GW16126 miniPCIe BLE / LTE Cat-M1 modem

The GW16126 is a miniPCIe form-factor card that features both a BLE 5.0 radio and a Cat-M1 modem designed for the IoT market.

The GW16126 interfaces with a host over USB 2.0 and uses the following pins on the miniPCIe card edge:

  • GND: pin 4,9,15,18,21,26,27,29,34,35,40,43,50
  • VDD_3P3: pin 2,24,39,41,52
  • USB_DM: pin 36
  • USB_DP: pin 38

Power draw varies greatly with the activity of the LTE Cat-M1 modem but typically varies between the milliwatt range to a max of around 2W

On the USB bus the following are present:

  • USB2514 USB 2.0 2-port HUB
    • FT231X USB UART connected to a u-blox NINA-B30x BLE module
    • u-blox NINA-B301 BLE module USB 2.0 controller
    • u-blox SARA-R4 Cat M-1 / NB1 modem with nano-SIM socket

These look like the following with lsusb: 

ID 05c6:90b2 Qualcomm, Inc. 
ID 0403:6015 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd Bridge(I2C/SPI/UART/FIFO)
ID 0424:2514 Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub

The following devices will be created by the kernel modules:

  • /dev/ttyUSB0 (hci_uart) (CONFIG_BT_HCIUART, CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_H4 hci_uart)
  • /dev/ttyUSB1 (qcdm) (CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_OPTION option)
  • /dev/ttyUSB2 (at) (CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_OPTION option)
  • /dev/cdc-wdm0 (qmi) (CONFIG_USB_NET_QMI_WWAN qmi_wwan)
  • /sys/class/net/wwan0 (net) (CONFIG_USB_NET_QMI_WWAN qmi_wwan)

The drivers do not add the modem device ID (05c6:90b2) until mainline kernel 4.17.

If for some reason you don't have all the drivers enabled above or have them static, you may find the /dev/ttyUSB devices enumerate in a different order. You can use a variety of ways to determine which device is which:

  • mmcli -m 0 will report details about detected modems and what devices they are on
  • ls -d /sys/bus/usb/drivers/ftdi_sio/*/ttyUSB* will tell you which tty is attached to the ftdi_sio driver to attach the Bluetooth HCI_UART to
  • ls -d /sys/bus/usb/drivers/option/*/ttyUSB* will tell you which tty's are attached to the option driver for the modem.

u-blox SARA-R4 LTE Cat M-1 modem

The ​u-blox SARA-R410M-52B LTE Cat M1 modem supports M1 bands 2,4,5,12,13. For more info on the CATM1 standard and use cases see the following ​CATM1 Explained Link.

The modem features a Qualcomm chipset that uses the 'option' and 'qmi_wwan' Linux drivers providing the following devices:

  • /dev/ttyUSB1 (qcdm)
  • /dev/ttyUSB2
  • /dev/cdc-wdm0 (qmi)
  • /sys/class/net/wwan0 (net)

The modem is supported by Linux ModemManager and libqmi-utils.

General modem information that should be understood is located on the Gateworks Modem Wiki Page

Note, because this modem uses raw-ip, DHCP does not work and a IP will not automatically be applied to the interface. The provider will give an IP and then it must manually be applied to the wwan0 interface.

u-blox NINA-B301 BLE module

The u-blox ​NINA-B301 stand-alone Bluetooth 5 low engery module contains an open ​Nordic nRF52840 multiprotocol SoC.

Bluetooth HCI (GW16126)

The standard GW16126 comes the nRF52840 pre-programmed by Gateworks with ​Zephyr Project ​hci_uart offering a bluetooth HCI UART host controller. The Open-Source Zephyr Project provides a small scalable real-time operating system (RTOS) well suited for small ARM processors such as the one in the nRF52840 and its ​hci_uart sample code implements a BLE HCI via the H4 UART protocol with the following:

  • 1mbps baudrate
  • 8bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
  • hardware flow control required

To use the GW16126 bluetooth HCI with Linux you need the following:

  • Linux 4.10+ kernel with the following:
    • FTDI UART support (CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_FTDI_SIO)
    • HCI UART with H4 (CONFIG_BT_HCIUART and CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_H4) in order to provide a bluetooth HCI over UART
    • crypto userspace API (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER, CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_AEAD, CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH, CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_RNG, CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER) in order to generate a random Bluetooth MAC (BDADDR)
  • Bluetooth stack such as BlueZ (4.45+)

The following shows how you would interact with the BLE controller via BlueZ on Ubuntu bionic: 

apt-get install bluez
# configure bluez to run expirimental features
sed -i '/^ExecStart=/ s/$/ -E/' /lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service 
# restart bluetoothd
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart bluetooth
# attach HCI UART
dev=$(basename $(ls -d /sys/bus/usb/drivers/ftdi_sio/*/ttyUSB*))
modprobe hci_uart
btattach -B /dev/$dev -S 1000000 -P h4 &
# scan for BLE devices
hcitool -i hci0 lescan

Zephyr Project Firmware

While the nRF52840 comes pre-programmed with firmware to make it a ​fully featured Bluetooth HCI you could develop your own firmware and re-program it if desired.

The ​Zephyr Project is a scaleable real-time operating system (RTOS) supporting multiple hardware architectures, optimized for resource constrained devices, and built with security in mind. The Zephyr Project supports the Nordic nRF58240 within the u-blox NINA-B3 BLE module and can be modified to give it a personality of its own. Some examples within the Zephyr Project that are suited for the GW16123 out of the box are:

  • HCI uart
  • BLE beacon

Gateworks has added GW16126 board support to Zephyr ​here via ​commit ba5f00ad

Examples:

  1. Install Zephyr source 
    git clone https://github.com/Gateworks/zephyr.git
cd ~/zephyr  # or to your directory where zephyr is cloned
# install more requirements via pip
pip3 install --user -r scripts/requirements.txt
  2. Build HCI UART (what Gateworks pre-programms into the GW16126): 
    # setup shell for building Zephyr
source zephyr-env.sh:
cd $ZEPHYR_BASE/samples/bluetooth/hci_uart
mkdir -p build/gw16126 && cd build/gw16126
cmake -DBOARD=nrf52840_gw16126 ../..
make
ls zephyr/zephyr.hex
  3. Build Bluetooth Beacon: 
    # setup shell for building Zephyr
source zephyr-env.sh:
cd $ZEPHYR_BASE/samples/bluetooth/beacon
mkdir -p build/gw16126 && cd build/gw16126
cmake -DBOARD=nrf52840_gw16126 ../..
make
ls zephyr/zephyr.hex

CollapsibleStart(Programming the nRF58240)

Programming the nRF58240

While the nRF52840 comes pre-programmed with firmware to make it a ​fully featured Bluetooth HCI you could develop your own firmware and re-program it if desired. The device can be programmed via SWD using the FT231X CBUS pins as follows:

  • CBUS1 - SWDIO
  • CBUS2 - SWDCLK

To program you can use OpenOCD with the sysfsgpio interface as long as you have a kernel that supports GPIO in the ftdi-sio driver (Linux 4.20+).

The following will create a gw16126.cfg OpenOCD interface file specifying SWD and mapping the SWCLK/SWDIO pins to the FT231X CBUS2/CBUS1 pins:

  1. Create an OpenOCD interface file for the GW16126 that defines the Linux gpio signals for SWD: 
    base=$(for i in $(ls -1d /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip*); do [ "ftdi-cbus" = "$(cat $i/label)" ] && cat $i/base; done)
[ "$base" ] || { echo "Error: could not find ftdi-cbus device - Linux 4.20+ required"; }
cat << EOF > gw16126.cfg
interface sysfsgpio
transport select swd
Show quoted text
sysfsgpio_swd_nums $((base + 2)) $((base + 1))
EOF
  2. Build OpenOCD from git master for nRF52840 support: 
    apt-get install build-essential git flex bison pkg-config libtool autoconf automake texinfo libusb-1.0-0-dev
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/openocd/code openocd
cd openocd
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-sysfsgpio
make install
    • alternatively you can fetch from a zip archive via {{{wget --no-check-certificate

  • I've been having issues on bionic because NTP isn't working right which leads to certificate issues. You can disable by git config --global http.sslverify false

Software Support

In General, the following software is necessary for the GW16126:

  • LTE Cat-M1 modem:
    • Linux 4.17+ kernel with option driver (CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_OPTION) and qmi driver (CONFIG_USB_NET_QMI_WWAN)
      • Linux 4.5+ needed for QMI RAW IP support (unless backported)
      • Linux 4.17+ needed for ublox R410M (unless backported)
  • BLE HCI:
    • Linux 4.5+ kernel
    • hci_uart driver (CONFIG_BT_HCIUART, CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_H4 hci_uart)
    • Userspace cryptographic algorithm support (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API*) (for generation of random bdaddr in BlueZ)
    • Bluetooth stack such as BlueZ (4.45+ with Experimental support (-E param on bluetoothd))

Ubuntu:

  • LTE Cat-M1 modem: requires network-manager modemmanager libqmi
  • BLE HCI: requires bluez
  • fully supported (with the above)

OpenWrt 18.6.1:

  • requires kmod-usb-net-opton, kmod-usb-net-qmi-wwan, kmod-usb-serial, kmod-usb-serial-ftdi, kmod-usb-serial-qualcomm, kmod-bluetooth, kmod-crypto-user, kmod-crypto-hash, bluez-daemon, uqmi
  • fully supported (with the above)

OpenWrt 16.02:

  • will not work without backporting qmi raw-ip support and modem ID's to option1/qmi-wwan driver
