I'm now working on a SIM800 plugin, specifically, for a UART-connected SIM800 and a Raspberry Pi Zero. There are minor adjustments that we need to make, so we've copied the SIM900 plugin to make sure that we can make adjustments in a clean way (and also compare it to a known-working SIM900 setup). I, too, was affected by the latest SIM900-related breakage - right now I'm compiling to check if it's resolved in current git master.
How different is sim800 to sim900? I would hate to have lots of plugins which are only different by a few lines of code...
Some questions I have are: - Is it possible to compile a plugin standalone and then only distribute that plugin? I'm wondering because Raspbian repositories already ship ofono, and given that ofono already has a plugin infrastructure, it seems counterintuitive to distribute a separate version of ofono through our repositories just because
You could, but it is usually far more trouble than it is worth. Just get your driver upstream and then upstream maintains and includes it as part of official releases going forward.
You also can't really utilize the concept of 'vendor quirks' doing it this way. So your plugin would need to reuse existing atom drivers as is or implement a brand new version of them and ship them.
we've added a plugin. I'm asking because it seems that plugins also need to be hard-coded in the plugins/udevng.c file - so I'd need to recompile ofono even if I compile the plugin separately... or not? (as we're using udev to enable the right plugin, as far as I can tell: https://github.com/ZeroPhone/ofono-config/blob/master/51-ofono.rules) Is it something that could be influenced by the new -p command-line option of ofonod instead? (which I found after compiling git master and running ofonod --help).
out-of-tree plugins generally need their own detection logic. But since this is a tty based device, the existing logic would still work...
-p/-P options are really meant for developer / debugging. Ideally whatever you do should not depend on the use of these command line options.
- judging by lsof output, ofono doesn't open the serial port until Powered is set to true (which is what we need), but does not close the serial port after setting Powered to false (which is undesirable for us, since, unfortunately, that same port might be used for debugging). Why? Is it something can be influenced by a plugin?
oFono by itself does nothing with serial ports, the drivers do. So it would seem your driver is misbehaving.
- Latest git master fails to compile on Raspberry Pi, due to #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wrestrict" in drivers/rilmodem/call-forwarding.c and drivers/rilmodem/network-registration.c . I can provide error output if necessary. Is it something expected?
This is the fallout GCC8 support. Feel free to start a separate thread and report these in full.
