Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Module

Unlike the X300 the X301 comes with a 3G / GPRS mobile boradband MiniPCIe Card from Ericsson.

The Card should be supported by the cdc_acm module.

After loading the module with modprobe cdc_acm you'll find three ttyACM devices.

Activating GPS

The Card even has a GPS chip.

You can activate it by sending

AT+CFUN=1
AT*E2GPSCTL=1,10,1
AT*E2GPSNPD

to /dev/ttyACM0 Use any terminal program to do so. (A simple echo will work as well.)

After this you will have the GPS device on ttyACM2. You can attach gpsd to ttyACM2.

If you want the gps output per second and not every tenth second, you can just replace the 10 with 1, and you get every second gps sentences You can configure this also via ttyACM1.

Option module maybe unnecessary

The option module mentioned above is maybe unnecessary because all needed devices (ttyACM[0-2]) are created by the cdc_acm module anyhow.

Note: I didnt tested all this by myself. I just worte a summary on what I read on the Ubuntu Forum and here

Tested it myself and it is unnecessary --Mru 20:13, 9 November 2008 (CET)
