=========================================== | ||
IOSM Driver for Intel M.2 PCIe based Modems | ||
=========================================== | ||
The IOSM (IPC over Shared Memory) driver is a WWAN PCIe host driver developed | ||
for linux or chrome platform for data exchange over PCIe interface between | ||
Host platform & Intel M.2 Modem. The driver exposes interface conforming to the | ||
MBIM protocol [1]. Any front end application ( eg: Modem Manager) could easily | ||
manage the MBIM interface to enable data communication towards WWAN. | ||
|
||
Basic usage | ||
=========== | ||
MBIM functions are inactive when unmanaged. The IOSM driver only provides a | ||
userspace interface MBIM "WWAN PORT" representing MBIM control channel and does | ||
not play any role in managing the functionality. It is the job of a userspace | ||
application to detect port enumeration and enable MBIM functionality. | ||
|
||
Examples of few such userspace application are: | ||
- mbimcli (included with the libmbim [2] library), and | ||
- Modem Manager [3] | ||
|
||
Management Applications to carry out below required actions for establishing | ||
MBIM IP session: | ||
- open the MBIM control channel | ||
- configure network connection settings | ||
- connect to network | ||
- configure IP network interface | ||
|
||
Management application development | ||
================================== | ||
The driver and userspace interfaces are described below. The MBIM protocol is | ||
described in [1] Mobile Broadband Interface Model v1.0 Errata-1. | ||
|
||
MBIM control channel userspace ABI | ||
---------------------------------- | ||
|
||
/dev/wwan0mbim0 character device | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
The driver exposes an MBIM interface to the MBIM function by implementing | ||
MBIM WWAN Port. The userspace end of the control channel pipe is a | ||
/dev/wwan0mbim0 character device. Application shall use this interface for | ||
MBIM protocol communication. | ||
|
||
Fragmentation | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
The userspace application is responsible for all control message fragmentation | ||
and defragmentation as per MBIM specification. | ||
|
||
/dev/wwan0mbim0 write() | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
The MBIM control messages from the management application must not exceed the | ||
negotiated control message size. | ||
|
||
/dev/wwan0mbim0 read() | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
The management application must accept control messages of up the negotiated | ||
control message size. | ||
|
||
MBIM data channel userspace ABI | ||
------------------------------- | ||
|
||
wwan0-X network device | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
The IOSM driver exposes IP link interface "wwan0-X" of type "wwan" for IP | ||
traffic. Iproute network utility is used for creating "wwan0-X" network | ||
interface and for associating it with MBIM IP session. The Driver supports | ||
upto 8 IP sessions for simultaneous IP communication. | ||
|
||
The userspace management application is responsible for creating new IP link | ||
prior to establishing MBIM IP session where the SessionId is greater than 0. | ||
|
||
For example, creating new IP link for a MBIM IP session with SessionId 1: | ||
|
||
ip link add dev wwan0-1 parentdev-name wwan0 type wwan linkid 1 | ||
|
||
The driver will automatically map the "wwan0-1" network device to MBIM IP | ||
session 1. | ||
