CellularDevice::get_default_instance() is a weak method and is overriden
by either a default construction provided in the code or by application
at some stage. This method needs to be flagged otherwise using another
driver will be hindered by the default overriding of this driver.
Using malloc will require us to add stdlib.h somewhere in the path for
the application. Maybe the CI apps are adding stdlib.h and that's why
the code would have worked. In a custom app, it can happen that the
header is not included. Using new avoids the need to add stdlib.h
anywhere and it is more in line with C++.
For default construction of the driver, it would be necessary to define
the pins. However as we don't know the correct pins, until/unless user
sets them up for us. So it makes sense to mark the pins as NC. It would
be easier to debug if the pins are set to NC if user forgot to set them
up.
To make this driver more useful, we needed to do some changes. The
wirings for the modem can differ on the board so we also need to be
flexible in our approach.
It is now mandatory to provide the power pin and pin polarity in the
constructor alongwith the file handle. Reset pin is optional.
Standard 3GPP TS27.007 states that the AT+CGSN command can optionally
have type parameter that determines the output. However Quiectel EC2X
series doesn't accept parameters. We need to reflect that in the
cellular properties setup.
Provides basic power up / power down sequences for Quectel EC2X series
modems. Can be used in PPP mode. For using the on-board IP stack, we
will need to add and implement classes that provide context.
Driver constructor takes power and reset control pins along with the
FileHandle. A default construction is provided which can be chosen by
the application in its mbed_app.json. Otherwise the user is free to
construct as per demand.
Original AT traces had several issue:
- Can be overwritten by other traces (printf/mbed-trace)
- No way to know which direction message was going (TX or RX)
- <cr> and <ln> characters were not visible in trace
etc.
This commit addresses those issues using mbed-trace and showing separately
each filehandle write and read.
State machine has retry logic until device is attached to network.
After this CellularContext does the context activation e.g. connect.
There was no retry logic for context activation. Added logic to
CellularContext level so it's available for at and (upcoming)ril layers.
When using NetworkInterface::get_default_instance() application gets handle
to CellularInterface which is actually CellularContext derived from CellularInterface.
Application needs also handle to CellularDevice to open other interfaces.
Simplified state machine by removing manual registering state.
This was done as some modems did not have all the needed at commands
for checking the registered network. Some modem run out of memory as when
checking correct network there might be so many networks available.
Manual registration still works but it does not do any checks to which network
it's registered. Moved manual registering at command earlier in state machine so it forces
registering to a correct network. Internal refactor/fix, does not affect applications.
This was left accidentally after refactoring.
It wasn't giving correct states after refactoring.
CellularContext::get_connection_status should be used instead.
Fix syncing back to at mode after ppp disconnect.
Fix AT_CellularContext flags and states to allow new connect after disconnect.
Fix that state machine is not reseted in disconnect is it's running (might be
running because of another context or new connect already started).
There are two EventQueue.h in mbed-os codebase:
events/EventQueue.h
features/FEATURE_BLE/ble/pal/EventQueue.h
By accident, `mbed compile` generates includes.txt with the correct
order of include search paths. This is not the case for the CMake
exporter: targets with FEATURE_BLE enables fail to compile with errors:
mbed-os/features/cellular/framework/AT/ATHandler.h:99:60: error:
'events' has not been declared
Update all places to always include either "events/EventQueue.h"
or "ble/pal/EventQueue.h": to always find the correct header.
Added Multihoming feature to LWIP (ability to use more than one network interfaces) for increasing networking reliability.
This involves:
LWIP interface
LWIP IP routing
DNS storage
Sockets (bind to interface name possibility)
possibility to add non default network interface
cellular middleware modifications if cellular connection is used
It was decided to retire CellularBase class which served as a pure
virtual interface class from which Cellular network stack
implementations would get inherited. However, the current view is that
we may be the only user of it so we could retire CellularBase.
Information removed from the cellular subsystem trace log:
* SIM pin
* APN username and password
Added get_debug() to ATHandler.h to get the current trace state in order
to support suspend/resume of trace output.
Fix this build warning seen when building with ARMCC
