Linux平台如何实现4G通信

在ARM平台上实现4G模块的PPP拨号上网，参考网上的资料和自己的理解，从一无所知到开发完成花了一周多。最后看到ARM板ping通www.baidu.com时甚是高兴，现将此过程整理如下。当然，除此之外要做的工作还有很多。

4G模块使用的SIMTECH的SIM7100C，SIM7100C带有UART和USB接口，在考虑速度上我们使用USB接口和ARM进行通信。所以向linux内核添加3G模块的驱动(USB转串口驱动)和PPP协议的支持，然后编译内核并下载到开发板。

工作量主要包括两部分，一般在模块厂商Guide中都会有：

Linux驱动层的支持模块启停脚本调试

1.编译内核

◇大容量存储驱动

> Device Drivers > USB support
make ARCH=arm menuconfig配置USB驱动：
<*>     USB Mass Storage support
[*]       USB Mass Storage verbose debug
<*>       Realtek Card Reader support
[*]         Realtek Card Reader autosuspend support
<*>       Datafab Compact Flash Reader support

◇USB驱动

> Device Drivers > USB support
<*>   Inventra Highspeed Dual Role Controller (TI, ADI, ...)   
            MUSB Mode Selection (Dual Role mode)  --->             
    <*>     Platform Glue Layer (TI DSPS platforms)  --->           
        MUSB DMA mode (Disable DMA (always use PIO))  --->
<*>   USB Serial Converter support  --->
[*]      USBGeneric Serial Driver 
<*>     USBdriver for GSM and CDMA modems

◇PPP驱动

> Device Drivers > Network device support
   <*>   PPP (point-to-point protocol) support         
    <*>     PPP BSD-Compress compression                         
    <*>     PPP Deflate compression                              
     [*]     PPP filtering                                            
    <*>     PPP MPPE compression (encryption)                          
     [*]     PPP multilink support                 
    <*>     PPP over Ethernet                 
    <*>     PPP support for async serial ports    
    <*>     PPP support for sync tty ports      
<*>   SLIP (serial line) support      
[*]   CSLIP compressed headers

2.交叉编译libusb

root@zhaoxc-VBox:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-1.0.20# mkdir install
configure: error: "udev support requested but libudev not installed"(解决：添加--disable-udev)
root@zhaoxc-VBox:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-1.0.20# ./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/opt/usb-tools/libusb-1.0.20/install --disable-udev
root@zhaoxc-VBox:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-1.0.20# make
root@zhaoxc-VBox:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-1.0.20# make install

添加环境变量PKG_CONFIG_PATH设置）

root@zhaoxc-VBox:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-1.0.20# export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/usb-tools/libusb-1.0.20/install/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
root@zhaoxc-VBox:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-1.0.20# echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH

编译libusb-compat：

root@zhaoxc-VBox:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-compat-0.1.5# ./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/opt/usb-tools/libusb-compat-0.1.5/install
root@zhaoxc-VBox:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-compat-0.1.5# make
root@zhaoxc-VBox:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-compat-0.1.5# make install

将生成的libusb-1.0.20和libusb-compat-0.1.5下的库文件复制到ARM板上的linux的/lib下面即可。

3.交叉编译4G模块驱动

交叉编译GobiSerial.c(ARCH=arm CC=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc)，得到GobiSerial.ko。复制到ARM板安装驱动

#insmod GobiSerial.ko

4.查看驱动运行状况

插上4G模块，虚拟出6个ttyUSB，它们分别是：

root@am335x-evm:/# ls /dev/ttyUSB*
/dev/ttyUSB0  /dev/ttyUSB1  /dev/ttyUSB2  /dev/ttyUSB3  /dev/ttyUSB4  /dev/ttyUSB5
1) /dev/ttyUSB0-diag port for output developing messages
2) /dev/ttyUSB1- NMEA port for GPS NMEA data output
3) /dev/ttyUSB2-AT port for AT commands
4) /dev/ttyUSB3-Modem port for ppp-dial
5) /dev/ttyUSB4-audio port
6) /dev/ttyUSB5-Virtual Net card

插上U盘，提示设备运行：

[75097.986054] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=058f, idProduct=6387
[75097.993167] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[75098.000689] usb 2-1: Product: Mass Storage
[75098.004995] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: Generic
[75098.009342] usb 2-1: SerialNumber: AC3DF2EE
[75098.024341] usb-storage 2-1:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected
[75098.049922] scsi0 : usb-storage 2-1:1.0

lsusb命令查看结果：

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1e0e:9001
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 058f:6387
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002

5.交叉编译PPP

6.拨号脚本设置

#disconnect '/bin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/gprs-disconnect-chat'

7.拨号

root@am335x-evm: pppd call gprsdial

8.测试

拨号之后进行测试，发现可以ping通ip但是无法ping通域名。这需要设置/etc/resolv.conf来添加DNS解析服务器的地址

文件/etc/resolv.conf配置DNS客户，它包含了主机的域名搜索顺序和DNS服务器的地址，每一行应包含一个关键字和一个或多个的由空格隔开的参数。下面是一个例子文件：

domain test.com
search www.test.com test.co
nameserver 202.96.128.86
nameserver 202.96.128.166
nameserver   #定义DNS服务器的IP地址
domain       #定义本地域名
search       #定义域名的搜索列表
sortlist     #对返回的域名进行排序

主要是nameserver关键字，如果没指定nameserver就找不到DNS服务器，其它关键字是可选的。

我这里只设置了两个DNS，如下：

nameserver 114.114.114.114
nameserver 8.8.8.8
