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

        @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')
                          -m iface-idx                           Bind QMI data call to wwan0_<iface idx> when QMAP used. E.g '-n 7 -m 1' bind pdn-7 data call to wwan0_1
                          -b                                     Enable network interface bridge function (default 0)
                          -v                                     Verbose log mode, for debug purpose.
                          [Examples]
                          Example 1: quectel-CM 
                          Example 2: quectel-CM -s 3gnet 
                          Example 3: quectel-CM -s 3gnet carl 1234 1 -p 1234 -f gobinet_log.txt

                            @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.
