compulab@compulab-imx8mp:~$ sudo nmcli connection down CellularCon

GPS

IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS features an optional GPS interface implemented with the cellular modem module.
Cellular module is an optional module and should be pre-installed into the gateway. Verify your gateway configuration for modem functionality.

GPS antenna

A GPS antenna is required for GPS operation. GPS antenna is not included with IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS. Any active GPS antenna with a male SMA connector can be used with IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS.
GPS antenna should be attached to SMA connector A on the gateway.

Admolition note.png GPS antenna should be positioned at least 1m away from the gateway

Using GPS

The cgps client can be used to display the GPS information.
The ModemManager can be used to check the modem status. For example, the following command shows the presence of the modem and the id of its interfaces. 

root@compulab-imx8mp:~# mmcli -m 0

The cgps client utility depends on the gpsd daemon (starts automatically after the initialization command is performed).

  • Initialization of the GPS interface:
root@compulab-imx8mp:~# sed -i "/^DEVICES=.*/c\DEVICES=\"/dev/ttyUSB1\"" /etc/default/gpsd
  • Enable the GPS with the following AT commands:
root@compulab-imx8mp:~# echo AT+QGPS= 1 | socat - /dev/ttyUSB2,crnl
  • Full power cycle is required before using GPS. Shut down the gateway, remove main DC power for at least 20 sec and restart.
  • Start the cgps client to display GPS information.

The synchronization process might take a few minutes.

compulab@compulab-imx8mp:~$ systemctl show | grep RuntimeWatchdog
RuntimeWatchdogUSec=0

The value RuntimeWatchdogUSec=0 means watchdog logic is disabled: no watchdog device is opened, configured, or pinged

Watchdog configuration

  • Edit /etc/systemd/system.conf file to configure watchdog related parameters, in particular RuntimeWatchdogSec and ShutdownWatchdogSec.

# comment-out sign should be removed from the relevant line in the file.

RuntimeWatchdogSec - specifies the watchdog timeout for runtime services, meaning services that are actively running during normal system operation. The value is in seconds and should be set to a positive integer.
ShutdownWatchdogSec - specifies the watchdog timeout for the shutdown process, insuring the system doesn't hang indefinitely during the shutdown. The value is in seconds and should be set to a positive integer.
  • Reboot the device
  • Verify watchdog configuration
compulab@iot-gate-imx8plus:~$ systemctl show | grep RuntimeWatchdog
RuntimeWatchdogUSec=10s

Watchdog testing

  • Run the following command to simulate kernel panic:
compulab@compulab-imx8mp:~$ sudo su
root@iot-gate-imx8plus:/home/compulab# echo "c" > /proc/sysrq-trigger
  • As a result, the watchdog is not fed and the system reboots after 10 sec.

Low Power Modes

IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS supports the following low-power modes:

  • Sleep mode - RAM content is preserved, and the system can quickly wake up into the operating system. Power consumption in sleep mode is ~0.25W.
  • Power-off mode - RAM content is not preserved, and the system will restart into a clean boot. Power consumption in power-off mode is ~0.02W.

IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS supports two wake-up sources:

  • Short press on the power button
  • Timer alarm set in internal RTC (rtc1)
Admolition important.png Only the internal RTC (rtc1) can be used for the wake-up alarm. Main DC power must be present to preserve alarm settings.

Low power mode examples

  • Sleep mode with exit by remote pin trigger:
echo mem >/sys/power/state
  • Sleep mode with exit by RTC wake-up call or power button press:
rtcwake --device /dev/rtc1 -s 60 -m mem
  • Power-off mode with boot on RTC wake-up call:
rtcwake --device /dev/rtc1 -s 60 -m off
In this example system reboots after 60 seconds.


Admolition note.png Low power sleep modes activation can sometimes cause incorrect behaviour in cellular modem due to race conditions among their multiple USB devices during wake-up.

LEDs

IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS features two user Bi-Color (Red + Green) LEDs named A and B LEDs are controlled via GPIO pins and can be accessed via sysfs interface.

  • LEDs are referred to as Green_A, Red_A, Green_B and Red_B
  • Choose a LED (LED B Red in this example):
compulab@compulab-imx8mp:~$ LED=Red_B
  • Turn the LED ON
compulab@compulab-imx8mp:~$ echo "1" | sudo tee -a /sys/class/leds/${LED}/brightness
  • Turn the LED OFF
compulab@compulab-imx8mp:~$ echo "0" | sudo tee -a /sys/class/leds/${LED}/brightness
  • Set LED's trigger
compulab@compulab-imx8mp:~$ echo "heartbeat" | sudo tee -a /sys/class/leds/${LED}/trigger
