GSM modem AT commands

Gordon Klaus <gordon@...>
 

Hello,

 

I have successfully made a network connection using MODEM_GSM_PPP.  Now, I would like to reduce power consumption by using power saving mode (PSM).  What is the recommended way to send the AT commands to achieve this?

 

Can I send AT commands to the UART device after gsm_ppp_start has been called?  How would I handle the response when the modem driver is already listening to that UART?  Is this what GSM_MUX is for?  I don’t see any documentation for how do use GSM mux.  Can I attach another UART mux to the device?  Can I pick an arbitrary unused DLCI?

 

I see that the modem driver has code to simplify handling AT responses, but this code is private to the driver.  Why is this code not available for general purpose AT command handling?  Is it planned to be made available?

 

Best regards,

Gordon
Zephyr Developer Survey: Your Input Requested by Thursday, May 19

Brett Preston
 

(TSC Members/Alternates, Maintainers, Collaborators please follow link that were sent to you)


Members of the Zephyr Community,


We have assembled a Developer Survey to help us understand what is working well in the Zephyr Project, and what could be improved. The summary information will be shared with the TSC, and used to help the project figure out where to focus going forward. Responses are captured anonymously.


It would be very helpful to the project if you could take the time to share your thoughts in the survey at https://linuxfoundation.surveymonkey.com/r/25MM7CR. There are 35 questions, and we estimate it should probably take about 10 minutes to fill it in.


Responses are requested by end-of-day on Thursday, May 19.


If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to one of us.


Thanks, 



Anas, Kate & Brett

Re: How to access the child nodes in a device tree (DTS) in Zephyr using DT_FOREACH_CHILD #dts #nrf52

The results from previous code were OK, I think it's a bug in the debugger. I posted the details here [^].

How to access the child nodes in a device tree (DTS) in Zephyr using DT_FOREACH_CHILD #dts #nrf52

unsunk.ship@...
 

Hi,
I originally posted this question to stackoverflow [^] so I think its better not to duplicate the whole story here.
Supposing I have a DTS file with a content like this one below:

n: detectors {
    compatible = "foo-detectors";
        
    // Definition of first channel
    det0: det_0 {
        irq-pins = <13 (GPIO_PULL_UP | GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW)>;
        label = "Bar detector channel 1";
    };
    // Definition of second channel
    det1: det_1 {
        irq-pins = <17 (GPIO_PULL_UP | GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW)>;
        label = "Bar detector channel 2";
    };
};
And a structure like here below:
struct foo_detector_desc { 
    int irqpin; 
    int irqpin_flags;
}
How can I use macro DT_FOREACH_CHILD for populating an array with one item for each child of node detectors?

I tried this code below but, yet it compiled, the results where not what I wanted.

#define PIN_INFO_AND_COMMA(node_id) \
    { \
        .pin=DT_PROP_BY_IDX(node_id, irq_pins, 0),\
        .flags=DT_PROP_BY_IDX(node_id, irq_pins, 1),\
    },

const struct detector_data _det_data[] = {
    DT_FOREACH_CHILD(DT_NODELABEL(n), PIN_INFO_AND_COMMA)
};

Re: Scheduler/Thread Status #api

Andy Ross
 

Not public ones, no.  You can check kernel/include/ksched.h for the internal API for this.  I guess the immediate question has to be "what are you trying to do"?  Recognize that any decision made on the basis of this kind of stuff is going to be inherently racy without access to the scheduler's own synchronization (though on a single CPU device, just holding an interrupt lock is enough to be safe).

Also, just to clarify: k_sched_lock() doesn't mutate "scheduler" state at all, it's implemented via a trick that essentially elevates the current thread priority to a cooperative level, preventing preemption.

Andy
Scheduler/Thread Status #api

Casey Shea
 

Are there any API calls for retrieving thread and scheduler status?  I'm looking for something that would indicate the following:

  • Is the scheduler locked?
  • What is the thread status? (Ready, Waiting, Suspended)


Thanks!
Re: Implementation of Zephyr on custom board

Murphy, Lauren
 

Hi Bharath,

 

(1) I’ll look more into this and email you 1:1.

 

(2) Could you explain what you mean by “build the code without any board dependencies in West”? The module (if you’re using the module) can build for any board; see the Hello World sample. If you’re trying to use a custom board, you need definitions for the board + an overlay to make Zephyr aware of sensors you’re using.

 

Sincerely,

Lauren Murphy

Profiling tools

Guy Morand
 

Hi Zephyr users!

I would like to profile my application and was wondering if there are tools available such as the famous ``perf``?

I have found ``THREAD_ANALYZER`` that is very useful but I would need more information about which functions is called and how long.

Happy hacking!

Re: designing a message "bus"

Guy Morand
 

Hi Yshragai,

Small correction on my previous statement. As stated in the documentation, broadcasting is not possible:

Each message may be received by only one thread (i.e.
point-to- multipoint and broadcast messaging is not supported).
We had a small internal discussion about a similar topic this morning and for this reason, we decided to implement our own observer pattern by sending events to a dispatcher using message queue.

Anyway, if you have a better approach, I'm eager to hear more!

Best regards,

Guy

One brute-force way to design this is a queue (such as a FIFO) per target module. This is not the most elegant or scalable solution, but it'll work... Is there a way to design this that's more scalable, and maybe even elegant?
I wish there were a mechanism in Zephyr by which a thread could subscribe to messages in a given queue not by sender ID (as is possible with a mailbox) but by some identifying characteristic of the message (e.g., by the value in the "info" field).

Re: designing a message "bus"

Jason Bens <jason.bens@...>
 

I’m sure you’ll get a slew of possible implementations, but have you considered implementing the observer pattern?  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_pattern .  If I were to implement this, I’d give each module an event queue to receive messages on, and a list containing pointers to the event queues of other interested modules (the observers).  Observers are notified by iterating over the list and sending the event to each one.  Unfortunately, the granularity of this approach is only to the module level, and so may not meet your needs as described.

Subject: [Zephyr-users] Connecting to a private resolvable address found using bt_le_scan_start

 

Hi,

 

I’m writing some firmware for both sides of a BLE link.  I would like to scan for advertisers, filter the results to find my device, then store the address to be connected later, without necessarily connecting at the moment.  I think this is possible if I use static addresses, but I would prefer to use a private resolvable address.  What is the process to use the bt_le_address_t returned in the info struct of the .recv callback to get the IRK so I can connect to the remote device at a later time?

 

Thanks,

Re: Executing a Post Build Batch File using CMake

Bolivar, Marti
 

Hi Casey,

Did you have a look at the global 'extra_post_build_commands' and
'extra_post_build_byproducts' properties mentioned in
zephyr/CMakeLists.txt?

Try searching around the source tree to see how it is used and if you
can adapt it to your needs.

HTH,
Martí

*Build Environment Details*

* CLion is my IDE of choice but I don't believe that matters for this discusson.

*What I am Trying to Achieve*
At the end of my build process, I would like to execute a batch file on the zephyr_final target that signs the final image.  This is different than the MCU Boot signature and is a custom proprietary signature.  I am unable to change the way in which this image is signed as it must be compatible with existing tools used with my product.

*Method in Which I am trying to Achieve*
Normally, I would do this using add_custom_command(TARGET target_name POST_BUILD
COMMAND "batchfile.bat" batchfile_arguments)

However, I don't believe that the final zephyr target is within the scope of the top-level CMakeLists.txt file.  That said, I do not have a lot of experience with CMake as most of my past development was within the IAR toolchain.  It's very possible that I am misinterpreting this.

Questions
1.  Will I be able to use the add_custom_command() CMake function to execute the batch file?  If so, can someone provide an example as to how I would do this and what Target I should be using.

2.  Is there a better, more appropriate method for doing this within the Zephyr environment.

Any help or guidance is much appreciated!
