mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 1 # Example cellular application for Mbed OS
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 2
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 3 This is an example based on `mbed-os` cellular APIs that demonstrates a TCP or UDP echo transaction with a public echo server.
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 4
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 5 ## Getting started
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 6
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 7 This particular cellular application uses a cellular network and network-socket APIs that are part of [`mbed-os`](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os).
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 8
mbed_official 26:348eec457e58 9 The program uses a [cellular modem driver](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/tree/master/features/cellular/framework/API) using an external IP stack (LWIP) standard 3GPP AT 27.007 AT commands to setup the cellular modem and registers to the network.
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 10
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 11 After registration, the driver opens a point-to-point protocol (PPP) pipe using LWIP with the cellular modem and connects to internet. This driver currently supports UART data connection type only between your cellular modem and MCU.
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 12
mbed_official 26:348eec457e58 13 For more information on Arm Mbed OS cellular APIs and porting guide, please visit the [Mbed OS cellular API](https://os.mbed.com/docs/latest/reference/cellular.html) and [contributing documentation](https://os.mbed.com/docs/latest/reference/contributing.html).
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 14
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 15 ### Download the application
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 16
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 17 ```sh
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 18 $ mbed import mbed-os-example-cellular
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 19 $ cd mbed-os-example-cellular
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 20
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 21 #OR
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 22
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 23 $ git clone git@github.com:ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-cellular.git
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 24 $ cd mbed-os-example-cellular
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 25 ```
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 26
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 27 ### Change the network and SIM credentials
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 28
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 29 See the file `mbed_app.json` in the root directory of your application. This file contains all the user specific configurations your application needs. Provide the pin code for your SIM card, as well as any APN settings if needed. For example:
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 30
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 31 ```json
mbed_official 29:f1f568035f90 32 "nsapi.default-cellular-plmn": 0,
mbed_official 29:f1f568035f90 33 "nsapi.default-cellular-sim-pin": "\"1234\"",
mbed_official 29:f1f568035f90 34 "nsapi.default-cellular-apn": 0,
mbed_official 29:f1f568035f90 35 "nsapi.default-cellular-username": 0,
mbed_official 29:f1f568035f90 36 "nsapi.default-cellular-password": 0
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 37 ```
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 38
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 39 ### Selecting socket type (TCP or UDP)
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 40
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 41
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 42 You can choose which socket type the application should use; however, please note that TCP is a more reliable transmission protocol. For example:
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 43
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 44
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 45 ```json
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 46
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 47 "sock-type": "TCP",
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 48
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 49 ```
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 50
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 51 ### Turning modem AT echo trace on
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 52
mbed_official 11:23ea0907186e 53 If you like details and wish to know about all the AT interactions between the modem and your driver, turn on the modem AT echo trace.
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 54
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 55 ```json
mbed_official 11:23ea0907186e 56 "cellular.debug-at": true
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 57 ```
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 58
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 59 ### Turning on the tracing and trace level
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 60
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 61 If you like to add more traces or follow the current ones you can turn traces on by changing `mbed-trace.enable` in mbed_app.json
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 62
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 63 ```"target_overrides": {
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 64 "*": {
mbed_official 11:23ea0907186e 65 "mbed-trace.enable": true,
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 66 ```
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 67
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 68 After you have defined `mbed-trace.enable: true`, you can set trace levels by changing value in `trace-level`
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 69
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 70 ```"trace-level": {
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 71 "help": "Options are TRACE_LEVEL_ERROR,TRACE_LEVEL_WARN,TRACE_LEVEL_INFO,TRACE_LEVEL_DEBUG",
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 72 "macro_name": "MBED_TRACE_MAX_LEVEL",
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 73 "value": "TRACE_LEVEL_INFO"
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 74 }
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 75 ```
mbed_official 6:5678c0b6f74e 76
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 77 ### Board support
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 78
mbed_official 26:348eec457e58 79 The [cellular modem driver](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/tree/master/features/cellular/framework/API) in this example uses PPP with an Mbed-supported external IP stack. It supports targets when modem exists on the Mbed Enabled target as opposed to plug-in modules (shields).

mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 129 ## Troubleshooting
mbed_official 0:4611f6cf2413 130
mbed_official 11:23ea0907186e 131 * Make sure the fields `sim-pin-code`, `apn`, `username` and `password` from the `mbed_app.json` file are filled in correctly. The correct values should appear in the user manual of the board if using eSIM or in the details of the SIM card if using normal SIM.
mbed_official 11:23ea0907186e 132 * Enable trace flag to have access to debug information `"mbed-trace.enable": true`.
mbed_official 11:23ea0907186e 133 * Try both `TCP` and `UDP` socket types.
mbed_official 11:23ea0907186e 134 * Try both `"lwip.ppp-enabled": true` and `"lwip.ppp-enabled": false`.
mbed_official 11:23ea0907186e 135 * The modem may support only a fixed baud-rate, such as `"platform.default-serial-baud-rate": 9600`.
mbed_official 11:23ea0907186e 136 * The modem and network may only support IPv6 in which case `"lwip.ipv6-enabled": true` shall be defined.
mbed_official 11:23ea0907186e 137 * The SIM and modem must have compatible cellular technology (3G, 4G, NB-IoT, ...) supported and cellular network available.
mbed_official 11:23ea0907186e 138
mbed_official 11:23ea0907186e 139 If you have problems to get started with debugging, you can review the [documentation](https://os.mbed.com/docs/latest/tutorials/debugging.html) for suggestions on what could be wrong and how to fix it.
