Thanks Julien and Robert, I have already determined to use the oFono
and ConnMan, I have been long advocate to ask my colleagues to
consider using connection manager, your comments even strengthen my
arguments for me to convince my colleagues.
It is pity that our device is small with about 125 MB flash and about
250 MB ram which cannot fit the Debian 9 armhf, we have to use OpenWrt
which dose not support oFono and ConnMan I have to build myself.
Running shell script or python script is not big deal, but to set up
low modem driver to oFono and ConnMan may take time to learn. I am
taking your kind and warm advice.
Thank you and indeed appreciate it.
Kind regards,
jupiter
