Hi, I’m trying to receive the GPS NMEA location. Current FW version: SWIX55C_03.14.10.04 MBPL drivers are compiled from source. Modem manager says drivers: mhi-pci-semtech. Currently testing on Ubuntu: 24.04 LTS Using MBIM the data connection works fine. But mmcli -m 0 --location-status returns…

You can use qmicli to get nmea frame [image] Getting GPS from EM9191 MC/EM Series you can see my test in linux to get NMEA frame: sudo apt-get install libmbim-utils make sure MBIM port is enabled in AT!USBCOMP? connect antenna to AUX antenna port power on the EM9191 wit…

The MBIM interface works, the problem is that ModemManager does not recognize the location capability when in MBIM mode. It does while in QMI-mode, but then the data-connection does not work. Is it possible to use mbimcli while using ModemManager is using MBIM? Because I know 2 applications trying …

i don’t think mbimcli will use AT command, it should only use MBIM interface

but using mbim-cli while ModemManager is also using the mbim interface, is fine?

i don’t quite recommend using mmcli from your example above, it cannot even establish data connection

data connection works with mbim, not with qmi.

i remember qmicli works in my EM91 module: owner@ubuntu:~$ sudo qmicli --device=/dev/cdc-wdm0 --device-open-proxy --device-open-mbim --get-wwan-iface wwan0 owner@ubuntu:~/Downloads$ sudo qmicli --device=/dev/cdc-wdm0 --device-open-proxy --device-open-mbim --nas-get-signal-strength [/dev/cdc-wdm0]…

For us qmicli is stuck on connection state: registered. Journalctl lists the following error: Failed: Unsupported QMI Kernel driver for ‘net/ww’

do you mean your qmicli only cannot establish data connection? how about other command with qmicli like getting signal strength? Why don’t you just establish data connectinon by mbimcli and getting location by AT command or qmicli?

Qmicli is able to get signal strength and location. Solely data connection is not working. Using AT commands within our application results in issue because ModemManager is using the same interface. Which sometimes results in the modem not responding at all, which only fixes it with an at!reset.. m…

You can use qmicli to get nmea frame

The default mbim interface should be working fine
