap_mode=2

chanrio13 · October 25, 2024, 11:37pm

Thanks for this

I have rebuild from scratch with this guide enabling all nss drv and the module.conf

The modem does not restsrt anymore and connects using quectel. It is now showing the operator and signal but I am stucked with "waiting for connection data"

XT-Martinez · October 26, 2024, 2:08am

Can you post the system and kernel logs?

chanrio13 · October 26, 2024, 5:01am

I have uploaded it since its too big please see below
https://github.com/chanrio13/AW1000_TEST/blob/main/kernel.txt
https://github.com/chanrio13/AW1000_TEST/blob/main/SYSLOG.txt

What ive done so far is AT+CFUN=1 on start up
And usbnet to 0 for qmi/rmnet
Same result

cjayacopra · October 26, 2024, 10:15am

I am having the same issue. I was able to obtain an IP by changing the protocol to QMI or Modemmanager then back to Quectel. After a restart, my aw1000 obtains an IP.

Running AT+CFUN=1,1 gives me an error OK2024/10/26 00:51:07 socat[12381] W cannot restore terminal settings on fd 5: I/O error

Sadly, I don't have 5G in my area.

chanrio13 · October 26, 2024, 9:51pm

Just sharing

Im able to fix mine using the following method

Clone from qosmio (must be wwan nss branch)
Enable all nss_drv config from .config
Search for rmnet and enable all with regards to rmnet in .config
Create a dhcp client interface @5g_4 (not the actual quectel interface @5G

If you test this and it works for you, kindly provide feedback

cjayacopra · October 26, 2024, 11:47pm

I'm actually building using the wwan branch as I can see that @XT-Martinez and @xHikari was committing there.

I am no in the process how to succesfully setup the wwan in the build instead of manually configuring it after flash.

Will let you know of this setup.

cjayacopra · October 28, 2024, 10:54pm

Just an update for everyone.

I was able to successfully build a working fw OOB after flash.

What I did is scrape all the commits in nss-packages and found out this Commit 0c05fe6
Update quectel.sh (#36) · qosmio/nss-packages@0c05fe6.

I reverted the commit back in my buildroot and quectel protocol now works flawlessly.

Here's the kernel log as well. There are still cpu spikes when doing speedtest but not as much without NSS.

chanrio13 · October 29, 2024, 9:34am

Are you using the main or wwan branch

cjayacopra · October 29, 2024, 9:36am

I am using the main branch. I just reverted the mentioned commit.

cjayacopra · October 30, 2024, 12:25am

@XT-Martinez @xHikari what is the commandline? utility for quectel or rmnet?

I just want to create a script that involves pulling out the current network type(5GSA,5GNSA and 4GLTE).

xHikari · November 6, 2024, 7:40am

You can use AT+QCAINFO AT command for that

cjayacopra · November 6, 2024, 3:39pm

Yeah, I was able to figure that out. I am using picocom to send AT commands from my sh script. So far it works great.

blackaura08 · November 12, 2024, 5:52pm

Hi sir, I need help on how you're able to detect the AW1000 using the uart method. Because I have an Aw1000, it is bricked. I did not do anything; I just turned it on, and then the led light stayed only in white color.
