= How to use Telit Modem  =
 
 
 
The IGEP0022 expansion board provides a Telit [http://telit.com/en/products/gsm-gprs.php?p_ac=show&p=47 GE865] GSM/GPRS modem which is connected to the OMAP via some GPIO pins and UART 2.<br>
 
 
 
Here you have the official manuals from the manufacturer's webpage:<br>
 
 
 
*[http://telit.com/module/infopool/download.php?id=1666 Telit GE865-QUAD Hardware User Guide]<br>
 
*[http://telit.com/module/infopool/download.php?id=522 Telit Modules Software User Guide]<br>
 
 
 
<br>
 
 
 
Here there are a few instructions in order to introduce the Telit modem.<br>
 
 
 
If this is your first time accessing Telit Modem, check J402 and J403 jumpers are not connected before follow this tutorial. If you don't have these jumpers, don't worry because their functions are only for testing.
 
 
 
Insert a valid SIM card to the SIM card reader of your IGEP0022.
 
 
 
Now, you must add the following line at the kernel file (igep.ini) in order to enable GE865 support:
 
<pre>buddy.modem=yes</pre>
 
<br>
 
 
 
Now its time to power up your modem. You may read the Official manufacturer [http://telit.com/module/infopool/download.php?id=1666 Hardware User Guide], where there is a complete explanation about the sequence.<br>
 
 
 
In IGEP0022, the modem is connected to 3 GPIO pins from the OMAP, which are: &lt;omap_pin_name (modem_function)&gt;
 
 
 
*GPIO_140 (Reset)
 
*GPIO_141 (On_Off)
 
*GPIO_156 (PWRMON)<br>
 
 
 
You can power up your modem using the following sequence:
 
 
 
(Note: the following instructions are correctly 'toggled' do to pull-up resistors. Refer to schematics at the Official [http://igep.es/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=99&Itemid=129&dir=%2Fvar%2Fwww%2Fvhosts%2Figep.es%2Fhttpdocs%2Fdownloads%2F01-ISEE_Products%2FIGEPv2_EXPANSION%2FHW_Schematics&download_file=%2Fvar%2Fwww%2Fvhosts%2Figep.es%2Fhttpdocs%2Fdownloads%2F01-ISEE_Products%2FIGEPv2_EXPANSION%2FHW_Schematics%2FIGEP.0022-EXP_BOARD_SCH_rev_b3.pdf IGEP0022 Hardware Manual] from ISEE)
 
<pre>echo 0 &gt; /sys/class/gpio/gpio140/value
 
echo 1 &gt; /sys/class/gpio/gpio141/value
 
sleep 1
 
echo 0 &gt; /sys/class/gpio/gpio141/value
 
</pre>
 
Once the modem is on, you can interact with it via UART 2. You can use Microcom to comunicate with it from the serial debug console:
 
<pre>microcom -s 115200 /dev/ttyS1</pre>
 
(Note: GE865 has auto baud rate detection, so you can use a different speed)<br>
 
 
 
To check the modem status use the command::<br>
 
<pre>at</pre>
 
Answer should be OK.<br>
 
 
 
'''Note: correcting syntax with 'backspace' may cause error in a serial command if you are not writing the command at first take. Don't type <> when use the following commands'''
 
 
 
In order to use your GSM/GPRS you should connect the antenna as it is explained in the [[Getting Started with IGEP0022 board#GSM/GPRS antenna |Getting Started with IGEP0022]] article.
 
 
 
Now unlock it by inserting your SIM card PIN ;number. Use the command:<br>
 
<pre>at+cpin=&lt;PIN&gt;</pre>
 
If you correctly inserted the PIN number, the answer should be OK.
 
 
 
(Note: If you fail more than 3 times, your SIM card will lock and you will have to insert PUK number.)
 
 
 
Now you are ready to use the GSM/GPS modem.
 
 
 
== Examples  ==
 
 
 
If you successfully '''followed the the previous instructions''', you are ready to test the GSM/GPRS modem. Here are some examples of simple commands:
 
 
 
You can check the complete list of AT commands at the Official manufacturer [http://telit.com/module/infopool/download.php?id=522 Software User Guide].
 
 
 
=== Test received signal strength<br>  ===
 
 
 
Use the instruction:
 
<pre>at+csq</pre>
 
 
 
The answer should be: +CSQ: X,0. Where X is the signal strenght,for example 6 is poor and 15 is good. If the answer is +CSQ:99,99 you should be check the antenna
 
 
 
=== Making a phone call<br>  ===
 
 
 
Use the instruction:
 
<pre>atd &lt;number_to_call&gt;
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Press any key to end call
 
 
 
=== Sending a SMS<br>  ===
 
 
 
First of all, you need to configure the SMS format type. Telit [http://telit.com/en/products/gsm-gprs.php?p_ac=show&p=47 GE865] GSM/GPRS support PDU format and Text format. We use Text format. Type the following command:
 
 
 
<pre>AT+CMGF=1</pre>
 
 
 
There are so many ways in this modem to send a message. Here you have a simple example. Use the instruction:
 
<pre>at+cmgs="&lt;destination_number&gt;"
 
&gt; &lt;insert_here_your_text_message&gt;
 
</pre>
 
When you are ready to send your message use Ctrl+Z to send it.
 
 
 
If you want to cancel or restart the message press ESC.<br>

=== Requirements<br>  ===
 
 
 
*Have successfully connected the TFT Screen as explained at the [[Getting Started with IGEP0022 board#TFT_and_Touchscreen|Getting Started Guide]] or at the [http://igep.es/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=99&Itemid=129&dir=%2Fvar%2Fwww%2Fvhosts%2Figep.es%2Fhttpdocs%2Fdownloads%2F01-ISEE_Products%2FIGEPv2_EXPANSION%2FHW_User_Manuals&download_file=%2Fvar%2Fwww%2Fvhosts%2Figep.es%2Fhttpdocs%2Fdownloads%2F01-ISEE_Products%2FIGEPv2_EXPANSION%2FHW_User_Manuals%2FMAN-PR-IGEP.0022-001.01.HW_USER_MANUAL.pdf Official Hardware Reference Manual]<br>
 
*A camera or any device with PAL output video to RCA connector.<br>
 
 
 
<br>
 
 
 
----
 
 
 
<br>
 
 
 
There are two modules that you will use that are not inserted into the kernel: iommu2 (tvp5151) and isp.
 
 
 
You have to load these kernel modules before start:<br>
 
<pre>modprobe iommu2
 
modprobe omap3-isp
 
</pre>
 
(Note: The first load order must be the iommu2 and then the omap3-isp)<br>
 
 
 
----
 
 
 
<br>
 
 
 
Now, use the program media-ctl. This program is useful to configure the ISP. You can download it from [http://downloads.igep.es/files/media-ctl here]. Then you have to transfer it to your IGEP0022 (for example via SCP command).<br>
 
 
 
Now you have to configure the ISP and TVP5151:<br>
 
<pre>./media-ctl -r -l '"tvp5150 2-005c":0-&gt;"OMAP3 ISP CCDC":0[1], "OMAP3 ISP CCDC":1-&gt;"OMAP3 ISP CCDC output":0[1]'</pre>
 
Configure the video capture setup:<br>
 
<pre>./media-ctl --set-format '"tvp5150 2-005c":0 [UYVY 720x628]'
 
</pre>
 
Connect a video camera or any device with PAL output to the Composite Video RCA input connector of the IGEP0022.
 
 
 
Use gstreamer as live stream to capture video from your video source.<br>
 
 
 
Now setup the gstreamer pipeline:<br>
 
<pre>gst-launch-0.10 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video2 queue-size=1 ! video/x-raw-yuv,format=\(fourcc\)UYVY,width=720,height=628 ! omapfbsink</pre>
 
If everything was fine you will see the live video at the screen.

= How to use EEPROM  =
 
 
 
The IGEP0022 expansion board provides an [http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc5156.pdf AT24C01B] serial EEPROM memory which is connected to the OMAP via I2C.<br>
 
 
 
You can use easily simple reads/writes to access to the eeprom:
 
 
 
echo "hello world!" &gt; /sys/devices/platform/i2c_omap.2/i2c-2/2-0050/eeprom
 
cat /sys/devices/platform/i2c_omap.2/i2c-2/2-0050/eeprom
 
 
 
Or read/write from userspace using i2c-tools:
 
 
 
i2cget &lt;bus&gt; &lt;chip&gt; &lt;register&gt;
 
i2cset &lt;bus&gt; &lt;chip&gt; &lt;register&gt; &lt;value&gt;
 
 
 
For example, the following writes the value 0x22 to register 0x10 of device 0x50 on i2c bus 2:
 
 
 
i2cset -f -y 2 0x50 0x10 0x22
 
i2cget -f -y 2 0x50 0x10
 
 
 
See also: i2dump(8), i2cget(8) and i2cset(8) man page
 
 
 
= How to use CAN bus  =
 
 
 
The IGEP0022 expansion board provides a CAN interface using MCP2515.<br>
 
 
 
Several tools are provided by socketCAN to use this controller:
 
 
 
*candump: dump traffic on a CAN network.
 
*cansend: simple command line tool to send CAN-frames via CAN_RAW sockets.
 
*cangen: CAN frames generator for testing purpose.
 
*canplayer: send CAN frames from a file to a CAN interface.
 
 
 
In order to test the CAN interface you can connect IGEP0022 to a CAN device or network or to another IGEP0022 board.<br>
 
 
 
In the last case, you have to connect the two boards like this:<br>
 
 
 
Board 1            Board 2
 
.---                  ---
 
| 1 |-X            X-| 1 |
 
| 2 |----------------| 2 |
 
| 3 |----------------| 3 |
 
| 4 |----------------| 4 |
 
.---                  ---
 
 
 
If this is your first time accessing CAN bus, check J702 jumper is not connected before follow this tutorial. If you don't have this jumper, don't worry because its function is only for testing.
 
 
 
Now you can set up the interface (on all boards when using multiple IGEP0022 <span lang="en" id="result_box" class="short_text"><span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">connected to a CAN network simultaneously)</span></span>:<br>
 
 
 
/sbin/ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 125000
 
 
 
If you want to receive CAN data, use:
 
 
 
candump can0
 
 
 
If you want to send CAN data, use:
 
 
 
cansend can0 123#AABBCCDD
 
cansend can0 123#R
 
cansend can0 1F334455#1122334455667788
 
cansend can0 1F334455#R
 
 
 
On the receiver side, you must see the following messages:
 
 
 
can0  123  [4] AA BB CC DD
 
can0  123  [0] remote request
 
can0  1F334455  [8] 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88
 
can0  1F334455  [0] remote request
 
 
 
Switch roles and try it again
