Big News! OrangePi 2G-IOT utilize GSM to connect Internet!

Buddy

Hi All friends:
  OrangePi 2G-IOT which base on 2G Modem, people can utilze GSM to connect Internet, Some day ago, it has been a hard work to make it work.
  But now, It's OK we can utilze GSM easily to connect Internel.

  Now, new Image (Ubuntu, Debian and Raspbian) has supported connect Internet via GSM.
  So, this section will introduce how to use OrangePi 2G-IOT Linux distro to connect Internet via GSM.
  We have two way to make it work.
1. Use new Linux distro Image from http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/
      You can follow steps:
      First, we need a SIM card. OrangePi 2G-IOT SIM support list:

Frequency Range： 850,900,1800,1900
Standard: GSM800

I use China Unicom SIM
               
      Second, Download new OrangePi 2G-IOT Linux distro Image from http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/
               
         Then, utilze "dd" write Image into SD-card

      Next.  Plug SIM card and SD card  into OrangePi 2G-IOT, then startup....
               
      Finally, Utilize "wvdial" to connect Internel, such as      

1. wvdial  Tom &

Copy code

            
              

2. Legacy Linux Image
     The Legacy Linux Image for OragePi 2G-IOT. You can follow steps
     
     First, startup your linux distro, (now support Ubuntu, Debian, Raspbian).
     Install essential tools, such as:         

1. sudo apt-get install ppp wvdial

Copy code

     Second, Configure wvdial      

1. vi /etc/wvdial.conf

Copy code

    Adding new contents

1. [Dialer defaults]
   
2. ISDN = 0
   
3. Modem Type = Analog Modem
   
4. Phone = *99***1#
   
5. Stupid Mode = 1
   
6. Dial Command = ATDT
   
7. Modem = /dev/modem0
   
8. Baud = 460800
   
9. Init1 = AT+COPS=0
   
10. Init2 = AT+CFUN=1
    
11. Init3 = AT+CGATT=1
    
12. Init4 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","OrangePi_2G-IOT","",0,0
    
13. Init5 = AT+CGACT=1,1
    
14. Username = " "
    
15. Password = " "

Copy code

      Configure ppp, such as:               

1. vi /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial

Copy code

      Alter contents:
               

1.   noauth
   
2.   name wvdial
   
3.   defaultroute
   
4.   replacedefaultroute

Copy code

   The last, utilize wvdial to connect Internet. such as:               

1. wvdial Tom &

Copy code

   Now, you can easily connect Internet.
            
            
   *** End ***

then insmod *.ko
you can find the gpio on /sys/class/gpio_OrangePi/PBX
But, it's a test modules...
