jyijyi thanks for the driver info. According to relevant at commands, the modem is connected with my SIM recognized and good signal parameters. The drivers are working. However I noticed I don’t have the an entry in the android x86 settings > Network & Internet for “Mobile network.” I had assumed the drivers would have added the mobile network option, but perhaps that’s an android system app missing.
you need to integrate RIL driver in case you need to use that.
You can have a look on RIL integration guide:
https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airprime/software/android-ril-integration-guide/#sthash.mDYoRejB.dpbs
I had previously copied all the relevant Android 9 64 bit RIL files into the system in the locations specified. Part of the RIL guide talks about executing adb commands, but the system I’m working on is a Intel i5 host system, and not a phone.
Perhaps I’m missing shell commands to complete the integration of the RIL files. Is that correct?
Are you copying the binary which is ARM version?
Oh, I might be, don’t recall anything about ARM or X86-specific architecture. Will look a little closer tomorrow, and if they are ARM, then I’ll look for X86 versions.
Are you using Android 9?
I don’t see there is Android 9 RIL binary for x86 platform in source.sierrawireless.com.
Yes, Android 9 x86_64.
I don’t see there is Android 9 RIL binary for x86 platform in source.sierrawireless.com
Probably you need to contact distributor or SWI sales.
JyiJyi, according to the Android RIL Integration Guide, it does support x86 architecture up through Android 9, which is the version I’m running.
That said, I’m missing something for sure, even though the drivers are all installed and, seemingly, working. My guess is that there is some sort of interfacing software between the drivers, and the implementation. Perhaps someday I’ll discover what those are.
Thanks for the guidance.
Okay, just discovered the missing implementation. If the x86_64 board does not have a Radio Interface Later chip set, the settings option “mobile network” will not show. Apparently my board is missing that chip set and that’s the reason.
Wanted to put this on the record so that others will know.
Hi, im trying to do this but I have a dumb cuestion lol How to I do that? i must rebuild Kernel to put files on each folder or thers any “install” comando tru console? thanks!!
I know some basics on Linux but i dont get the clue to start, thanks
are you using Android ?
Hi! Yes, android x86 ver.8.1 in a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 370 whith same sierra module operative
what is the problem now?
Can you install the Gobi driver?
That’s one of the problem, how do I install? It’s an APK? Don’t see it inside file y download, or I must use console?
This is driver level, apk is for application level
Sorry for my clumsiness, but on linux I always update drivers with the console, usually using “sudo apt-update…”
I can’t understand how to install the driver with the provided documentation, I don’t see any “Gobi” repository or just copy and paste the files and that’s it? Thanks.
Have you compiled driver for your android image before?
No, but I have been reading something about it, the idea then is that I decompile the .img, make the modifications and after recompiling it change it?
Maybe i should start form here Android driver installation - #4 by Donald
