  • BG96 RESET = D7
  • BG96 PWRKEY = D9
  • BG96 RX = D0(or D2)
  • BG96 TX = D1(or D8)
  • BG96 VCC = VCC(5V)
  • BG96 GND = GND

Tested with

  • NUCLEO_F429ZI
  • DISCO_L475VG_IOT01A
  • K66F
  • K64F

Below boards are Need to connect board's D2 and D8 to BG96's TX and RX on mbed_app.json

  • NUCLEO_L152RE
  • NUCLEO_F401RE 

 "QUECTEL_BG96.tx": "D8",
 "QUECTEL_BG96.rx": "D2",

1. Import the application into your desktop:

 ## Troubleshooting
 
-If you have problems, 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.
+* 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.
+* Enable trace flag to have access to debug information `"mbed-trace.enable": true`.
+* Try both `TCP` and `UDP` socket types.
+* Try both `"lwip.ppp-enabled": true` and `"lwip.ppp-enabled": false`.
+* The modem may support only a fixed baud-rate, such as `"platform.default-serial-baud-rate": 9600`.
+* The modem and network may only support IPv6 in which case `"lwip.ipv6-enabled": true` shall be defined.
+* The SIM and modem must have compatible cellular technology (3G, 4G, NB-IoT, ...) supported and cellular network available.
