Raspberry PI 3 + Cellv1.0 - Blue LED but no SMS

[donjohnii]

I have the same issue: RPi II with Jessie, blue light but no sms sending possible.

It hangs on the at_cmgf() command of the SparqEE module, where it prints:

Code: Select all

INFO:       CMD: Full

and then goes into an endless loop.

Has anyone a solution to this?

If it goes into an endless loop, it sounds as though the inittab is still pointing to the serial port. Make sure that line is commented out as noted in the setup instructions.

If this isn't the case let me know, but I have seen that behavior and the above was my solution. I assume you mean you can't do SMS or anything really.

As tomatorain has pointed out: there is no inittab in Jessie. Where can I find that instructions you are talking about so that I can have a look how to implement this into systemd?

It could also be an issue with the cmdline.txt. This is what it looks now:

Code: Select all

dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p7 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles

Can the mistake be in here?

Good call, I was probably referring to legacy stuff.

I did put together the RasPi 3 instructions here, which do differ from the old OS:

I'll have time to jump on the board later today, but for the time being, steps 3 and 4:

Code: Select all

3. Edit /boot/cmdline.txt

    remove “console=serial0,115200”

4. Edit /boot/config.txt

    add “dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt”

Yea, you need to remove the "console=serial0,115200"

Still stuck on this issue? Sounds like the modem needs to be reset or maybe a baud rate issue? Seems strange it would hang like that. I would suggest to try a manual connection and type some commands through minicom.
