============================================
|
||||
t7xx driver for MTK PCIe based T700 5G modem
|
||||
============================================
|
||||
The t7xx driver is a WWAN PCIe host driver developed for linux or Chrome OS platforms
|
||||
for data exchange over PCIe interface between Host platform & MediaTek's T700 5G modem.
|
||||
The driver exposes an interface conforming to the MBIM protocol [1]. Any front end
|
||||
application (e.g. Modem Manager) could easily manage the MBIM interface to enable
|
||||
data communication towards WWAN. The driver also provides an interface to interact
|
||||
with the MediaTek's modem via AT commands.
|
||||
|
||||
Basic usage
|
||||
===========
|
||||
MBIM & AT functions are inactive when unmanaged. The t7xx driver provides
|
||||
WWAN port userspace interfaces representing MBIM & AT control channels and does
|
||||
not play any role in managing their functionality. It is the job of a userspace
|
||||
application to detect port enumeration and enable MBIM & AT functionalities.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples of few such userspace applications are:
|
||||
|
||||
- mbimcli (included with the libmbim [2] library), and
|
||||
- Modem Manager [3]
|
||||
|
||||
Management Applications to carry out below required actions for establishing
|
||||
MBIM IP session:
|
||||
|
||||
- open the MBIM control channel
|
||||
- configure network connection settings
|
||||
- connect to network
|
||||
- configure IP network interface
|
||||
|
||||
Management Applications to carry out below required actions for send an AT
|
||||
command and receive response:
|
||||
|
||||
- open the AT control channel using a UART tool or a special user tool
|
||||
|
||||
Management application development
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
The driver and userspace interfaces are described below. The MBIM protocol is
|
||||
described in [1] Mobile Broadband Interface Model v1.0 Errata-1.
|
||||
|
||||
MBIM control channel userspace ABI
|
||||
----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
/dev/wwan0mbim0 character device
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
The driver exposes an MBIM interface to the MBIM function by implementing
|
||||
MBIM WWAN Port. The userspace end of the control channel pipe is a
|
||||
/dev/wwan0mbim0 character device. Application shall use this interface for
|
||||
MBIM protocol communication.
|
||||
|
||||
Fragmentation
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
The userspace application is responsible for all control message fragmentation
|
||||
and defragmentation as per MBIM specification.
|
||||
|
||||
/dev/wwan0mbim0 write()
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
The MBIM control messages from the management application must not exceed the
|
||||
negotiated control message size.
|
||||
|
||||
/dev/wwan0mbim0 read()
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
The management application must accept control messages of up the negotiated
|
||||
control message size.
|
||||
|
||||
MBIM data channel userspace ABI
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
wwan0-X network device
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
The t7xx driver exposes IP link interface "wwan0-X" of type "wwan" for IP
|
||||
traffic. Iproute network utility is used for creating "wwan0-X" network
|
||||
interface and for associating it with MBIM IP session.
|
||||
|
||||
The userspace management application is responsible for creating new IP link
|
||||
prior to establishing MBIM IP session where the SessionId is greater than 0.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, creating new IP link for a MBIM IP session with SessionId 1:
|
||||
|
||||
ip link add dev wwan0-1 parentdev wwan0 type wwan linkid 1
|
||||
|
||||
The driver will automatically map the "wwan0-1" network device to MBIM IP
|
||||
session 1.
|
||||
|
||||
AT port userspace ABI
|
||||
----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
/dev/wwan0at0 character device
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
The driver exposes an AT port by implementing AT WWAN Port.
|
||||
The userspace end of the control port is a /dev/wwan0at0 character
|
||||
device. Application shall use this interface to issue AT commands.
|
||||
|
||||
The MediaTek's T700 modem supports the 3GPP TS 27.007 [4] specification.
