    @Ed-Sutter Yeah you have to reboot or run fastboot reboot, it's still in fastboot mode. For example it'll probably show up with fastboot devices

      @tom PHEW! Ok, good... It did reboot with the recent kernel image. Now I have to run my tests to see if that helped my modem issue.
      Thanks much for the help, I'll post back here to let you know if it fixed my problem.

        @Ed-Sutter Great! I updated the README to make that step more clear.

          @tom Well, bummer... It didn't help. My test already locked up.

            @Ed-Sutter Hmm not too sure where to go from here other than contact Sierra for ideas.

            In the past we've used scripts that run in the background that monitor a network connection and re-enables the connection if it drops off, that might be the route to go.

            It would be a modified version of something like this: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-modem/-/blob/master/scripts/modallink_relink.py

                @tom I just noticed something... When sierra.py runs, the very last thing it does is write 'Y' into /sys/class/net/wwan0/qmi/raw_ip. That write is successful, but then a few seconds later, I can cat that file and see 'N'.
                What is running after sierra.py that would do that?

                  @Ed-Sutter I'm not sure, I think you'd have to dig through the qmi_wwan driver

                    Apologies for highjacking the thread and being a noob, but @Ed-Sutter are you able to build a system image from https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/system-image-build/meta-voxl ?

                    Or is this the kernel only that you then install ontop of an existing system image?

                      @Steve-Turner voxl-build allows you to build the kernel only which you can then flash on top of an existing system. Qualcomm licenses are required in order to build a full system image.
