I’m integrating a MC9090 (based on the SL9090) module on an ARM platform running Linux 3.4.42, Sierra QMI drivers S2.9N2.14+patches, and Sierra QMI SDK 03.00.02+patches. The patches applied are the ones previously posted to this forum.
Using connection manager (came with the SampleApps in the SDK), I can start a CDMA connection and get an IP address on the cellular device’s Linux network interface. I can then ping out to a host and get responses like expected.
At some point after this, traffic seems to slow to a crawl or completely stop. Pings timeout or an “unreachable” error is returned. The RX counters never incremented, and the TX counters either increment much slower than expected (1 packet every 2 minutes) or cease incrementing altogether. I can still query the device using the AT command interface.
The only thing that seems to fix the problem is power cycling the module. This, of course, causes an end-to-end reset of all components in the system.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Does anyone have a suggestion for what to do to debug this further?
Thanks,
Chris
