Using UbloxPPPCellularInterface with easy-connect

Trying to use the PPPcellular interface with easy connect and have enabled by uncommenting the entries: Note: we use UbloxAtCellularInterfaceExt here but the examples work with UbloxATCellularInterface, UbloxPPPCellularInterface or UbloxATCellularInterfaceN2xx (though noting that the N211 module supports only UDP and not TCP); simply uncomment/comment the correct options in the next few lines #include "UbloxATCellularInterfaceExt.h"

  1. include "UbloxPPPCellularInterface.h" #include "UbloxATCellularInterface.h" #include "UbloxATCellularInterfaceN2xx.h"

Parameters added to the call here simply to show how debug can be switched on For the N2xx interface, change xxx to MBED_CONF_UBLOX_CELL_N2XX_BAUD_RATE. UbloxATCellularInterfaceExt cellular(MDMTXD, MDMRXD, MBED_CONF_UBLOX_CELL_BAUD_RATE, false); UbloxPPPCellularInterface cellular; UbloxATCellularInterface cellular; UbloxATCellularInterfaceN2xx cellular;

However I am not able to compile (the orher interfaces compiles fine)

Compile [ 99.7%]: main.cpp [Error] easy-connect.h@45,1: 'UbloxPPPCellularInterface' does not name a type [Error] easy-connect.h@164,26: 'cellular' was not declared in this scope [ERROR] In file included from ./main.cpp:44:0: ./easy-connect/easy-connect.h:45:1: error: 'UbloxPPPCellularInterface' does not name a type UbloxPPPCellularInterface cellular; ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from ./main.cpp:44:0: ./easy-connect/easy-connect.h: In function 'NetworkInterface* easy_connect(bool)': ./easy-connect/easy-connect.h:164:26: error: 'cellular' was not declared in this scope network_interface = &cellular; ^~~~~~~

Any suggestions ?

It's difficult to say what's going wrong without knowing what your actually compiling.

What I've done below is to take the vanilla mbed-os-example-client, from scratch, and compile it with the fork of easy-connect that you are referring to above, just to show the steps to achieve a complete build. I've attached the files that I have edited, easy-connect.h and mbed_app.json, though note that I had to rename mbed_app.json to mbed_app_json.h as this forum interface doesn't seem to allow .json files to be uploaded.

Downloading the code:

Edit easy-connect.h to #include "UbloxPPPCellularInterface.h" and define UbloxPPPCellularInterface cellular.

Edit the "config" section of mbed_app.json to define "network-interface" as having the value "CELLULAR_UBLOX".

Edit the "config" section of mbed_app.json to add the required values for "default-pin", "apn", "username" and "password".

Supply my own credentials in security.h.

Thanks for answering Rob

I did follow your example and compiled with success.

What i missed was an entry in `mbed_app.json':

```` "UBLOX_C027": { "lwip.ppp-enabled": true, "ppp-cell-iface.apn-lookup": true } ````

Now my project compiles.
