The image you managed to boot in the screenshot above, you made that with the buildsystem, or the image-builder, right?
If so, just add the package in menuconfig, or on the image-builder commandline
Oh, and paste the bootlog from serial, please. That should tell us a lot.
Yeah, I built it from source... Apparently ImageBuilder can not build initramfs images. It took awhile. But your right, I'm going to build another image with some more tools.
Here's the serial output on boot:

Ok, with the tools I installed. I was able to see the LTE modem. It seems it is acting as a USB LTE dongle essentially.
It is communicating via cdc_ether. I found this guide:
The part that I am stuck at is this. I don't have a way to manage the LTE modem. Though I don't know that I really need to... I am seeing packets in and out even with the sim card out. So it might be just as simple as setting it up in "interfaces" and pointing it to WAN. I tried that but it is not getting an IP... I also found this: https://whrl.pl/R3T20 It might be a case of needing to use something like https://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/
Yeah not sure what to do to get this part working.
Here's some related output:

Any update on this? I have a IFWA-40 that I'm going to be using with Google Fi data only cards now that we have Starlink and I could finally cancel my crappy ATT DSL, and all other services. My plan is to use it as a backup WAN for whenever Starlink drops out. Starlink is a huge improvement over anything ATT was willing to offer but it has the occasional noticable dropout while on calls.
I have vanilla openWRT running on it. But am still having trouble getting the LTE card talking properly to the OS. Netcomm is doing some seriously wonky stuff. No one seems interested in helping out so, yeah. I’m pretty much stuck.
Could you possibly help us make progress on this?
How could I go about getting openWRT running on mine? I don't yet have it unlocked as I'm waiting for the payoff to cycle through all their systems so I can submit the request for the unlock code.
I’ve laid out how I did it pretty clearly in my above posts. I am currently loading via tftpboot, so the box can’t load the OS on its own, the way they are doing it (I think) is there’s an onboard usb stick, which they load the OS from. I haven’t taken the time to get my custom built OS on that usb partition, because I don’t see the point in making semi-permanent changes until I have the LTE portion working correctly. If you have specific questions, I’d be happy to answer them, but I’m not dedicating any more time or effort to this until someone with more knowledge than I steps up to help.
I'm a software guy so I don't know how much help I can be unless I can get a firmware I can just upload to it via the web interface and then ssh in.
We are not even at that point. You don’t need a vanilla version of OpenWRT, to explore. In fact it wouldn’t be helpful, since all the relevant information would be missing. This box already runs a bastardized version of OpenWRT. What needs to happen can and must be done by exploring what comes on it out of the box. If your interested in exploring, follow what I did. Solder a UART connector, hook up a usb to serial, and get ssh.
Hi, i just reread/skimmed the thread up2now again,
I think, the current summary is, that using the recipe for the 8Devices Jalapeno, and then adding some usb-related tools in make menuconfig, the buildroot can create a TFTP-bootable initramfs, that will successfully boot, and show an USB-device for the LTE-modem.
I'm not sure, how much else works of the HW, @ide12 could perhaps enumerate what doesn't work, or what works, depending on which is shorter.
@ide12 also just confirmed, that you (at this stage) most likely need a USB-Serial adapter, and do some soldering to talk to U-Boot.
@ide12, did you try to build an image with the testing kernel, 5.15.something? Maybe that helps w.r.t. detection/usage of the LTE-modem, assuming the other needed prereqs are installed? what does mmcli -m 0 say?
Have you found "more fitting" devices, than the 8Devices_Jalapeno?
Do you think, it might be possible on this board to make a serial connection (long enough) without soldering to issue the 3 UBoot commands, by holding/taping the connectors in-place (so as not to perhaps void the warranty?)
Hey @stragies,
So this is where I’m at.
As far as I can tell the 8bitdevices jalapeno build is the best fit, but I could be wrong.
I have not tried testing with the 5.15 kernel.
From where I’m standing almost everything works, like everything. The LEDS work, the network stuff all works, essentially everything works.
What’s not working, the important stuff.
The LTE card is connected to LTE network. The LEDS indicate this. But Netcomm has a bunch of glue software to let the OS talk to the card. Specifically the IP assignment stuff.
This is where I am stuck.
Are these devices still being manufactured? Mine is a couple years old already.
No Idea, if they are still being made/sold? I don't have one, just gave some generic troubleshooting steps some months ago.
@Ide12, OK, so 8DevicesJalapeno works well enough for now, it seems.
Following the normal howtos with w.r.t ModemManager/QMIctl, where do you get stuck?
Are you sure, you have all the appropriate tools/services installed? Is your LTE a QMI device? Do you have mmcli? If so, what does mmcli -m 0 return?
Eh, no not at this point. The UART connector holes seem to be thru-hole plated, when I first hooked up via serial I didn’t solder the connector at all, and it worked. So while you can get away with it, with where I’m at needing to connect physically every time to boot new code it was just easier to solder it and route the wires to the outside where I have hot glued the usb to serial adapter to the case.
I don’t know if AT&T is still selling them. I looked, but can’t find them on their site, they have always buried this device.
You can get them NOS from third parties, and there’s always used.
It’s been awhile since I’ve touched this, but where I left off, I had loaded every conceivable tool I could find. None of the methods I used seemed to allow me to talk to the card. The card itself is running its own software and there’s no way to talk to it from openWRT (that I can find) QMI, modem manager, and the other various communication standards gleaned nothing.
So you also added USB-modeswitch package?
Can you send:
ip link
ls -l /dev/tty*
lsusb -t
Are you sure of the number of USB-modes of the device, and that you are in the right one?
Yes, I have tried switching usb modes to no avail.
