Thanks for the fast reply. I tried the following:
- Soldered additional capacitors onto the power supply to stabilize the power control (both on 3.3V and 5.0V side).
- Tried to raise the 3.3 V supply voltage in order to counteract minor voltage drops (Datasheet claims that the modem supports input voltage range up to 3.6 V)
- I detected, that there was a Voltage drop in the USB cables (0.4V over 10 cm!!), which caused the power supply to not work correctly
-> I soldered an additional, external powersupply onto the Adapter with enough capacity. It should be now more than stable (3 A continous and 4 A peak on 3.3V side).
But, the modem/usb-stack still crashes. Now, when I run the ‘at!scact=1,1’ command. Note, that the SINR is below 0 dB at this point of time. When I unplug the device and reattach, the modem seems NOT to have rebooted due to the external power supply (the Current time
still runs and Reset Counter
did not increase).
I either receive the nonzero urb -71 error, or the usb device resets.
