Hi, guys.
You can see that they are porting Android OS for others device using HaRET. I want that it will be for our devices too.
I read about HaRET and tried run HaRET with haretconsole on my device. But I found out that HaRET don't support our device yet. If you have HaRET source code, open file mach-types.h under folder include, you can see there many supported device but not Iolite or open the page
I sent an email to ask about support but nothing isn't now. If someone know how to do please tell me what i have to do?
Hope that Android OS will be ported for our device in the recent day.
Best regard!
woooow let's hope...
HaRET works on my Iolite. But I' a new user and not allowed to post links.

How do it work?
Yeah, it run but we can't deploy device with it. For example when you run command watch GPIOS (through haretconsole), nothing will be appear
It works, but not really stable. Sometimes ist freezes and some functions don't work like bluetooth. You can send and receive SMS, make some phone calls and go online via WLAN. I don't know, if UMTS is running.
I'm still waiting for a Mod to unlock my account.
But it uses a huge amount of energy.

Can you send me link via email [email protected], please?
Thanks in advance.
It could be this - kandroid dot org
No. I'm using not the korean version.
Android 2.0 is running on the Iolite, but too unstable. You can't use is it in anyway.
Did you have try it ?
Yes. It fills the whole 256 data.img with software. But the bigger problem is the necessary of a fast CPU. Everything runs slow and is more unstable. The Tattoo is not a similar phone to the Iolite.
I just found my problem. You should use HaRET version 0.5.1 (newest version is 0.5.2).
But I still can't make Android boot. Some changes in zImage are needed?
Android started with an unmodified zImage on my Iolite. But I have some new problems with Android and no time for solving.
Maybe the CPU is to slow for Android.
Can we have a link for the file?

I'm also using the new version of Android, which you can find on the same page. It works better, but you can feel the difference between 400Mhz and 528Mhz.
This is a LIVE guide to communicating with your phones modem by AT commands. The information contained here is collected on a continuous basis from various places after having some trouble finding all relevant information in one place. Now this place is here, and if not please post a comment on what's missing and where to find it, if you do know.
All results in this guide have been obtained using a Samsung Galaxy S2 running a stock rooted GB 2.3.4 with PDA:XWKI4 and PHONE:XXKI1 on the 2.6.35.7 Kernel.
The key documents to have as a reference when working with the Android AT command set are found at the 3GPP site. In particular these 2 documents:
[1] The ETSI GSM 07.07 (3GPP TS 27.007) specifies AT style
commands for controlling a GSM phone or modem.
[2] The ETSI GSM 07.05 (3GPP TS 27.005) specifies AT style
commands for managing the SMS feature of GSM.
These documents exists in many different versions, so they are not all equal in content. Make sure to check what document version you are using.
Background
To better understand mobile phone modems and the underlying hardware I strongly recommend reading Harald Welte's "Anatomy of contemporary GSM cellphone hardware" [3] and Telica's "Challenges in integrating modems on Open Platforms" [4]. To summarize enormously, I can say this. On a modern Android based "smart phone", there are essentially two processors. The Application Processor (AP) where your Android operating system (AOS) and user interface (UI) lives, and the Baseband/Cellular Processor (BP/CP) where all the GSM and other high-tech communication magic happens, including the modem we wish to communicate with. In the most modern phones the BP and the AP and all possible other peripheral devices are integrated into one piece of hardware, loosely known as a Smartphone or System on a Chip (SoC). On this SoC there are a number of peripheral devices such as RTC, UARTs, SPI, I2C, USB ports, SD/MMC card controllers and an ISO7816 SIM card reader. However, to preserve the layered hardware structure, the AP and BP still communicates via UART (serial line), USB, SPI or through shared RAM and/or a combination of these. Therefore there will always be some path directly accessible from the outside that we should be able to use to communicate directly with the BP. Exactly how this is done, is mostly unknown due to the closed source and protectionisitc nature of the SoC manufacturers, to the great dismay of the developer community.
Although there are several methods for invoking and controlling modem services, the two most common are through the AT Commands (ATC) and/or through Remote Procedural Calls (RPC). The ATC method is by far the most popular and the ATC set can be categorized as follows.
Code:
Call Control: Commands for initiating and controling calls.
Data Call Control: Commands for controlling the data transfer and QoS.
Network Service: Commands for Supplementary services,ME, operator
selection, locking and registraction.
SMS Control: Commands for sending, notifying, setting SMS services.
ME Control & Status: Commands for ME power,keypad,display,phonebook,RTC's.
The AOS provide support for this framwork in the Radio Interface Layer (RIL), which acts as the interface between the radio HW and the Java Applicaiton Programming Interface (API). However, the RIL is divided into 3 parts or layers if you want. (These are just arbitrary, and not GSM layers!)
L3. The Java RIL (AOS API) accessible to all but with a limited set of commands.
L2. The RIL Daemon (RILJ) acting as an interface between AOS and the Vendor RIL.
L1. The Vendor RIL, which is a closed-source and HW-specific implemetation.
L0. The OEM/Vendor modem HW and firmware then acts on the L1 ATC's. (?)
Thus the job of the RIL is to translate all the telephony requests from the Android telephony framework and map them to the corresponding AT commands to the modem, and back again.
Here are two useful pictures that try to explain the various RIL layers.
Fig.1.
Fig.2.
Finding the correct serial device for the phone modem
In your phone you will find hundreds of devices listed under /dev. Knowing which one is the serial device(s) used for communicating with your Baseband Processor's (BP) Modem, is key in getting a useful AT communication going. Here it is also good to know that there are several serial devices connected to the BP. These connections are working in parallel through a MUX. So it is very likely you will be able to use several different devices to send AT commands with.
So how do we find an appropriate local serial device on the phone? One way is of course to try to connect via some terminal application to all devices and send some AT commands and look for a response, but that is not very scientific or practical. Different phones may use different default (Modem) serial devices. One way to find the serial devices is by listing available tty drivers.
Code:
# cat /proc/tty/drivers
...
rfcomm /dev/rfcomm 216 0-255 serial
g_serial /dev/ttyGS 253 0 serial
ttySAC /dev/s3c2410_serial 204 64-68 serial
serial /dev/ttyS 4 64-67 serial
...
So what are these doing and which one should we try?
After Googling around we suspect that:
rfcomm = Used by Bluetooth serial devices
ttySAC = Used by serial SAmsung Console
g_serial = "DataRouter" (also see dun: (10,123) )
In addition and thanks to the documentation in Adam Outler's info package [5], it can be inferred from the block diagram that perhaps:
Code:
s3c2410_serial0 - UART0 - Bluetooth (ttySAC)
s3c2410_serial1 - UART1 - GPS
s3c2410_serial2 - UART2 - AP PMIC - A/S1 ??
s3c2410_serial3 - UART3 - AP PMIC --> AP Level Shifter --> BP UART ??
s3c2410_serial4 - UART4 - not used?
(PMIC = Power Management IC)
The block diagram is this one, from the SGS-2 service manual.
Connecting using: a local terminal application or the ADB shell
So from our previous results, we would suspect that we could use /dev/ttyGS0. Since Busybox contain the microcom terminal program, we can simply do:
Code:
# busybox microcom -t 5000 /dev/ttyGS0
AT
ATI
<nothing> :(
However, although the connection is successful, there is no AT reaction on that line...
[EDIT] (See notes in a later post.)
Connecting using: Windows
If you are using Windows, you can go into Device Manager (DM) to find the correct port(s) used by your phone. However, depending on whether you set your phone to be used as a "USB mass storage" device or not, there may appear different devices in the DM. Here we assume that we just physically connect the phone and do nothing more. I.e. We're not using the device as a USB storage.
Next, under the device class listed as "Modems", you will probably find at least two modem devices. For example, I have one called "HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP", which has nothing to do with Samsung and most likely came with the computer with some bloatware. The other one is called "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem", which is what we want. Then right-click to open Properties of the USB Modem device and navigate to the "Diagnostics" tab. Click on the "Query Modem" to send some test AT commands to your modem. If this doesn't work, you have a problem, and I don't have an answer. The result should look something like this:
Code:
ATQ0V1E0 - OK
AT+GMM - AT+GMM
GT-I9100
AT+FCLASS=? - (0,8)
AT#CLS=? - COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED
AT+GCI? - COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED
AT+GCI=? - COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED
ATI1 - Manufacturer: SAMSUNG
Model: I9100
Revision: I9100XXKI1
IMEI: xxxxx
ATI2 - Manufacturer: SAMSUNG
Model: I9100
Revision: I9100XXKI1
IMEI: xxxxx
...
See below for an explanation of these commands.
Now try this yourself with some terminal application. My personal favorite is the free and fully feature loaded "RealTerm". In the Display tab, use ANSI and check the "newLine mode" box, then in the Port tab, find your port as listed in Device Manager. For example, for me the modem port is located on COM port 12. This is listed as "12=\ssudmdm0000" in RealTerm.
Connecting using: Cygwin (on Windows)
First thing to know about using Cygwin, is that the windows COMn ports are addressed as /dev/ttyS[n-1], thus if you have connected your phone with a USB cable, and you find it is connected to COM port 12, then it will be accessible only through /dev/ttyS11 under Cygwin. Other terminal applications may use different ports. In addition you need to have installed/compiled some terminal program like: picocom, microcom or cu etc. Also make sure the COM port is not already occupied by another terminal program.
$ picocom /dev/ttyS11
...
This works as expected.
Some basic AT command structure
I'm not going to say much about the AT commands themselves, as they are almost as old as home computers themselves. However, let's have a brief look at the "Modem Query" above.
Code:
ATQ0V1E0
- This is actually a concatenation of the 3 commands:
(ATQ0 + ATV1 + ATE0) where:
ATQ0 - Disables echo suppression
ATV1 - Enables Verbose command results mode
ATE0 - Turns off local Echo
AT+GMM
- This one doesn't work in direct serial mode (!) and
is equivalent to AT+CGMM which shows the device model
identification. (I9100)
AT+FCLASS=?
- This queries the phone (TA) mode: (data, fax, voice etc.)
ATI
- This lists: Manufacturer, Model, Revision, IMEI
NOTE: AT commands can be concatenated on one line with each line starting with AT, and each command separated by ";". In some cases the semicolon is not needed. Typically a command without "=" or "?" is a general command, that sets or gets some parameters. But any command with "=" is a setting command, unless it is directly followed by "?", in which case you are querying the available/allowed parameters and their range. If the command is followed by "?" without a "=" it is a query, asking the values for something.
WARNING!DO NOT SEND RANDOM COMMANDS/CHARACTERS TO YOUR PHONE MODEM
Many AT commands can easily wipe or brick your phone or SIM card!
I am in no way responsible for anyone bricking their phones, and
I cannot help you if you do so. So you better know exactly what you
send before you send anything at all.

Here is a list with general AT commands and a brief description of their functions and the document section they are found at. The document version I used for the info extraction is shown on the first line.
Note: Several of these commands are deprecated or simply not available on the Android/Samsung phone modems, at least not int he form shown in that document.

The GT-I9100 Baseband Processor (BP/CP) Specifications
Currently I have got two different specifications regarding what BP is used in the SGS2, most likely due to the different versions available of the SGS2 in Europe vs. USA. The ones I have are:
Intel/Infineon XMM6260 is the "platform" that consists of:
a) The X-GOLD 626 (ARM1176?, 40nm) baseband processor
b) The SMARTi UE2 RF-transceiver (65nm CMOS)
c) The 3GPP Release 7 HSPA+ protocol stack with:
Downlink: Category 14, Uplink: Category 7
d) Alternative Names*: Infineon IFX6260 = Intel IMC6260 = Intel XMM6260
e) Picture: http://www.infineon.com/export/sites/default/media/press/Image/press_photo/X-GOLD626.jpg
f) Datasheet: N/A
g) Most likely used in European phones
h) is apparently also present in the iPhone 4S.. (check!)
i) Closest available documentation:
XMM6160 (X-GOLD 616, ARM1176) which is also used in the SGS-1:
http://www.infineon.com/dgdl/X-GOLD...f0004&fileId=db3a30431ed1d7b2011f5bee88ef75eb
The biggest difference is in the SMARTi-UE RF-chip. BP remains similar.
XMM6180 (X-GOLD 618, ARM1176 @416 MHz) used in the iPhone4 & iPad2:
http://www.infineon.com/dgdl/X-GOLD...f0004&fileId=db3a30431ed1d7b2011f5bec418f75e6
.
Qualcomm QSC6085 (65nm,424 CSP, 12x12mm) contain:
a) BP: ARM926EJS @ 192 MHz
b) + QDSP @ 96 MHz (also on BP)
c) Modem: IS-95 A/B, 1X Rel.0, EVDOr0, EVDOrA
d) is apparently also present in the "Verizon Wireless USB760 Modem"
e) Picture: N/A
f) Datasheet: N/A
g) Most likely used in North American (US) phones (CDMA)
*It should be noted that Infineon Technologies (Wireless Division) has been acquired by Intel Mobile Communications, in early 2011.
In fact these two differences just made a whole lot of sense from the available AT command sets. Basically the modem specific AT commands immediately give up the manufacturer of the modem firmware. (Yes, competing OEM developers do work together!) Because the command sets usually consists of 3 types.
The old school "Hayes" AT standard given by ETSI GSM 07.07.
Vendor Proprietary AT commands, specific for each OEM.
Carrier Proprietary AT commands, specific to some service providers. (E.g. AT&T, Sprint, T-mobile, Verizon etc.)
So for our 2 modem cases above we have the obvious Proprietary AT extensions:Qualcomm QSCnnnn: AT$Q<something>
Intel/Infineon XMMnnnn: AT+X<something>which indeed confirms the BP of my SGS2. Obviously there is a far easier way to reach this conclusion...---------------------------------------------------------------
TIPS!
To see what baseband processor you have,
you can enter into ServiceMode and check.
This should always work as many ServiceMode
functions are directly modem dependent.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Why? Because the ServiceMode application
actually reside in the modem firmware!Do this:Dial: *#197328640#

A small addendum about the SMARTi UE2 chip
The BP is communicating with the RF-tranceiver chip called SMARTi UE2
(labelled "5712"), using a communication interface that corresponds to
the (MIPI) DigRF 3G (V.3.09) standard. Through this protocol the BP
(or other device) can also control some aspects of the RF to some
minor extent. But without the proper specifications of the 5712, it
may also contain other interfaces...

Additional hidden AT commands on the SGS-2
Runing strings on the stock /system/bin/drexe , you will find the following AT commands embedded.
These are probably not directly supported by Modem, but rather interpreted by drexe, as
they're not present in the +CLAC list. In addition, some of them just don't work and maybe only
provided for backward compatibility for other devices and modems.

Very good to read, thanks for linking me that.
But just to correct - AT is abit deprecated interface in SGS, SGS2 and similiar models. It can be used to control modem directly from PC (not sure if PC is really directly talking to modem or to part of Android's HALs, which is then talking to modem, for eg. USB-UART multiplexer in I9000 and S8500/S8530 is capable to switch phone MicroUSB port between AP USB/UART and CP USB/UART.
The main controlling interface used in above models is RPC through oneDRAM shared-memory area. You can find devices like "dpram", "onedram", "modemctl" in kernel - these are critical for proper working of modem. Even if RIL is using AT commands, it does send them through RPC.
AP-CP UART connection seems to be used only for early booting stage (at least in I9000 and S8500, haven't analysed I9100 but guess that's similiar)
Ad1. There may be no real ability to communicate with modem directly on SGS2 and AT responses you are getting may be from Android, working on AP only, not AMSS (Advanced Mobile Subscriber Software - RTOS working on Qualcomm's CP)
Ad4. These datasheets are most guarded secrets of manufacturers. Only single, incomplete manuals leak from Qualcomm, not really useful. Also AP-CP RPC protocol is proprietary of Samsung, they got AMSS sources from Qualcomm and they are adding their own drivers there.
Oh yes, I gave Qualcomm as example, but is CP in SGS2 Qualcomm? It wasn't QC product on SGS1 but tbh it is also very closed source.
While AP-CP low level protocol is opensource (you can find it in dpram/onedram/modemctl drivers in kernel), higher level of that layer - compiled into sec-RIL, is not.
AP-CP protocol is different between I9000 and S8500 (general concept remains the same, just it has been rewriten so packet types and structures are different), but if you are interested - we're creating opensource RIL for S8000/S8500/S8530/S8600 device series, supposed to work with Android ports for them - http://code.google.com/p/bada-modemril/ (branch experimental-MochaIPC)
As I understand, SGS2 use intel's xmm6260 platform, which might also contain it's own interface/firmware etc.
As long as the modem works well, there is little need to dig into the details of how ril communicate with modem, but when the modem does not work as it should (In my case it refused to register on only one specific mobile operator), an AT command which can do a factory reset of the modem might be helpful

Hi, thanks for deep insight! I had to read your post 5+ times to take it all in.
That the AT is deprecated is no secret, but the fact (at least according to some firmware specialists) is that it will still be a while before the OEM's can get rid of the (AT) dependence of their secret and crappy proprietary firmware, that often need to be backward compatible...
Regarding whether I'm talking to AP or CP. You are probably correct that I am talking to AP through HAL. At least from SGS2 block diagram, UART-3 is in the AP, but connected to a level-shifter in the PMIC (still on the same SoC), which is in turn connected to the BP UART-X. (I don't have a clue why this is done so.) So in any case it seem that the AT's are reaching their destination, through some abstraction layer, which may explain why I can only talk ATC's from Samsung Drivers and not from a local (phone) terminal shells.
The question is, what happens if we try to use the Bada trick, to go into ServiceMode (SM) and enable the corresponding BP access? But the SM is different on SGS and that option is not clearly available. However, there is:
Code:
MAIN MENU --> COMMON --> DIAG CONFIG
[1] LOG VIA USB *
[2] LOG VIA UART
[3] LOG VIA IPC
[4] SPEED 115200
[5] SPEED 921600 *
[6] DBG MSG OFF (toggle)
[7] RAMDUMP OFF (toggle)
[8] DUMP ALL TRACE
But these do not seem related to AP/BP connections...[EDIT]
I found it! The selection of AP/BP connection behavior
when connecting your phone as a USB client, to a PC
host, can be manually set in the PhoneUtil (PU) menu.
This sets the behavior of your phone when connecting it
to a PC, so that you can select whether you like it to act
as a Modem or PDA, on the USB and/or UART port.
The PU menu is different from the ServiceMode menu.
Dial: *#7284#
Code:
UART:
[[B]o[/B]] MODEM[B]*[/B]
[ ] PDA
USB:
[ ] MODEM
[[B]o[/B]] PDA[B]*[/B]
* is default SGS2 setting.
However, after making the change to use USB in MODEM mode,
my host is asking for new drivers, which I cannot find... Now, if the modem controlling interface is using RPC, how is this reflected at the OS level? Still, any Linux based kernel is device based, so there have to be a way to talk to that device. (I have no idea how to work with RPC's...)
There may be no real ability to communicate with modem directly on SGS2 and AT responses you are getting may be from Android, working on AP only, not AMSS (Advanced Mobile Subscriber Software - RTOS working on Qualcomm's CP)

A: Agree, but HW hackers are often too much concerned with getting the exact datasheets. Rather try to get an old/similar one that is available... The old device drivers probably have not changed THAT much, but at least it would be a start.

Not hard to get lost, it took me literally few months to understand all these things. Sources are very messy - pay attention to Makefiles, some of drivers aren't even compiled in.
I9000 GB driver (it was reorganised, comparing to Froyo)
https://github.com/project-voodoo/l...erbread-samsung/drivers/misc/samsung_modemctl
I9100 driver is in I9100 kernel sources in /drivers/svnet/ and /drivers/dpram/ (maybe also somewhere else, couldn't find direct link)
You can find my implementation of SHP OneDram frames-protocol there, based on I9000 GB driver - http://code.google.com/p/bada-modemctl/ (it isn't working yet - noone tested it)
As you can see - it's only lowlevel interface of sending frames and few parsers.
Real parsers and senders of frames are in libsec-ril.so library of platform - you can open it with IDA (I suggest 6.0+, it does deal with GOT of linux DLLs much better than previous versions) and find booting modem, installing callbacks inside of dpram/modemctl, parsing and sending packets and so on. Have fun.
I have to say I'm pretty lost on the topic already. I've read about such stuff at the replicant project a while ago. Maybe you find some useful information there.
replicant.us (can't link yet)
Looks to me like they have free ril implementations for dream, n1 and nexus S.

If you have any question regarding samsung modems in Android phones, i'd be happy to answer them!
I'll attach the mail I sent back to E:V:A next
---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------
Modems on Android devices is a wide domain.
Phones differ on many things, like:
* modem chipset
* modem firmware
* transport modem <-> AP
* modem protocol
* user-space integration (Android RIL)
First thing is the modem chipset. There are quite a few. For instance on
HTC phones, you'll have the ones included in the MSM or QSD SoCs (which
is quite unusual, modems aren't often part of the SoC) IIRC.
On other devices, it'll be a separate chip connected to the SoC via
various transport methods.
I know better the case of recent Samsung phones, like Nexus S, Galaxy S,
Galaxy Tab (first gen), Galaxy S2, etc.
There, you have the modem, usually an intel x-gold 6xx, that is wired to
the SoC. So transport is done via serial line and/or some dedicated RAM
memory (not from the main sticks).
Even though a phone can have the same modem wired (at hardware level)
the same way, the kernel drivers can be different. That's the case of
nexus s and galaxy s. On the first one, modem Rx/Tx with AP is done via
ioctls while on galaxy s it's done via a PHONET network interface
(svnet0). SO it's not (and particularly on Samsung phones) only a serial
interface you can open with screen: you need to understand how it's done
and write dedicated software to reproduce this (cf. the code on
libsamsung-ipc/devices/ that is device-specific).
So once you have transport set up, you need to know about the protocol
the modem speaks. This depends on the firmware the modem is running.
I know that the modem used in Nexus S is also used in some iPhone (4G
IIRC) but it has a different firmware and so speaks a different
protocol. I suspect it to be AT on the iPhone while Nexus S speaks a
samsung-specific modem protocol. They invented that protocol and
rewritten the modem firmware to use it instead of AT or anything else.
This protocol is usually called "Samsung IPC Protocol" and we have a
free implementation of it in libsamsung-ipc and samsung-ril.
On the Nokia N900, transport is also a PHONET socket and the protocol is
neither AT nor Samsung IPC but some protocol made by nokia and
implemented in ofono.
So you have exemples of different transport methods and modem protocols.
I could give you more exemples.
Of course, on Android, you need to have the user-space programs (the RIL
mainly) to match both the transport scheme and the modem protocol to
have anything working.

> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471241
Apparently you were able to contact the modem with some AT commands.
Either the modem has an AT mode that can run along with IPC (would
surprise me, but why not), but it may very well be uncompleted and is
anyway not used at all in official binaries, either this is Android
emulating and AT device while sending back stuff from and to the RIL,
either this is not the modem.
Anyway I can tell you for sure that this is absolutely not the way to
talk to the modem properly. The correct way is to use the IPC protocol
and appropriate transport handling (which is way more complex than only
opening a serial line).
I just started the work on galaxy s2, I'll soon have done the transport
layer and we already know the protocol.

So no way to talk with the modem in Nexus S? Also if I use the REPLICANT rom?
Thanks.

Oh Nexus S status is very good (actually the best). That's the device we initally created libsamsung-ipc for (before, it was for samsung H1 and wasn't called libsamsung-ipc).
State of the modem using libsamsung-ipc and samsung-ril is at: redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/SamsungModems
basically, we have calls, sms, network registration and much more. Data is working but it's unclean on the code and needs more work. Note that I'm the only active dev on samsung-ril, and we're 2 on libsamsung-ipc. I'm also the one who added support for galaxy s and galaxy tab devices.
So in Nexus S, you can talk with the modem very easily, using libsamsung-ipc (which is a lib, so you need to use a binary, like modemctrl that comes with libsamsung-ipc).
Also, note that the SHR GNU/Linux distribution supports Nexus S as well and uses libsamung-ipc.

Hi Paul!
Thank you very much for your important contribution,
which really helped sort out, clarify and confirm many things!
I have just prepared a long response, but while writing it, more
fog has cleared and I will just go straight to my questions.
The rest (which is now less relevant) will be posted later as
a reference to others following this thread.
So my Questions to you at this point are:
Given the above pictures of the various abstraction layers,
how/where does the PHONET network interface fit in?
.
How does the "Samsung IPC Protocol" fit into this picture, regarding the translation and transmission of external terminal AT commands and their interpretation. [Perhaps you have link to a good/easy explanation of this protcol?]
.
How could we use this, to send ATC's from a local terminal?
I guess the ultimate reason for wanting to do this, is to be able to get closer to the radio-interface-layer, and thus be able to get access to those radio parameters, not normally available to applications via the limited Java API.
.
Alternatively, how would you propose a better way to obtain the various low-level modem variables such as the ones shown here? (Freesmartphone.org)
.
From the (poor) OMAPedia RIL-layer picture and the GT-I9100 block-diagram, it seem that there might perhaps be other channels available to communicate with the BP/Modem. (I.e. Through the UART, GPIO, McSPI?) Any ideas on how/if this could be done?
.
How could we build our own RIL(s) with minimal effort and test it?
.
For example, here is a copy of this, which is an example how to build Replicant RIL and then replace the local rild from command line to test with. Would be great to be able to do the same on the SGS2...without having to flash new ROMs.
.
How does the Replicant "libsamsung-ipc" differ from that used in the "Project-Vodoo: samsung_modemctl" ?
That was a bunch...
However, I would be happy to help contribute to Replicant if possible,
although you should keep in mind that I am not a professional
programmer in any way.
Here is the direct link to Replicant's Samsung RIL status page:

Recap of recent results
After the last post by Paul, things have become more clear. The following are the results I got up until then.
On the first one [Nexus S], modem Rx/Tx with AP is done via
ioctls while on Galaxy S it's done via a PHONET network interface
(svnet0). SO it's not (and particularly on Samsung phones) only a serial
interface you can open with screen: you need to understand how it's done
and write dedicated software to reproduce this...

The problem is to understand why I can communicate with ATC's from
outside (USB connected) terminal, but not from a local (on phone)
terminal, like for example /dev/ttyGS0. At this point I do understand that
the "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem" interface, together with ADB drivers,
provides some kind of (USB to HCI-socket to Modem) protocol converter,
and probably speaks directly to RIL and not the CP or Modem. We now
know that this is the Proprietary protocol called "Samsung IPC Protocol".
But if this is the case I thought I should still be able to find (and intercept)
whatever internal sockets or protocols used, to be able to establish and
send ATC's to the modem. But so far I have only been able to do the
following.
The setup:
Code:
[MY-PC] [RealTerm] <-- USB-cable --> [I9100]
Sending ATC's here is working as expected. I then tried to find the
devices/sockets/processes that handle this communication, and suddenly
I found myself in very murky waters. Trying to connect to the various local
devices on the phone, and not to sockets, as I do not know how to do that.
I had partial success, when I earlier tracked down /dev/ttyGS0 as having
something to do with the DataRouter. As I used nc to connect to
the ttyGS0 device during a RealTerm session, like this:
# nc -f /dev/ttyGS0
I could send characters to
RealTerm side, but the Modem never got anything. And when I typed on
RealTerm, only a few characters appeared on ttyGS0, but the modem did
respond normally. So I concluded that /dev/ttyGS0 is somehow used for
receiving modem responses, while some other protocol or device is used
for transmitting to modem. (This is now confirmed by the previous posts!)
How did I do this?
Unlike on other/older Android phones, the ATC's are not shown in logcat
under the tag "D/AT" but rather under "E/DataRouter"! So open another
window (adb shell) session and run: # logcat DataRouter:E *:S
Then open your (PC) terminal and send a few ATC's.
When sending an "AT"command, they will appear as:
Code:
E/DataRouter( 2585): After the usb select
E/DataRouter( 2585): Before checking the modem suspend state
E/DataRouter( 2585): PDP is resumed now
E/DataRouter( 2585): After checking the modem suspend state
E/DataRouter( 2585): Path set is [B][COLOR=Black]DATA_PATH_CHAR_MODEM[/COLOR][/B]
E/DataRouter( 2585): Send [1] bytes to SMD. message:A
E/DataRouter( 2585): Sending data to SMD: Len = [1]
E/DataRouter( 2585): buffer = [A]
E/DataRouter( 2585): Wrote 1 chars to EXTERNAL PORT [B][COLOR=Red]fd=17 ch = 41[/COLOR][/B]
E/DataRouter( 2585): Before the usb select
E/DataRouter( 2585): After the Modem Read select
E/DataRouter( 2585): Read 1 chars from SMD Modem file fd = 17
E/DataRouter( 2585): buf = A
E/DataRouter( 2585): Wrote 1 chars to USB PORT fd=29
E/DataRouter( 2585): buf=A
E/DataRouter( 2585): Before the Modem Read select
E/DataRouter( 2585): After the usb select
E/DataRouter( 2585): Before checking the modem suspend state
E/DataRouter( 2585): PDP is resumed now
E/DataRouter( 2585): After checking the modem suspend state
E/DataRouter( 2585): Path set is DATA_PATH_CHAR_MODEM
E/DataRouter( 2585): Send [1] bytes to SMD. message:T
E/DataRouter( 2585): Sending data to SMD: Len = [1]
E/DataRouter( 2585): buffer = [T]
But I didn't know exactly what to make from this, for example;
a) What is the "ch = 41" specification? It is just the ASCII of an "A" sent to
a device/file called 17. But when writing, it is called "EXTERNAL PORT"
while on reading, it's from "SMD Modem file"...
b) What is the DATA_PATH_CHAR_MODEM variable? I cannot find any
reference to this anywhere! I then found the devices and sockets by
identifying the file handles (fd) in the (datarouter) process directory:
Code:
[B]# busybox ls -al --color=never /proc/2585/fd[/B]
fd=17 --> socket:[1904]
fd=29 --> /dev/ttyGS0
NOTE: I prefer to always use the busybox binaries, as I no longer trust
the Samsung ones to give the complete/proper information...
Given the more recent information from previous posts, I decided to look for svnet.
Code:
[B]# find / -iname "*svnet*"[/B]
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/svnet0
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/svnet0
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/neigh/svnet0
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/svnet0
...
/proc/[B][COLOR=SeaGreen]<process-id>[/COLOR][/B]/net/dev_snmp6/svnet0
...
/sys/devices/virtual/net/svnet0
/sys/bus/usb/drivers/cdc_svnet
/sys/class/net/svnet0
[B]
# ls -l /sys/devices/virtual/net[/B]
drwxr-xr-x root root 2012-02-03 05:56 lo
drwxr-xr-x root root 2012-02-02 12:34 svnet0
drwxr-xr-x root root 2012-02-02 12:34 sit0
drwxr-xr-x root root 2012-02-02 17:21 pdp0
These are all interesting and relevant , but I have no idea what
they all do... But /sys/bus/usb/drivers/cdc_svnet are all linked to
the HCI-USB devices under: /sys/devices/platform/s5p-ehci/usb1/1-2
and contain 4 of each of:
- "CDC Communication Interface"
- "CDC Data Interface"

Okay but I would like to send AT Commands from Android terminal to the modem or from an APP in Android. Can I find using REPLICANT ROM the folder /dev/smd0?
I found this an interesting read. http://download.maritex.com.pl/pdfs/wi/GSM-TM2.pdf It has a lot of information in it.

Ahh, yes. I was just updating the AT+Xzzzz sets form various sources. (The best one by far was the Google available: "AMOD HSPA Modules_AT_Command Specification".) I had to move the list to post #3. Now there are only a very few missing. The others I did not bother to re-explain/merge with the already known and "standard" ones...
There are a lot of implementations of the AT set. There are official documents with all the standard commands. Take a look at wiki.openmoko.org page: Hardware:AT_Commands (links to ETSI and 3GPP documents).

IIRC, there is an UART debug line that can be used to talk to the modem directly. On Nexus S, the ttyFIQ0 node was related to UART. Maybe you can route the modem to ttyFIQ0 by dealing with /sys/class/sec/uart_switch/UART_SEL/value
Important fact: note this on Galaxy S2 init.rc:
chown radio system /sys/class/sec/uart_switch/UART_SEL/value
Really try to look at that sys node and you'll perhaps succeed to get it (modem UART line) routed on ttyFIQ0 on the device.
Also, look at the FSA something component in the kernel sources: it's highly related to the UART line. It was FSA9480 on Nexus S. Look at NexusSBootloader#Serial-Console on Replicant Redmine wiki to see how we used it.
I seriously doubt there is any kind of protocol converter that converts Samsung IPC data to AT commands on this line. In my opinion the line you get is most probably the modem debug UART line.
It looks like this:
Modem <-> UART line <-> FSA9480 <-> USB <-> Host PC
|<-> kernel driver <-> RIL <-> Android framework
And the idea would be to redirect the modem uart line to ttyFIQ0. I don't know if you have to do the routing via the FSA component. I know someone who perhaps knows better about that.
---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------
The logs with DataRouter are really interesting. These are not part of the RIL (I checked with strings) but there is definitely something *software* between the modem and your terminal on PC.
Hi!
I am currently working on a CM 7.2 port for the Dell Streak 5, which I want to share soon (I can't post this in the dev forum because I don't have enough posts written just yet). Currently I am trying to find a fix or a workaround for the following problem:
Sometimes, the Streak immediately reboots and shows the Dell logo. It just shows the following kernel logs (also written to LogCat):
Code:
07-03 19:13:09.348 W/PrintK ( 83): ARM9 has CRASHED
07-03 19:13:09.348 W/PrintK ( 83): smd_diag, smem: DIAG ''

07-03 19:13:10.430 W/PrintK ( 83): ARM9 has CRASHED
07-0
When I searched the kernel source, it seems that the following lines in arch/arm/mach-msm/smd.c are responsible for this log output (ommitting the parts that are not compiled):
Code:
#if defined (CONFIG_QSD_ARM9_CRASH_FUNCTION)
void smd_diag(void)
{
char *x;
x = smem_find(ID_DIAG_ERR_MSG, SZ_DIAG_ERR_MSG);
if (x != 0)
{
SMD_CRASH_LOG( "%s, smem: DIAG '%s'\n", __func__, x);
queue_work(crash_work_queue, &smd_crash_worker);
}
}
#else /* CONFIG_QSD_ARM9_CRASH_FUNCTION */
/* ommitted (not compiled) */
#endif /* CONFIG_QSD_ARM9_CRASH_FUNCTION */
static void handle_modem_crash(void)
{
SMD_CRASH_LOG( "ARM9 has CRASHED\n");
smd_diag();
/* hard reboot if possible FIXME
if (msm_reset_hook)
msm_reset_hook();
*/
/* in this case the modem or watchdog should reboot us */
#ifndef CONFIG_QSD_ARM9_CRASH_FUNCTION /* return imediately for kernel to do something */
for (;;)
#endif /* CONFIG_QSD_ARM9_CRASH_FUNCTION */
;
}
It seems that the modem is crashing and forces the device to reboot. The severe problem is that sometimes the device ends up rebooting again and again, suddenly stuck in the Dell logo - so maybe the reboot performed by the modem is not correct. But in the optimal case the device should just reset the modem, and not reboot the entire device.
As the radio drivers are only available in binary form (of course) and the device already is EOL, I really need help to find a good workaround. Does anybody have a solution to this problem?
I discovered that there is a kernel driver available in arch/arm/mach-msm/reset_modem.c that sounds interesting. It should be able to reset the modem by writing the appropriate command to a kernel device, and which is compiled as a kernel module in the default Dell Streak kernel config. Has anybody tried this out yet?
Thanks in advance & regards
Marc
PS: I am using the Phoenix kernel by the DSC Team, added with some patches by _n0p_.
Hi Marc!
How severe this problem is?
Hi _n0p_!
It's very severe to me - I have a couple of these devices here, and it's really critical if they turn off during operation (and some of them don't even come back up again afterwards).
It would be better if the radio was reset on failure - I can afford that the devices do not have a radio connection for a couple of seconds. Or at least this is what I hope.
There's a "System Type -> Reset Modem Driver" module option in kernel.
May sound dumb, but maybe it needs it?

I recompiled the kernel with this module built-in, but from what I read from the source code it's just providing a device /dev/reset_modem to enable users to reset the modem from userspace (as root). However, this will not be possible entirely if the kernel itself is rebooting already, leaving no chance to any userspace commands. I believe this has to be fixed in the kernel itself. Right now I am looking at the method smsm_reset_modem in the file smd.c which sounds quite interesting. Maybe I can deactivate the code for rebooting the device there and instead run code to reset the modem. Interestingly, setting CONFIG_QSD_ARM9_CRASH_FUNCTION to 'n' in the config leads to kernel compilation errors - so the Streak was never intented to resolve modem problems the better way...
By the way, a few minutes ago I was able to log a modem restart during the reboot loop with LogCat:
pastebin.com/9U3XPxdK (yay, I can not post links yet :/ )
This looks really ugly - but it could help during debugging the problem. It would be much nicer to know what actually forces the modem to restart... (is it possible to get the stack trace during runtime, maybe by using a special macro?)
cant you check on the build based on the cm7.2 that already at the dev section? if it is not all, at least some of it would help...

I don't know exactly what triggers the problem - maybe the devices run fine for a long time, but crash when using GPS + network in some odd way, or when the network type switched from 2G to 3G or back - I really can't tell.
As for CM 7.2, I had to build from the sources (both Kernel and CM) in order to do fixes to the ROM etc. Maybe I could try out the CM 7.2 build, but even if the problem would (not) exist there, too, I would be back to the start.
At least yesterday I tried out the reset_modem kernel module and tried all commands I could find in the source on the device /dev/reset_modem - it just crashed the modem and the device all the time, instead of one command which was effectively doing nothing. So back to the start... :-(
man... that does sucks... well... i wish you all the best nonetheless... :good:
Where's an interesting module param:
msm_smd_debug_mask

Also, according to:
Code:
#define MODEM_CRASH_NOTIFY_USER
extern void qi2ccapkybd_set_led(unsigned int light);
#define MODEM_CRASH_NOTIFY_USER_0 do {qi2ccapkybd_set_led(0x0);} while(0)
#define MODEM_CRASH_NOTIFY_USER_1 do {qi2ccapkybd_set_led(0xFFFFFF);} while(0)
It should blink leds on going to reboot.

This actually leads me to think that we now free of "Blinking LEDs problem" and maybe, just maybe changing AMSS (BB) might help with modem reset problem.

last time i downgraded from rom based on 407 to 366 and although the blinking led happens.. but phone continue to work like normal... :laugh:
and yeah... 366 does have a good voice quality... and not mention excellent cell tower reception... it is proven since i have been in the building where reception is pretty much poor.. but with 366... somehow it almost always full...
but since nobody make a custom ROM based on 366, i had to sadly use other ROM...
As it's a bit offtopic, let's continue here:

Hey _n0p_!
Yeah, that seems to be the code that leads to blinking LED sensor keys on wrong AMSS!
As for the AMSS/DSP1 partitions, I currently use the newest from the original Streak 407 firmware, which I flashed via 'fastboot flash amss amss.mbn' and 'fastboot flash dsp1 dsp1.mbn'. Maybe that leads to the problems.
So you would recommend downgrading to amss 366? Although it does not match the kernel version and Android version? Isn't this a bad idea in general?
And for the DSP1, which version do you recommend - also from 366? Or the complete 366 update.pkg?
I am currently testing the image I flashed after initially flashing the 407 package the correct way - maybe this fixes the problems. Otherwise I will try 366.
By the way: Is there a good overview available what all the other files do, e.g. fsbl.mbn, osbl.mbn, dbl.mbn and appsboot.mbn?
From what I know, DT.img is the bootloader, amss the baseband software and dsp1 the DSP software for audio. And I know it's dangerous to flash the files individually, as I was able to completely brick a device by just flashing one of these special partitions...
Well, i'm using 366 right now. Too early to tell a conclusion, but it seems like default audio output is lower then in 4062 BB.
So far no glitches.
And i'm using only AMSS.
--
AFAIK DT.mbn is firmware updater, but I might be wrong.
Also DSP also works for video processing as well.

Do you mean disabling CONFIG_QSD_ARM9_CRASH_FUNCTION in the kernel config? I did this, recompiled (had to fix a small include error after that, too) and tried it out - so far it crashed again after some time of usage.
BTW, how did you disable the AMSS version check? I guess you disabled the option CONFIG_QSD_OEM_RPC_VERSION_CHECK - but it's good to know.
I thought of simply trimming that rpc probe proc.
And you are right, that's the conf value plus needs ifdefing undeclared version check (in this case), variable.
Marc, it seems like
#if 0
//#ifdef CONFIG_BUILDTYPE_SHIP
SMD_CRASH_LOG( "%s: restart system\n", __func__);
queue_delayed_work(restart_work_queue, &smd_crash_restart_worker,
MODEM_CRASH_RESTART_TIMEOUT);
#endif /* CONFIG_BUILDTYPE_SHIP */
would reboot device only if modem in reset state and camera button is pressed.

I tried your code, as well as some other fixes. It always led to a kernel loop and the modem didn't come back, so in the end I just included a solution to detect the problem and continue to reboot the device.
From what I learned in the last few weeks, it seems the complete ARM processor goes down with the modem. In the end, it seems to be a hardware problem, because I noticed the following facts:
Even if I completely re-flash a device that shows an error, it still occurs - especially when the network is used.
Some devices do not show this problem and can run for a long time. Other devices that had this problem always continue to have this problem. Even after re-flashing and even using different amss/dsp1 versions and on the original software.
What's more: I also had the problem on a new device that never had a custom ROM on it. Yeah, using the original firmware.
So in the end everyone should be better off to throw away his device if this problem occurs.
