<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#006600;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I am looking into something similar for the LS1021 IOT and TWR systems. If you have found any general Linux tools that might be useful I would be interested
to hear about them (possibly by direct email if discussing such things is bit off topic for this email list).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#006600;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I reached the same conclusion as you; that connecting the device over USB, PCIe and UART to with a socket that could be accesses via an application or
command line should be possible. Most Modems I was looking it used an AT command set. I am not aware of any widely availed AT command libraries, so if further research does not reveal any I will implement the handful of commands I need in my own application
code. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#006600;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I have got such a modem to work under desktop Linux as a USB device. This seems build in to the standard Ubuntu desktop. I can see a series of UARTs
and a new Network point. From there I have mounted the modem onto the USB port of a LS1021-TWR board and got the community build firmware to come up. I just got back from holiday and cannot recall if I saw the new UARTs and a network device on the target.
Whether I get that working or not my next step will probably be to try getting things working with the modem connected via Mini PCI.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’m looking for any software support for a Cellular modem connected to IMX7 platform using a Linux distribution. Anyone having any knowledge about what is already supported regarding API’s and interfaces such as USB,
PCIe and UART to connect an external modem with a socket that could be accesses via an application or command line. I guess that UART will be preferred and use of AT commands.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
