No RSTR responses from libgsmdtool -m atcmd

[shakthimaan@…]

No RSTR responses from libgsmdtool -m atcmd.

gsmd, most of the time, fails to start on boot-up. Have to do:

/etc/init.d/gsmd start

to start the GSM daemon. Trying

libgsmdtool -m atcmd

opens a session, but, trying AT, or AT+CGMI doesn't produce any response from
the GSM chipset. Output is like this:

OUTPUT

root@fic-gta01:~$ libgsmd-tool -m atcmd
libgsm-tool - (C) 2006 by Harald Welte
This program is Free Software and has ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY

AT
STR=`AT'

END =

It just stops at that. I am able to press Control+C to break out of the
application and return to the prompt. But, then gsmd gets killed (?), and I have
to start gsmd manually again:

/etc/init.d/gsmd start

to try to test the application (which again doesn't produce any RSTR responses).

Manually using GSM works:

could you try these commands below?

1. >killall gsmd
2. > /usr/sbin/gsmd gsmd -p /dev/ttySAC0 -s 115200 -F
3. open another terminal:

   libgsmd-tool -m atcmd
   at + cgmr
   

I'd like to see the gsmd debug log information and your gsm firmware version.
Thanks!

[erin_yueh@…]

could you please try these commands below?

1. > killall gsmd
2. > /usr/sbin/gsmd gsmd -p /dev/ttySAC0 -s 115200 -F

[see what the debug log message here]

3. open another terminal:

   libgsmd-tool -m atcmd
   at + cgmr
   

[see the firmware version]

I'd like to see the gsmd debug log information and your gsm firmware version.

Or you may try to update some files

1. update /etc/init.d/gsmd shell script

​http://buildhost.openmoko.org/OM2007.2/tmp/rootfs/etc/init.d/gsmd

Or

2. update to the newest rootfs and kernal image

[shakthimaan@…]

1. Attached please find the file, gsmd-output-oct-8-2007-1510.txt that gives the

output of: "/usr/sbin/gsmd -p /dev/ttySAC0 -s 115200 -F".

2. After running libgsmd-tool -m atcmd, output is:

OUTPUT

root@fic-gta01:~$ libgsmd-tool -m atcmd
libgsm-tool - (C) 2006 by Harald Welte
This program is Free Software and has ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY

at+cgmr
STR=`at+cgmr'

END

It hangs there. So, I used manual method, and with #256 hint [1] (using stty
-F /dev/ttySAC0 crtscts) on another terminal, I found the AT+CGMR output as follows:

+CGMR: "HW: GTA01Bv4, GSM: gsm_ac_gp_fd_pu_em_cph_ds_vc_cal35_ri_36_amd8_ts0-Moko1"

3. I would like to use libgsmd for my test application (atmycommand in

projects.openmoko.org). So, if I use the latest images, how can I update my
build environment to your latest gsm testing build environment?

4. From here:

​http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=176#c1

it is mentioned that lgsm_passthrough() should not be used by any application,
other than testing/debugging. My application is a testing/debugging application.
So, is it ok to use the same?

Comment#3/1. I updated with the latest gsm script, but, didn't get any RSTR
responses.

Comment#3/2. I then flashed the lastest images:
uboot-gta01bv4-latest.bin
OpenMoko?-openmoko-devel-image-glibc-ipk-P1-September-Snapshot-20070917-fic-gta01.rootfs.jffs2
uImage-2.6.22.5-moko11+svnr2937-r0-fic-gta01.bin

It booted fine. But, libgsmd-tool -m atcmd results in the following (after a
very long time):

BEGIN OUTPUT

root@fic-gta01:~$ libgsmd-tool -m atcmd
libgsm-tool - (C) 2006 by Harald Welte

Ok. The latest images work fine:
uboot-gta01bv4-latest.bin
OpenMoko?-openmoko-devel-image-glibc-ipk-P1-September-Snapshot-20070917-fic-gta01.rootfs.jffs2
uImage-2.6.22.5-moko11+svnr2937-r0-fic-gta01.bin

Only the first time it failed. I repeated it again five times, and it works! A
sample log:

Actually, on boot-up, gsmd starts, but testing with "libgsmd-tool -m atcmd"
fails with error:

BEGIN OUTPUT

root@fic-gta01:~$ libgsmd-tool -m atcmd
libgsm-tool - (C) 2006 by Harald Welte

AT
STR=`AT'
RSTR=`'
ERROR reding from gsm_fd

END

gsmd doesn't run anymore after this error. I then manually start gsmd using:

/etc/init.d/gsmd start

and then "libgsmdtool -m atcmd" works fine!

Is there a difference in the way gsmd gets initialized during boot-up, compared
to using /etc/init.d/gsmd, or are there any timing issues during boot-up that
gsm doesn't get initialized properly?

[erin_yueh@…]

1. it seems like gsmd is not started properly. I guess it may refer to an email

from gsmd-level mail list. It's about the gsmd starting up timing problem.
​http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/gsmd-devel/2007-October/000246.html

2. gsmd is not running properly, so u cannot get any response from libgsmd-tool.

your gsm firmware is 'moko1' and it should be fine and stable.

3. You can use MoKoMakefile? to have a updated building environment.

​http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/MokoMakefile

4. i am not sure how you will use lgsm_passthrough(). you may read this email first. ​http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-uboot/2007-September/000109.html

[erin_yueh@…]

from Comment #8:
when you try to use libgsmd-tool -m atcmd, could you check gsmd status first?
perhaps gsmd doesn't start yet.
eg. > ps aux | grep gsmd

root@fic-gta01:~$ ps aux | grep gsmd
root 1086 0.0 0.4 1680 632 ? S 22:20 0:00 /usr/sbin/gsmd
gsmd -p /dev/ttySAC0 -s 115200 -F
root 1113 0.0 0.4 3052 596 pts/0 R+ 22:42 0:00 grep gsmd

if you see the output is like above, the gsmd is running.

also, you can check the gsmd log file.

Work for me.
I'd want to switch this into fixed.
