      @DanielHviid The voxl-modem python script itself is not used for the 5G modem at all, nor is it meant to be run manually from the command line.

      The modem should enumerate on boot regardless of any other voxl-modem processes running, check this with ifconfig wwan0

      I recommend running voxl-configure-modem and selecting quectel from the options. It will then ask if you're connecting to ModalLink, choose no. Lastly it'll ask for the APN of your SIM card, choose from the list or enter a custom one.

      Once this is complete, the voxl-modem systemd service will startup and attempt to connect to your 5G network, the status of this service can be monitored with systemctl status voxl-modem

        I did a fresh system install to ensure there wasn't any lingering issues, but I still get the following error:

          Can you share a picture of your setup? Is the Quectel RM502Q-AE installed?

            I have tried two separate 5G modules, same issue.

              @DanielHviid Ensure that both black board to board connectors (left side in pic) are fully seated, the board looks a little crooked. Also double check that the Quectel module itself is fully seated in the pci slot.

              What software version are you running on your voxl2? You can check this with: voxl-version

                The board is fully connected and the voxl2 can find 4 USB connections through it. It looks crooked from the perspective of the image, but is completely parallel with the voxl2 and does not wiggle when pressed. The Quectel module is also tightly connected to the board with the screw that it came with, and I have neither loosened it nor removed it since we received it, with both 5g modem boards we have tested.

                We are running this on a clean install of the VOXL2 Platform 0.9 image.

                  @DanielHviid What do you see with the following commands:

                  ifconfig

ls /dev | grep ttyUSB

ls /dev | grep cdc

                      @DanielHviid That all looks as expected, what about if you run the quectel connection manager program manually: quectel-CM -s $APN where $APN is your SIM card's APN

                            @DanielHviid Can you try installing a newer version of voxl-modem?: http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dists/qrb5165/staging/binary-arm64/voxl-modem_1.0.3_arm64.deb

                            adb push voxl-modem_1.0.3_arm64.deb .
adb shell
dpkg -i voxl-modem_1.0.3_arm64.deb

                            This new package includes a newer quectel-CM source

                              @tom Definite improvement, but it seems to be stuck in initialization. This is the output of manually running it it.

                                @DanielHviid I haven't seen this before with SIM status: requestGetSIMStatus SIMStatus: SIM_PIN, I'm wondering if the SIM card is locked and is expecting a pin number? quectel-CM allows you to pass in a pincode with -p:

                                voxl2:/$ quectel-CM -h
Quectel_QConnectManager_Linux_V1.6.0.24
Usage: quectel-CM [options]
-s [apn [user password auth]]          Set apn/user/password/auth get from your network provider. auth: 1~pap, 2~chap
 -p pincode                             Verify sim card pin if sim card is locked
-p [quectel-][qmi|mbim]-proxy          Request to use proxy
-f logfilename                         Save log message of this program to file
-u usbmonlog filename                  Save usbmon log to file
-i interface                           Specify which network interface to setup data call when multi-modems exits
-4                                     Setup IPv4 data call (default)
-6                                     Setup IPv6 data call
 -n pdn                                 Specify which pdn to setup data call (default 1 for QMI, 0 for MBIM)
-k pdn                                 Specify which pdn to hangup data call (by send SIGINT to 'quectel-CM -n pdn')

                                  @tom Curriously, it does not seem to accept -p 0000, which was our pin. We changed it to 1234, which is accepted, but that didn't help with the issue, and it acted identically to providing the wrong pin.
