Nope, it is an USB dongle (https://developers.soracom.io/en/start/connect/soracom-onyx-lte/) and I made a typo, it is an EC25 not EG25 (I was tricked by mmcli output and the modem revision which is EG25GGBR07A07M2G) [https://developers.soracom.io/assets/images/base-station.svg]<https://developers.soracom.io/en/start/connect/soracom-onyx-lte/> Soracom Onyx LTE Dongle Setup Guide | SORACOM Developers<https://developers.soracom.io/en/start/connect/soracom-onyx-lte/> The plan01s SIM is a 3-in-1 design that allows you to conveniently break out the SIM card into standard/mini (2FF), micro (3FF), and nano (4FF) form factors. As the Onyx LTE dongle uses the nano (4FF) size, take care to remove the nano SIM card size when removing it from its packaging. developers.soracom.io > See > https://modemmanager.org/docs/modemmanager/debugging/#qmi-proxy-or-mbim-proxy-debug-logs Thanks for the pointer, I'll do that. I did your suggested modifications (patches mm-broadband-modem-qmi.c) and it seems to change nothing (I keep getting my signal quality "cached" and I don't see "Signal Strength" indications beside in the beginning of modem initialization) Note: Since the log of MM and qmi_proxy took around 1MB , I choose to tar them, I hope it will not be refused by the mail engine. ________________________________ From: Aleksander Morgado <aleksan...@aleksander.es> Sent: Friday, October 1, 2021 9:55 AM To: Frederic Martinsons <frederic.martins...@sigfox.com> Cc: modemmanager-devel@lists.freedesktop.org <modemmanager-devel@lists.freedesktop.org> Subject: Re: Signal quality not updated with Quectel EG25 through QMI Hey, > > > But what do you want?

I've reviewed the log, and found that the thresholds given are very wrong I think: <<<<<< TLV: <<<<<< type = "Signal Strength Indicator" (0x10) <<<<<< length = 7 <<<<<< value = 01:05:B0:D8:00:28:50 <<<<<< translated = [ report = 'yes' thresholds = '{ [0] = '-80 ' [1] = '-40 ' [2] = '0 ' [3] = '40 ' [4] = '80 '}' ] The signal strength indicator allows configuring thresholds in the -127,+127 range (dBm), with a minimum of 5; but that doesn't mean we should evenly distribute the thresholds in that range. The docs don't say anything about this being RSSI, but I would have assumed it is, and in normal user setups we definitely don't expect any RSSI above 0! Could you edit mm-broadband-modem-qmi.c, method common_enable_disable_unsolicited_events_signal_strength(), and update the array of thresholds like this? static const gint8 thresholds_data[] = { -110, -100, -90, -80, -70 }; Variations in the antenna connection done manually should definitely trigger QMI indications reporting the signal quality updates if those thresholds are configured. P.D. it's probably time we start integrating the "newest QMI commands" support by default. -- Aleksander https://aleksander.es Your privacy is important to us.
